Classified topobathymetric point cloud of Kalamazoo River Reference Reach upstream of Plainwell, Michigan, 2021

This dataset is a classified point cloud comprising topographic and bathymetric data for an approximately 500 meter (m) reach of the Kalamazoo River upstream of Plainwell, Michigan (MI). The dataset contains point elevation data collected by several different methods. Bathymetric data in the river channel were collected in October, 2021 with a single beam sonar and Acoustic Current Doppler Profiler operated along 2 longitudinal transects and 48 cross-sectional transects, respectively. River bank topographic data were collected with a backpack-mounted terrestrial lidar unit concurrently with the bathymetric data. All points from the respective datasets were projected to the same coordinate system. Points were classified by a combination of automated and manual methods and include the classes ground, low vegetation, medium vegetation; high vegetation, water, and noise.
