3DEP Lidar HAG on Planetary Computer

The 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) Lidar Height Above Ground (HAG) dataset is made available through the Microsoft Planetary Computer. This resource provides high-resolution lidar data specifically processed to represent the height of features above the bare earth. It is a valuable asset for detailed topographic analysis and understanding land surface characteristics across various regions.

Users can leverage this dataset for a wide array of applications, including forestry management, hydrological modeling, and urban planning. The data's precision supports accurate measurements of tree canopy heights, flood plain mapping, and infrastructure development. Accessing this data through the Planetary Computer platform facilitates efficient processing and integration with other geospatial datasets.

The Microsoft Planetary Computer serves as a comprehensive data hub for environmental science, offering a vast collection of global geospatial data. Its cloud-native infrastructure allows researchers and developers to perform large-scale analyses without needing to download massive files. The platform also supports advanced computational workflows, making it a powerful environment for working with complex datasets like 3DEP Lidar HAG.
