Full Citation Examples
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) had a requirement for high resolution Lidar needed for mapping the Brooks Camp region of Katmai National Park in Alaska.
Aero-Metric, Inc. (AeroMetric) acquired highly accurate Lidar data for an area that comprises of approximately 17.5 square miles for the USGS. This acquisition was carried out to satisfy the need for high resolution elevation data in the region. A Leica ALS70 Lidar system was used in the collection of data for this project.
This project involves new Lidar data acquisition at an approximate pulse spacing of 0.6 meters. This data was to be calibrated such that all systematic errors were accounted for. The project required bare-earth classification and hydroenforcement of water bodies for the production of contours and digital elevation models.
Data was to conform to a vertical accuracy of 18.5 cm RMSE in open terrain. The accuracy as tested and published in this report has met vertical accuracy requirements as specified by the client.

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be aware that temporal changes may have occurred since this data set was collected and some parts of this data may no longer represent actual surface conditions.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. These data depict the heights at the time of the survey and are only accurate for that time.

Abstract: |
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) had a requirement for high resolution Lidar needed for mapping the Brooks Camp region of Katmai National Park in Alaska. Aero-Metric, Inc. (AeroMetric) acquired highly accurate Lidar data for an area that comprises of approximately 17.5 square miles for the USGS. This acquisition was carried out to satisfy the need for high resolution elevation data in the region. A Leica ALS70 Lidar system was used in the collection of data for this project. This project involves new Lidar data acquisition at an approximate pulse spacing of 0.6 meters. This data was to be calibrated such that all systematic errors were accounted for. The project required bare-earth classification and hydroenforcement of water bodies for the production of contours and digital elevation models. Data was to conform to a vertical accuracy of 18.5 cm RMSE in open terrain. The accuracy as tested and published in this report has met vertical accuracy requirements as specified by the client. |
Purpose: |
The purpose of this data set is to provide a source for bare-earth topographic information. This data is not recommended for design grade mapping or engineering without a ground truth survey. |

Supplemental Information: |
This delivery consists of points classified to represent the bare-earth surface in LAS 1.2 format. The following are the collection parameters and equipment used to create these data sets: Aircraft: Piper Navajo (82TB) Lidar System: Leica ALS70 (7161) Approximate Collection Altitude (Above Mean Terrain): 1500 meters Ground Speed: 150 kts Lidar Pulse Rate Frequency: 70 kHz Mirror Scan Frequency: 62 Hz Scan Angle (+/-): 11 degrees Side Lap: 54 percent Accuracy statements are based on areas of moderate terrain, with points classified as ground. Diminished accuracies are to be expected in areas of extreme terrain and dense vegetation. The accuracy of each point is expected to meet the vertical accuracy standard, derived products may be less accurate in areas of extreme terrain and dense vegetation due to a lesser number of points defining the ground in these areas. Classified data sets such as this one may have varying posting due to some pulses not reaching the ground. Breaklines are available for this project though they have not been reviewed by NOAA, and are used with discretion.

Description: |
The NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) received the files in laz format from USGS via an FTP online repository. The files contained lidar elevation and intensity measurements. The data were in UTM Zone 5, NAVD88 (orthometric) heights in meters. OCM performed the following processing for data storage and Digital Coast provisioning purposes: 1. The data were converted from UTM coordinates to geographic coordinates. 2. The data were converted from NAVD88 (orthometric) heights in meters to GRS80 (ellipsoid) heights in meters using Geoid 09. 3. The LAS data were sorted by latitude and the headers were updated. |
