Abstract

Airborne lidar study of lake ecosystems is still a relatively unexplored field. In this presentation we introduce a spatial and temporal study of the lidar attenuation coefficient from a series of flights conducted in 2015 and 2016 over Yellowstone Lake, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA. We then relate these data to the Secchi disk depth, discuss the possible impact that local weather may have had on the attenuation coefficient, and compare these data to the modeled lidar attenuation coefficient.
