Figure 11. Light detection and ranging (lidar) and field measurements obtained with a Jacob Staff generally agree within <4 m. Increasing error with height may indicate that compounding error associated with Jacob Staff measurements may be the largest source of error. Other sources of error include: river-level variations, spatial resolution of the lidar data, and inaccurate placement of remnant contacts on aerial photography.
