  • This data package contains digital elevation models (DEMs) of each of the 15 NPP study sites at the Jornada Basin LTER in southern New Mexico, USA. The models were derived from raw images collected during uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) overflight missions conducted in late summer and early autumn of 2019 (1 overflight day per site). For each site one or two missions were flown during an afternoon using a DJI Phantom 4 UAV, and between 450 and 1300 12.4 megapixel RGB images were captured. A subset of images captured at each site were loaded into Agisoft Metashape software to derive digital elevation models using a structure from motion method. These models include elevations of vegetation and other aboveground features. The raw images are not provided but can be made available via project PIs. This data package includes one centimeter resolution DEMs of all 15 sites as geotiff raster files. Other derived products from these UAV missions, including orthomosaic photos, digital terrain models, and sparse point clouds, are available in other EDI data packages (knb-lter-jrn.210543001, knb-lter-jrn.210543003, and knb-lter-jrn.210543004, respectively). This study is complete.
