classified_points: Classified point cloud data are provided in LAS format. Data are classified in accordance with ASPRS 2019 guidelines and contain return and intensity information. The average pulse spacing for non-noise returns is 26.9 cm and the average pulse density is 13.8 pts/m2. For ground points, the average point spacing is 59.6 cm and the average density is 2.82 pts/m2. Within the survey area and the scientific priority area, the average pulse spacing and density is 20.7 cm and 23.24 pts/m2, respectively, and the average ground point spacing and density is 64.4 cm and 2.41 pts/m2.
dsm: The DSM represents surface elevations, including heights of vegetation, buildings, powerlines, etc. The DSM is a single-band, 32-bit GeoTIFF file of 50-centimeter resolution, delivered in 1 km by 1 km tiles. No Data value is set to -9999.
dtm: The DTM represent bare earth elevations, excluding vegetation, bridges, buildings, etc. the DTM is single-band, 32-bit float GeoTIFF file, of 50-centimeter ('DTM'). No Data value is set to -9999.
dtm_detail: The detailed DTM represents bare earth elevations, excluding vegetation. The DTM is single-band, 32-bit float GeoTIFF file, of 20-cm resolution. This higher-resolution DTM file covers an area identified as a scientific priority. No Data value is set to -9999.
lidar_intensity: The lidar intensity image describes the relative amplitude of reflected signals contributing to the point cloud. Lidar intensity is primarily 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, 16-bit unsigned GeoTIFF file of 0.5-meter resolution. No Data value is set to -9999.
lidar_las_index: The LAS index file is a shapefile with polygons that serve as an index to the spatial location and extent of each point cloud (LAS) bin.

The area of this survey is the traditional homelands of the Dena'ina people. We partnered with U.S. Forest Service to cost-share the acquisition of lidar data in an area of mutual interest. We thank Clearwater Air for their aviation expertise and contribution to these data products and the Alaska Division of Mining, Land, and Water for collecting ground control points. The views and conclusions contained in this document are those of the authors and should not be interpreted as necessarily representing the official policies, either expressed or implied, of the U.S. Government.
The orthoimage and elevation data were collected for assessing coastal hazards and changes.
