        abstract:  Lidar-derived elevation data for Tuntutuliak, Southwest Alaska, collected August 18, 2021, Raw Data File 2023-17, provides aerial lidar derived classified point cloud data, a digital surface model (DSM), a digital terrain model (DTM), and an intensity model of Tuntutuliak, Southwest Alaska. Data were collected during leaf-on ground conditions. The survey provides snow-free surface elevation data for assessing coastal erosion and flooding hazards. Ground control data and aerial lidar data were collected on August 18, 2021, and subsequently processed using a suite of geospatial processing software. All files can be downloaded from the Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys website (http://doi.org/10.14509/31033). This metadata record supports the data entry in the NOAA Digital Coast Data Access Viewer (DAV). The NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) downloaded laz point data files from the AK DGGS (Alaska Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys) website (https://dggs.alaska.gov/pubs/id/31033). The data were processed to the NOAA Digital Coast Data Access Viewer (DAV) to make the data available for bulk and custom downloads. In addition to these lidar point data, the bare earth Digital Elevation Models (DEM) created from the lidar point data are also available. These data are available for custom download at the link provided in the URL section of this metadata record. This data set is an LAZ (compressed LAS) format file containing LIDAR point cloud data.
        purpose:  The survey provides snow-free surface elevation data for assessing coastal erosion and flooding hazards.
        credit:  This survey area is on the traditional homelands of the Yup'ik people. Data collection and processing were funded by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (now known as the National Coastal Resilience Fund), grant number 0318.20.069342, through the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium. We thank Clearwater Air for their aviation expertise and contribution to these data products.

        report:  (DQ_AbsoluteExternalPositionalAccuracy)
            nameOfMeasure:  Vertical Positional Accuracy
            evaluationMethodDescription:  We measured a mean offset of 48.8 cm between 33 control points and the point cloud. We reduced this offset to 0.1 cm by performing a vertical transformation of the lidar point data. We used ten checkpoints to determine the non-vegetated vertical accuracy (NVA) of the point cloud ground class using a Triangulated Irregular Network (TIN) approach. We calculated the project NVA to have a root mean square error (RMSE) of 3.7 cm. We evaluated the relative accuracy for this dataset as the interswath overlap consistency and measured it at 6.7 cm RMSE.

                description:  Ground survey - We deployed a Trimble R10 GNSS receiver at Tuntutuliak Airport. It provided a base station occupation and real-time kinematic (RTK) corrections to points we surveyed with a rover Trimble R8 GNSS receiver (internal antenna). We collected 43 ground control and checkpoints to use for calibration and to assess the vertical accuracy of the point cloud. Points were collected on bare earth, boardwalks, and vegetation (tall grass or alder). We processed and delivered all data in NAD83 (2011) UTM3N and vertical datum NAVD88 GEOID12B.

                description:  Aerial survey - DGGS used a Riegl VUX1-LR laser scanner integrated with a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) and Northrop Grumman LN-200C inertial measurement unit (IMU). The lidar integration system was designed by Phoenix LiDAR Systems. The sensor can collect up to 820,000 points per second at a range of up to 150 m. The scanner operated with a pulse refresh rate of 400,000 pulses per second at a scan rate of 200 lines per second. We used a Cessna 180 fixed-wing platform to survey from an elevation of ~200 m above ground level, at a ground speed of ~40 m/s, and with a scan angle set from 80 to 280 degrees. The total survey area covers ~19 km2. We flew the aerial survey on August 18, 2021, taking off from Bethel Airport and landing at Tuntutuliak Airport. Data was collected from 12:10 pm to 1:10 pm AKST. The weather throughout the survey was clear, with no wind.

                description:  Lidar dataset processing - We processed point data in SDCimport software for initial filtering and multiple-time-around (MTA) disambiguation. MTA errors, corrected in this process, result from ambiguous interpretations of received pulse time intervals and occur more frequently with higher pulse refresh rates. We processed IMU and GNSS data in Inertial Explorer, and we used Spatial Explorer software to integrate flightline information with the point cloud. We calibrated the point data at an incrementally precise scale of sensor movement and behavior, incorporating sensor velocity, roll, pitch, and yaw fluctuations throughout the survey. We created macros in Terrasolid software and classified points in accordance with American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) 2019 guidelines. Once classified, we applied a geometric transformation and converted the points from ellipsoidal heights to GEOID12B (Alaska) orthometric heights. We used ArcGIS Pro to derive raster products from the point cloud. The DSM was interpolated from maximum return values from the ground, vegetation, bridge deck, and building classes using a binning method. The DTM was interpolated from all ground class returns, also using a binning method and minimum values. In ArcGIS Pro, we produced an intensity image by binning and averaging ground, vegetation, building, and bridge deck classes.

                description:  The NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) downloaded 34 laz point data files from the Alaska Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys (AK DGGS). The data were in UTM Zone 3 (NAD83 2011), meters coordinates and NAVD88 (Geoid12b) elevations in meters. According to the lidar report, the data were classified as: 1 - Unclassified, 2 - Ground, 3 - Low Vegetation (0.05 m - 0.2 m), 4 - Medium Vegetation (0.2 m - 3 m), 5 - High Vegetation (3 m - 40 m), 6 - Building, 7 - Low Noise, 10 - Bridge Decks, 18 - High Noise. There were also points that were classified as 20 and 31 that were not listed in either the lidar report or in the provided metadata. These points were assumed to be Noise classes by OCM. AK DGGS confirmed that the class 20 and 31 points should be re-classified as 18 - High Noise. The Class 10 points were re-classified to Class 17 - Bridge Deck in order to be in line with the USGS spec. During review of the data, OCM also noted that there are points that fall in ponds/lakes and streams/rivers that are classified as ground. OCM processed all classifications of points to the Digital Coast Data Access Viewer (DAV), the classes available for download from the DAV are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 17,18. OCM performed the following processing on the data for Digital Coast storage and provisioning purposes: 1. Internal OCM scripts were run to check the number of points by classification and by flight ID and the gps, elevation, and intensity ranges. 2. Internal OCM scripts were run on the laz files to: a. Re-classify the Class 20 and 31 points to 18 - High Noise and the Class 10 points to 17 - Bridge Deck b. Convert from orthometric (NAVD88) elevations to NAD83 (2011) ellipsoid elevations using the Geoid12b model c. Convert the laz files from UTM Zone 3 (NAD83 2011), meters coordinates to geographic coordinates d. Assign the geokeys, sort the data by gps time and zip the data to database and to AWS S3.
