The point-cloud files have spurious returns over many of the lakes/reservoirs in the area that are tagged other than 7 or 18. They’re streaks about 0.3 m long located 200+ m above the lake. In most cases the streak has 3–8 points, but I’ve found one with 34 points.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The outlier filter with statistical or radius methods doesn’t remove these longer streaks.
