      <abstract>A half-meter (0.5 m) cell size Digital Elevation Model (DEM) raster was created from the ground classified lidar points plus the breaklines. The files are delivered in tile format (1000m by 1000m), the rasters are delivered in 32-bit floating point GeoTIFF format (.tif) and adhere to USGS-NGP Lidar Base Specification 2021, rev. A.

This metadata record supports the data entry in the NOAA Digital Coast Data Access Viewer (DAV). For this data set, the DAV is leveraging the GeoTIFF files hosted by USGS on Amazon Web Services.</abstract>
      <purpose>This task is for providing a spring 2022 leaf-off and snow-free lidar survey over an area of approximately 1,474.73 square miles. This project will support the 3DEP mission, the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) high-resolution elevation enterprise, as well as many state and local agencies.</purpose>
      <supplemental-information>Raster File Type =  TIFF
Bit Depth/Pixel Type = 32-bit float
Raster Cell Size = 0.5 meter
Interpolation or Resampling Technique = Triangulated Irregular Network (TIN)
Required Vertical Accuracy = 19.6cm NVA</supplemental-information>

      <horizontal-positional-accuracy>The lidar data set was produced to meet ASPRS Positional Accuracy Standards for Digital Geospatial Data (2014) for a 20 (cm) RMSEx / RMSEy Horizontal Accuracy Class which equates to Positional Horizontal Accuracy = +/- 49 cm at a 95% confidence level.</horizontal-positional-accuracy>
      <vertical-positional-accuracy>This data set was produced to meet ASPRS Positional Accuracy Standard for Digital Geospatial Data (2014) for a 10-cm RMSEz Vertical Accuracy Class.

USGS Determined DEM Vertical Accuracy:
Non-Vegetated Vertical Accuracy (NVA) = 3.7 cm RMSE
Vegetated Vertical Accuracy (VVA) = 12.05 cm at 95th Percentile</vertical-positional-accuracy>

            <description>The NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) created references to the USGS GeoTIFF files that were ingested into the NOAA Digital Coast Data Access Viewer (DAV). No changes were made to the data. The DAV will access the raster data as it resides on Amazon Web Services (AWS).

These are the GeoTIFF files that are being accessed:
