This lidar was acquired by the NOAA Remote Sensing Division to support NOAA's IOCM initiative. It is not intended for

mapping, charting or navigation. In addition, it will be used for ongoing research efforts for testing and developing

standards for airborne lidar.

Data include all lidar returns (first, second, third, and last) and have not been classified or

filtered to bare earth by the National Geodetic Survey (NGS). "Outliers" or "false returns" (e.g., returns from birds,

atmospheric particles, and/or system noise) may be present in the data.

Any conclusions drawn from the analysis of this information are not the responsibility of NOAA, the Office for Coastal Management or its partners.

Users should be aware that temporal changes may have occurred since this data set was collected and some parts of

this data may no longer represent actual surface conditions. Users should not use this data for critical applications without a

full awareness of its limitations.

OS Independent

The data positions were obtained using post processed KGPS methods. The horizontal accuracy of the data is

better than +/- 2.0m.
