      <abstract>These data were collected by the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration National Geodetic Survey Remote Sensing Division using a Riegl VQ820G system.  The data were acquired from 20160721 - 20161121. The data includes topobathy data in an LAS 1.2 format file classified as unclassified (1), noise (7), bathymetric point  (26), and submerged object (29) in accordance with the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) classification standards.  This data set may also include lidar intensity values and encoded RGB image values. A digital elevation model was then derived from the lidar points.

      <purpose>This lidar data are an ancillary product of NOAA's Coastal Mapping Program (CMP), created through a wider Integrated Ocean and Coastal Mapping initiative to increase support for multiple uses of the data.  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.</purpose>
      <notes>11391</notes>
      <supplemental-information>Data include all lidar returns. Outliers or false returns (e.g., returns from birds, atmospheric particles, and/or system noise) may be present in the data. An automated ground classification algorithm was used to determine bare earth point classification. It should be noted that not all returns were correctly classified; therefore the user should examine for acceptability.</supplemental-information>

            <description>The NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) received files in las format. The files contained lidar elevation and intensity measurements of the Florida Keys Outer Reef Block 01. The data were in UTM Zone 17 coordinates and ellipsoid elevations in meters. The data classifications for the data are: 1 - unclassified, 7 - noise, 26 - bathymetric point, and 29 - submerged object . OCM performed the following processing on the data for Digital Coast storage and provisioning purposes:  1. Converted from UTM Zone 17 to geographic coordinates 2. Sorted by gps time 3.  Compressed the data using laszip</description>

            <description>The NOAA Office for Coastal Management used the point cloud data to derive a digital elevation model (DEM) for the area. The DEM was created by using the ground and bathy points processed through these steps: 1) reprojected to UTM zone 17 coordinates and orthometric heights via geoid12b; 2) retiled with a buffer using lastile from LAStools; 3) tiles rasterized with las2dem from LAStools; 4) tiles mosaiced into a single DEM with gdalbuildvrt and gdal_translate.</description>
