Data Management Plan (Deprecated)
GUID: gov.noaa.nmfs.inport:49883 | Published / External
This is an outdated version of the NOAA Data Management Plan template. InPort now supports a dedicated Data Management Plan Catalog Item type, which is up-to-date with the latest NOAA DMP template. The ability to generate Data Management Plans from Data Sets will be discontinued in a future release. Please see the Data Management Plan Help Guide to learn more.
Data Management Plan
DMP Template v2.0.1 (2015-01-01)
Please provide the following information, and submit to the NOAA DM Plan Repository.Reference to Master DM Plan (if applicable)
As stated in Section IV, Requirement 1.3, DM Plans may be hierarchical. If this DM Plan inherits provisions from a higher-level DM Plan already submitted to the Repository, then this more-specific Plan only needs to provide information that differs from what was provided in the Master DM Plan.
1. General Description of Data to be Managed
Using Leica Geosystems ALS50 Laser Systems, 89 flight lines with a nominal point spacing = 1.4 meters (4.59 feet)
were collected over Erie County, NY (approximately 1044 square miles). Multiple returns were recorded for each laser
pulse along with an intensity value for each return. The data acquisition occurred in missions on April 17, 2008
and April 28, 2008. During the LIDAR campaign, the field crew conducted a GPS field survey to establish final
coordinates of the ground base stations for final processing of the base-remote GPS solutions. This is a bare
earth classified data set; points are classified as ground or unclassified. Please note that water points are
sometimes classified as 'Unclassified' and other times as 'Ground'.
LIDAR data is remotely sensed high-resolution elevation data collected by an airborne collection platform.
Using a combination of laser range finding, GPS positioning and inertial measurement technologies; LIDAR instruments
are able to make highly detailed Digital Elevation Models (DEM) of the earth's terrain, man-made structures and vegetation.
This data was collected at a resolution to aid in coastal management decisions including flood plain analysis and mapping.

Process Steps:
- 2008-04-01 00:00:00 - Data Collection: Using an Leica Geosystems ALS50 Laser Systems, 89 flight lines with a nominal point spacing = 1.4 meters (4.59 feet) were collected over Erie County, NY (approximately 1044 square miles). Multiple returns were recorded for each laser pulse along with an intensity value for each return. The data acquisition occurred in missions on April 17, 2008 and April 28, 2008. During the LIDAR campaign, the field crew conducted a GPS field survey to establish final coordinates of the ground base stations for final processing of the base-remote GPS solutions.
- 2008-05-01 00:00:00 - Airborne GPS Processing: Airborne GPS data was differentially processed and integrated with the post processed IMU data to derive a smoothed best estimate of trajectory (SBET). The SBET was used to reduce the LiDAR slant range measurements to a raw reflective surface for each flight line. The overlap between flight lines was removed to provide a homogeneous coverage, and the coverage was classified to extract a bare earth digital elevation model (DEM). Airborne GPS is differentially processed using the GrafNAV V7.50 software by Waypoint Consulting of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. IMU data is processed using the PosPac V4.2 software by Applanix Corporation of Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada. The reflective surface is derived using the ALS Post Processor software by Leica Geosystems GIS & Mapping Division of Atlanta, Georgia. The classification and quality control (QC) of LiDAR data is carried out using TerraScan software by Terrasolid Limited of Helsinki, Finland.
- 2008-08-01 00:00:00 - LIDAR Ground Point Classification: The classification and quality control (QC) of LiDAR Ground point class is carried out using TerraScan software by Terrasolid Limited of Helsinki, Finland. In the filtering process points are classified as Ground or non-Ground classes (Unclassified).
- 2008-08-01 00:00:00 - Output: LAS Files LIDAR points in 1.0 format; ASCII (e,n,z,i) for first return and last return; ESRI GRID for Bare Earth; GeoTiff (8-bit, single band) Intensity Images.
- 2008-12-23 00:00:00 - The NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) received the files in las format. The files contained Lidar elevation and intensity measurements. The data were in State Plane New York West, FIPS 3103 coordinates, horizontal units of measure of US survey feet and in NAVD88 Geoid 03 vertical datum with vertical units of measure of feet. OCM performed the following processing to the data to make it available within the Digital Coast: 1. The data were converted from NY State Plane coordinates to geographic coordinates. 2. The data were converted from NAVD88 (orthometric) heights to GRS80 (ellipsoid) heights using Geoid 03. 3. The LAS data were sorted by latitude and the headers were updated. 4. The data were filtered to remove outliers.

7. Data Access
NAO 212-15 states that access to environmental data may only be restricted when distribution is explicitly limited by law, regulation, policy (such as those applicable to personally identifiable information or protected critical infrastructure information or proprietary trade information) or by security requirements. The EDMC Data Access Procedural Directive contains specific guidance, recommends the use of open-standard, interoperable, non-proprietary web services, provides information about resources and tools to enable data access, and includes a Waiver to be submitted to justify any approach other than full, unrestricted public access.
