classified point cloud data: Classified point cloud data is provided in this collection in compressed .laz format. Data are classified in accordance with ASPRS 2014 guidelines and contain return and intensity information. The average pulse spacing was 24.8 cm and the average density was 16.25 pts/m^2. Elevation surfaces interpolated from areas with a point density of fewer than 4pts/m2 were classified as nodata. digital surface model: The DSM represents surface elevations, for example, heights of vegetation, buildings, bridges, etc. The DSM is a single band, 32-bit GeoTIFF file, with a ground sample distance of 0.5 meters. No Data value is set to -3.40282306074e+038. digital terrain model: The DTM represents surface elevations of ground surfaces, excluding vegetation, bridges, buildings, etc. The DTM is a single-band, 32-bit float GeoTIFF file, with a ground sample distance of 0.5 meters. No Data value is set to -3.40282306074e+038. lidar intensity image: The lidar intensity image describes the relative amplitude of reflected signals, contributing to the point cloud. Lidar intensity is largely a function of scanned object reflectance in relation to the signal frequency, is dependent on ambient conditions, and is not necessarily consistent between separate scans. The intensity image is a single-band, 32-bit float GeoTIFF file with a ground sample distance of 0.5 meters. No Data value is set to -3.40282306074e+038 (32-bit, floating-point minimum). hydro-enforced digital terrain model: The hydro-enforced DTM represents bare earth surfaces which have undergone a selective "flattening" process, where elevation values for any hydrologic features, as well as any hydrologic obstacles (bridges, culverts, etc.), are replaced with neighboring pixel values. The hydro-enforced DTM is a single-band, 32-bit float GeoTIFF file, with a ground sample distance of 0.5 meters. No Data value is set to -3.40282306074e+038.

These data were paid for by the State of Alaska and collected and processed by DGGS. A ground survey was conducted for quality control by the Alaska Division of Mining, Land and Water, and supported by the Native Village of Bill Moore's Slough and the Native Village of Kotlik.
Detailed bare earth elevation data for the Kotlik area support and inform potential infrastructure development and provide critical information required to assess geomorphic activity. This data release is one of a series of DGGS publications to present elevation data.
