Hillshade of the highest hit digital elevation model using the Sonoma Veg Map LiDAR data. The Mosaic Reproject function was used to reproject the raster mosaic to Web Mercator. The Mosaic hillshade function was applied to generate this hillshade. The default values were used except for the Z value. A value of .4 was used for the Z value. The raster cache was generated from the prevous item.

The DEM used to create this hillshade is described as a Highest Hit or First Return digital elevation model (DEM) represents the earth’s surface with the base or bare-earth DEM values subtracted from the first returns, with the resulting raster being the height of any vegetation, structure, or the ground for those areas lacking in vegetation or structures for the subject area. Values are in feet. Each cell in the GRID is three feet and has a value that represents an average vegetation height at that location. The purpose of the data is to provide users with a very accurate view of the vegetation height in the subject area for the date of data capture.
