Topographic data were collected along study reach 3 in Caulks Creek in Wildwood, Missouri, on multiple dates, using terrestrial light detection and ranging (t-lidar), Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), and conventional surveying techniques (Rydlund and Densmore, 2012). The data from the first two surveys are high-resolution topography in laser scan format, collected using a tripod mounted t-lidar at multiple scan setups. Data collection software integrated and stored the range and angular measurements from the t-lidar equipment. Computer software was used to process the raw data, align the various scans in reference to one another, classify the data, and extract the topography data in a useable format. The data from the second two surveys are stored in a comma-separated value (csv) format, collected using a tripod mounted Trimble M3 Total Station. The data represent the channel, bank, and near overbank surface and were saved with RGB (red-green-blue) color in LAS format. The topographic data are provided for the entire study reach for the first two survey dates (February 2022 and July 2022) with RGB color in LAS format and for the last two survey dates (February 2023 and July 2023) in a single csv file.
