Bathymetric data, December 2018 SWATH plus-M These metadata describe bathymetric data collected during a December 2018 SWATHPlus survey of Whiskeytown Lake, California. Data were collected and processed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center (PCMSC) during fieldwork activity number 2018-686-FA. The bathymetric data are provided as a GeoTIFF image. Peter Dartnell
Bathymetric data, May 2019 SWATH plus-M These metadata describe bathymetric data collected during a May 2019 SWATHPlus survey of Whiskeytown Lake, California. Data were collected and processed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center (PCMSC) during fieldwork activity number 2018-686-FA. The bathymetric data are provided as a GeoTIFF image. Peter Dartnell
Grain-size data for sediment samples Van Veen This data release includes grain-size data from sediment samples collected in submerged and subaerial regions in Whiskeytown Lake and around the reservoir margin. Amy East
Orthomosaic imagery for Whiskeytown Lake and surrounding area, 2019-06-03 Structure from Motion - crewed aircraft This portion of the data release presents an RGB orthomosaic image of Whiskeytown Lake and the surrounding area derived from Structure from Motion (SfM) processing of aerial imagery acquired on 2019-06-03. The orthomosaic is available in a high-resolution 6-centimeter (cm) version, as well as a medium-resolution 25 cm version. Joshua Logan
Orthomosaic imagery for Whiskeytown Lake and surrounding area, expanded AOI, 2019-06-03 Structure from Motion - crewed aircraft This portion of the data release presents an RGB orthomosaic image of an expanded area surrounding Whiskeytown Lake derived from Structure from Motion (SfM) processing of aerial imagery acquired on 2019-06-03. The orthomosaic is available in a high-resolution 14-centimeter (cm) version, as well as a medium-resolution 25 cm version. Joshua Logan
Orthomosaic imagery for Whiskeytown Lake and surrounding area, northern California, 2018-12-02 Structure from Motion - crewed aircraft This portion of the data release presents an RGB orthomosaic image of Whiskeytown Lake and the surrounding area derived from Structure from Motion (SfM) processing of aerial imagery acquired on 2018-12-02. The orthomosaic is available in a high-resolution 6-centimeter (cm) version, as well as a medium-resolution 25 cm version. Joshua Logan
Topographic digital surface model (DSM) for Whiskeytown Lake and surrounding area, 2018-12-02 Structure from Motion - crewed aircraft This portion of the data release presents a digital surface model (DSM) and hillshade of Whiskeytown Lake and the surrounding area derived from Structure from Motion (SfM) processing of aerial imagery acquired on 2018-12-02. Unlike a digital elevation model (DEM), the DSM represents the elevation of the highest object within the bounds of a cell. Joshua Logan
