Location: The East River (ER) is a snow‐dominated, headwater basin of the Upper Colorado River Basin (UCRB) located in the western United States. The ER is the designated testbed of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory's Watershed Function Scientific Focus Area (WFSFA). The ER is considered representative of many snow‐dominated headwaters of the Rocky Mountains. The study domain encompasses pristine alpine, subalpine, montane, and riparian ecosystems. The ER contains high‐energy mountain streams to low‐energy meandering floodplains and is eroding primarily into the Cretaceous, carbon‐rich, marine shale of the Mancos Formation.

Description

This report contains details of the National Ecological Observatory Network Airborne Observation Platform (NEON AOP) assignable asset (AA) flight over Crested Butte, Colorado (CO). The report is being prepared for Lawrence Berkeley National Lab (LBNL), the primary clients for the flights who contracted the NEON AOP for flights during June 2018. The report includes a summary of the acquired flight lines over the planned area, results of calibration surveys, and quality assurance (QA) results of the acquired data. Detailed reports on the acquired data and processing results were also delivered with the data. LBNL contracted the AA NEON AOP flights to observe watersheds of interest at Crested Butte with remotely sensed data including high resolution LiDAR, imaging spectroscopy, and high-resolution camera imagery. The remote sensing imagery acquired by the AOP intendeds to support LBNL on an interdisciplinary project on hydrology, biogeochemistry, and ecosystem functioning in the area surrounding the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory (RMBL), one of the most prominent ecological study sites in the United States.
