Quality Caution regarding use of the 1999 LVIS data

Please be aware that LVIS data collected in California, New Hampshire and North Carolina in 1999 were collected using an early version of the LVIS instrument. This early version had several engineering issues (such as timing errors, beam deviations, etc.) that sometimes resulted in large (10m+) errors in horizontal geolocation. ... View entire text
Access Constraints While substantial efforts have been made to ensure the accuracy of data and documentation, complete accuracy of data sets can not be guaranteed. All data are made available "as is". The LVIS team can not assume responsibility for damages resulting from mis-use or mis-interpretation of datasets or from errors or omissions that may exist in the data.
