        abstract:  In July 2023, NV5 was contracted by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to collect topobathymetric Light Detection and Ranging (lidar) data from August 2023 to July 2024 for the NOAA Ozarks site. The NOAA Ozarks area of interest encompasses several river sections in Missouri, Arkansas, and Oklahoma. In total, the base project area of the NOAA Ozarks project encompasses approximately 745 square statute miles. The final classified lidar data were transformed from ellipsoid (GRS80) to geoidal height (Geoid18) and used to create topobathymetric DEMs in Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF format with 1m pixel resolution.
        purpose:  This lidar data was required by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the National Geodetic Survey (NGS), Remote Sensing Division Coastal Mapping Program (CMP) to support national shoreline characterization along 29 river stretches in Missouri, Arkansas, and Oklahoma. Additionally, data will be utilized to enable accurate and consistent hydrologic flood and weather monitoring in support of the National Water Center's modeling efforts.
        credit:  We request that you credit the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) when you use these data in a report, publication, or presentation.

        supplementalInformation:  The NOAA Ozarks Topbathymetric Lidar data includes all lidar returns within the project's buffered boundary. An automated grounding classification algorithm was used to determine bare earth and submerged topography point classification. The automated grounding was followed with manual editing. Classes 2 (ground), 40 (submerged topography), and 43 (submerged object) were used to create the final DEMs. The full workflow used for this project is documented in the NOAA Ozarks Topobathymetric Lidar final report.

            evaluationMethodDescription:  HORIZONTAL ACCURACY - Lidar horizontal accuracy is a function of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) derived positional error, flying altitude, and INS derived attitude error. VERTICAL ACCURACY - Absolute accuracy was assessed using Non-Vegetated Vertical Accuracy (NVA) survey methods. Survey check points were evenly distributed as feasible throughout the project area. NVA compares known ground check point data that were withheld from the calibration and post-processing of the lidar point cloud to the triangulated surface generated by the ground classified lidar point cloud. Project specifications require NVA meet 0.196 m accuracy at the 95% confidence interval. Submerged topography points were tested separately and usually occurred in depths up to 1m. Project specifications require submerged topography shall meet a vertical RMSE of QL2b specified in the Draft National Coastal Mapping strategy 1.0 which is equivalent to 0.30 m RMSE at a depth of 1 m.

                description:  Data for the NOAA Ozarks Topbathymetric Lidar Delivery 1 Block A area was acquired by NV5 Geospatial (NV5) using a Leica Chiroptera Hawkeye 4X topobathymetric lidar system. All derived Ellipsoidal height LAS data is referenced to: Horizontal Datum-NAD83(2011) epoch: 2010.00 Projection-UTM Zone 15N Horizontal Units-meters Vertical Datums-GRS80 Ellipsoid Vertical Units-meters NOAA provided NV5 Geospatial with a project boundary for the NOAA Ozarks Topobathymetric Lidar project. Using a 25 meter buffered boundary, NV5 created an airborne lidar acquisition plan. The collected lidar data were immediately processed in the field by NV5 to a level that will allow QA\QC measures to determine if the sensor is functioning properly and assess the coverage of submerged topography. An initial SBET was created using Waypoint Inertial Explorer 8.90, and the raw data were extracted into geo-referenced LAS files using Lidar Survey Studio 3.0 with pre-calculated scanner misalignment angles determined through a boresight protocol. These files were inspected for errors and then passed through an automated workflow, producing rasters to develop an initial assessment of bathymetric coverage. NV5 reviewed all acquired flight lines to ensure complete coverage and positional accuracy of the laser points. These rasters were also used to create an initial product in Quick Look Coverage Maps. These Quick Look files are not fully processed data or final products but provide rapid assessment of approximate coverage and depth penetration.

                description:  NV5 resolved kinematic corrections for aircraft position data using aircraft GNSS and Applanix's proprietary PP-RTX solution. When PP-RTX was not used NV5 conducted static Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) ground surveys (1 Hz recording frequency) using base stations over known monument locations during flights. After the airborne survey, static GPS data were triangulated with nearby Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS) using the Online Positioning User Service (OPUS) for precise positioning. Multiple independent sessions over the same base station were performed to confirm antenna height measurements and to refine position accuracy. This data was used to correct the continuous on board measurements of the aircraft position recorded throughout the flight. A final smoothed best estimate trajectory (SBET) was developed that blends post-processed aircraft position with attitude data. Using the SBETs, sensor head position and attitude were then calculated throughout the survey. Trimble Business Center v.3.90, Blue Marble Geographic Calculator 2019, and PosPac MMS 8.3 SP3 were used for these processes. Following the final SBET creation, NV5 used Leica Lidar Survey Studio (LSS) to calculate laser point positioning by associating SBET positions to each laser point return time, scan angle, and intensity. Leica LSS was used to derive a synthetic water surface to create a water surface model. Light travels at different speeds in air versus water and its direction of travel or angle is changed or refracted when entering the water column. The refraction tool corrects for this difference by adjusting the depth (distance traveled) and horizontal positioning (change of angle/direction) of the lidar data. All lidar data below water surface models were classified as water column to correct for refraction. Using raster-based QC methods, the output data is verified to ensure the refraction tool functioned properly.

                description:  Once all data was refracted by flight line, the data was exported to LAS 1.4 format and combined into 500 m x 500 m tiles. Data were then further calibrated using TerraMatch. NV5 used custom algorithms in TerraScan to classify the initial ground/submerged topography surface points. Relative accuracy of overlapping swaths was compared and verified through the use Delta-Z (DZ) orthos created using NV5's Las Product Creator. Absolute vertical accuracy of the calibrated data was assessed using ground survey data and complete coverage was again verified.

                description:  Post automated classification NV5 then performed manual editing to review all classification and improve the final topobathymetric surface. NV5's LasMonkey was used to update LAS header information, including all projection and coordinate reference system information. The final lidar data are in LAS format 1.4 and point data record format 6. The final classification scheme is as follows: 1 - Unclassified 1 Withheld - Edge clip 1 Overlap Withheld - Unrefracted green data from Chiroptera sensor 2 - Ground 7 Withheld -Low noise 17 - Bridge Decks 18 Withheld - High noise 21 - Identifiable snow 22 - Temporal exclusion 40 - Bathymetric bottom or submerged topography 41 - Water surface 42 Synthetic- Chiroptera synthetic water surface 43 - Submerged feature 45 - Water column 64 - Submerged Aquatic Vegetation (SAV) 65 - overlap bathy bottom - temporally different from a separate lift

                description:  NV5 transformed the final lidar data from ellipsoid heights to orthometric heights referenced to NAVD88, Geoid 18 to create the final topobathymetric void clipped DEMs. The topobathymetric bare earth DEMs were output at 1 meter resolution in GeoTIFF format into 5000 m x 5000 m tiles. The raster DEMs are clipped to the extent of the project boundary and named according to project specifications. A bathymetric void shapefile was created to indicate areas where there was a lack of bathymetric returns. This shape was created by triangulating bathymetric bottom points with an edge length maximum of 4.56m to identify all areas greater then 9 square meters without bathymetric returns. This shapefile was used to clip and exclude interpolated elevation data from these areas in the bathymetric void clipped topobathymetric bare earth model.
