SMAPVEX19-22 Massachusetts Lidar Derived Digital Surface Model V001

These digital surface model (DSM) data consist of surface elevations derived from source lidar measurements collected in August 2022 in the vicinity of Petersham, MA during the SMAPVEX19-22 campaign. The location was selected due to its forested land cover, as SMAPVEX19-22 aims to validate satellite derived soil moisture estimates in forested areas. The August collection period was selected to characterize ‘leaf-on’ conditions. DSM data represents the highest elevation of features on the Earth’s surface, which may include bare-earth, vegetation, and human-made objects.
