LiDAR data for the project and the validation site was collected by a single aerial vendor on ESP team between February 10, 2017 and April 10, 2017 using Geiger-mode Avalanche Photodiode (GmAPD) sensors. The aerial vendor on the ESP team was Harris Corporation (Harris).Three GmAPD (Geiger-mode) sensors (serial numbers 001,002 and 003) were used for the data collection of LiDAR data at a 0.35 meter nominal post spacing (NPS). The following counties were collected in the February through April, 2017 collection: Ashe, Avery, Buncombe, Burke, Caldwell, Cherokee, Clay, Graham, Haywood, Henderson, Jackson, Macon, Madison, McDowell, Mitchell, Polk, Rutherford, Swain, Transylvania, Watauga and Yancey. All data was collected during leaf-off conditions. Ground survey support for the project included the establishment of GPS base stations and the collection of control points used for calibration. All LiDAR and derivative products for this project met the specifications stipulated in Delivery Order 35, the NC LiDAR Standard, and the USGS minimum standards for QL1 LiDAR data. This project was a joint effort between NC Emergency Management, NC Geodetic Survey, and the NCDOT. The following people served as the main representatives for each stakeholder: NC Emergency Management- Hope Morgan (primary contact) and John Dorman; NC Geodetic Survey- Gary Thompson and Watson Ross; NCDOT- Keith Johnston and Marc Swartz, and the United States Geological Survey (USGS). This metadata supports the data entry in the NOAA Digital Coast Data Access Viewer (DAV). For this data set, the DAV is leveraging the Entwine Point Tiles hosted on AWS.
