Abstract

These files contain bathymetric lidar data collected by the SHOALS-1000T system along the coast of California. Data coverage generally extends along the

coastline from the waterline offshore 1,000 meters or to laser extinction. Exclusively in areas where Fugro Pelagos acquired or planned to acquire

multibeam sonar data by December 31, 2009, data coverage extends from the shoreline either to the 10-m contour, the 20-m contour or the landward extent

of the multibeam data plus an additional 100 m offshore. The SHOALS system has a pulse repetition rate of 1 kHz at 532 nm (green wavelength). Native lidar

data is not generally in a format accessible to most Geographical Information Systems (GIS). Specialized in-house and commercial software packages are

used to process the native lidar data into 3-dimensional positions that can be imported into GIS software for visualization and further analysis. Horizontal

positions, provided in decimal degrees of latitude and longitude, are referenced to the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83). Vertical positions are

referenced to the NAD83 ellipsoid and provided in meters. The National Geodetic Survey's (NGS) GEOID09 model is used to transform the vertical positions

from ellipsoid to orthometric heights referenced to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88). Both ellipsoidal and orthometric heights were

provided to NOAA OCM. For data storage and Digital Coast provisioning, NOAA OCM processed the ellipsoidal height data.

Purpose:

These data were collected as a part of the National Coastal Mapping Program (NCMP) to depict the elevations above and below the water line in the

California coastal zone.

Notes:

10719

Supplemental Information:

High water turbidity in the survey area hindered the acquisition of bathymetric data in boxes 23,24,25,31,33,34,35 and 36 and resulted in incomplete coverage.

Lineage

Process Steps

Process Step 1

CC ID: 1132864
Description:

These data were collected using the SHOALS-1000T system. It is owned by Fugro Pelagos Inc. and operated through contract. The system collects bathymetric

lidar data at 1kHz and RGB imagery at 1Hz. A CASI-2 hyperspectral line scanner is integrated with the system as well. Aircraft position, velocity and

acceleration information are collected through a combination of Novatel and POS A/V 410 equipment. All raw data streams are transferred to the office for

downloading and processing in SHOALS GCS software. Aircraft position data are processed using POSPac software and the results are combined with the lidar

data to produce 3-D positions for each lidar shot. Upon inspection and QA/QC in the software package Fledermaus, anomalous data are flagged as invalid.

FPI Workbench then converts all valid data from ellipsoid to orthometric heights based on the NGS' GEOID09 model and exports data as a series of

bathymetry (H) ASCII files. The bathymetry files contain all of the returns from the bathymetric sensor which include returns both above and below the water.

Process Date/Time: 2009-01-01 00:00:00

Process Step 2

CC ID: 1132865
Description:

The NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) received ASCII formatted data in geographic coordinates and ellipsoid heights in meters. The files

contained lidar intensity and elevation measurements. OCM performed the following processing for data storage and Digital Coast provisioning purposes:

1. The data were converted from ASCII format to LAS format.

2. The data were classified as 11 (Bathymetry).

3. The processed las files were zipped.

Process Date/Time: 2012-05-01 00:00:00

Process Step 3

CC ID: 1132866
Description:

Times had originally been stored as POSIX seconds when converted to LAS. This was switched to adjusted GPS time (GPS seconds - 1e9) to conform to the LAS 1.2 standard.
