Super-high-resolution aerial imagery, digital surface model and 3D point cloud of Cape Simpson, Alaska (subset 05)

DOI

As part of the ThawTrend-Air airborne campaign led by the Alfred Wegener Institute in 2019, we collected super-high-resolution multispectral imagery of permafrost landscapes with the Modular Aerial Camera System (MACS), developed by the German Aerospace Center. From these images, we photogrammetrically processed four-band orthophotos (blue, green, red, near-infrared) and digital surface models at a spatial resolution of 7 cm, as well as photogrammetric point clouds in RGB and NIR at 24.98 pts/m² and 9.42 pts/m², respectively. This dataset covers approximately 4,83 km² of Cape Simpson in Alaska, with all images collected on 19 July 2019. This super-high-resolution dataset provides opportunities for generating detailed training datasets of permafrost landform inventories, a baseline for change detection for thermokarst and thermo-erosion processes, and upscaling of field measurements to lower-resolution satellite observations.
