Abstract

These data were collected by the Joint Airborne Lidar Bathymetry Technical Center of Expertise using the CHARTS

system. The data includes hydrographic and topographic data. The data were collected from April-Sept 2004

along the coastlines of Alabama, Florida, Mississippi and North Carolina. This data was collected prior to

Hurricane Ivan. There is also a Post-Hurricane Ivan data set available for Alabama and Florida.

Data Quality

Accuracy:

The accuracy of this data set has not been tested. The accuracy of the methodology has been published

in Irish, J.L., McClunk, J.K., Lillycrop, W.J., 2000. Airborne lidar bathymetry: the SHOALS system. PIANC Bulletin, No. 103-2000, 45-53.

Vertical accuracy is believed to be on the order of 15 cm root mean square error. Horizontal accuracy is expected to be on a similar order.

Process Steps

Process Step 1

CC ID: 1133708
Description:

The NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) received ASCII files from USACE. OCM performed the

following processing on the data to make it available within the Digital Coast Data Access Viewer (DAV):

1. The data were projected using the General Cartographic Transformation Package.

2. The lat, lon, and intensity values where extracted from the ascii files

and converted to the LAS binary format.

Process Date/Time: 2005-12-01 00:00:00

Process Step 2

CC ID: 1133709
Description:

For data management purposes, the NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) converted the data to:

1. LAS format from LDART bin format

2. Ellipsoid elevations from orthometric (NAVD88) elevations using Geoid 03.
