A separate contract issued to Aerial Surveying, Inc. by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) funded the lidar data processing and elevation data product development phases of the project. Lidar data provide high resolution digital elevation models that are used for many applications, including but not limited to sea level rise modeling, habitat assessments, and tsunami inundation modeling. In April 2011, NOAA Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument and NOAA Office for Coastal Management deployed a survey crew to the NWHI to collect high accuracy point data to validate the 2010 lidar data. The survey crew used survey-grade Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers to collect high accuracy elevation points. This metadata covers the information for French Frigate Shoals. This dataset contains lidar point clouds in LAS 1.2 format, classified according to the ASPRS LAS 1.2 class table. The following are the equipment used to create the lidar data sets. Aircraft: Beechcraft Queen Air Lidar Systems: Riegl 140 and 240 Accuracy statements are based on areas of open terrain, with points classified as ground. The accuracy of each point is expected to meet the vertical accuracy standard, derived products may be less accurate in areas of extreme terrain and dense vegetation due to a lesser number of points defining the ground in these areas. Classified data sets such as this one may have varying posting due to some pulses not reaching the ground. This work was conducted under permit number PMNM-2010-033 as approved by NOAA, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and the State of Hawaii, and acknowledged by Dr. Charles L. Littnan of NOAA's Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center. Original contact information: Contact Name: Lidar Manager Contact Org: Aerial Surveying Inc.

Full metadata was not received. Data were not originally classified for ground points and a separate contract had been done to classify the points. 2014-04-17T00:00:00 Office for Coastal Management processor LAS files for French Frigate Shoals could not be located. ASCII text versions of the point clouds did exist with x, y, z, intensity, class, return number, and GPS seconds of the week. For Tern island, the ITRF00 ellipsoid heights text file existed. For the smaller islands, only the ITRF00 EGM96 orthometric heights text file existed. The smaller islands were converted to ellipsoid heights by reversing EGM96. All data was converted from UTM zone 3 to geographic coordinates. The data was converted from ASCII to LAZ format with LAStools txt2las. The GPS seconds of the week were converted to adjusted GPS time using LAStools las2las -week_to_adjusted 1593. 2021-05-20T00:00:00 NOAA Office for Coastal Management (843) 740-1202 coastal.info@noaa.gov processor lidar data The dataset has been mosaiced, reprojected, and clipped as needed from the original input files using PDAL and GDAL commands. 2026-05-11NOAA Office for Coastal Managementcoastal.info@noaa.govprocessor
