        abstract:  This task order is for planning, acquisition, processing, and derivative products of lidar data to be collected for an area over Eklutna Glacier in the Chugach Mountains of Alaska. Lidar data, and derivative products produced in compliance with this task order are part of the data to be obtained under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act degrees (ARRA) of 2009. Specifications listed below are based on the US Geological Survey National Geospatial Program Base Lidar Specification, Version 12. This data set is an LAZ (compressed LAS) format file containing LIDAR point cloud data.
        purpose:  The Eklutna Glacier LiDAR project was carried out to provide high accuracy bare-earth processed LiDAR data suitable for the approximately 160 square miles of the project area. This delivery includes classified LiDAR data in LAS 1.2 format. The following classification scheme is utilized: Class 1: Default - processed points, but unclassified Class 2: Ground Class 7: Noise Class 9: Water Class 10: Ignored Ground (breakline proximity) The project consisted of acquisition, post-processing, and classification of LiDAR data. The LiDAR data was collected at a nominal point spacing of 1.939 meters throughout the project area. Vertical accuracy was to achieve a RMSE Z of 15cm (95% confidence level of less than 30cm) or better in the "Open Terrain" land cover category. Accuracy statement is based on the area of moderate to flat terrain. Diminished accuracies are to be expected in areas in dense vegetation. The accuracy of the LiDAR data as tested met the vertical accuracy or better, however, derived products may be less accurate in areas of dense vegetation due to a lesser number of points defining the bare-earth in these areas.

                description:  The LiDAR data was captured using AERO-METRIC's twin-engine, fixed wing aircraft equipped with a LiDAR system. The LiDAR system includes a differential GPS unit and inertial measurement system to provide superior accuracy. Acquisition parameters: 1. Scanner - Optech ALTM Gemini 2. Flight Height - 3000m above mean terrain 3. Scan Angle - 15 degrees 4. Sidelap - 40% for both areas 5. Nominal Post Spacing - 1.939 meters GPS and IMU processing parameters: 1. Processing Programs and version - Applanix - POSGPS and POSProc, versions 4.4 2. Maximum baseline length - Not greater than 40km. 3. IMU processing monitored for consistency and smoothness - Yes. Point Cloud Processing: 1. Program and version - Optech LMS 2. Horizontal Datum - NAD83(CORS96) 3. Horizontal Coordinates - Universal Transverse Mercator, Zone 6, in Meters. 4. Vertical Datum - NAVD88 5. Geoid Model used to reduce ellipsoid heights to orthometric elevations - NGS Geoid09. LIDAR Processing: 1. Processing Programs and versions - TerraSolid TerraScan (version 009.004), TerraModeler (version 009.001 and TerraMatch (version 009.001) and Intergraph MicroStation (version.08.01.02.15). 2. Point Cloud data is imported to TerraScan in a Microstation V8 (V) CAD environment on a specified 5000 foot by 5000 foot tiling scheme. 3. Analyze the data for overall completeness and consistency. This is to ensure that there are no voids in the data collection. 4. Inspect for calibration errors in the dataset using the TerraMatch software. This is accomplished by sampling the data collected across all flight lines and classifying the individual lines to ground. The software will use the ground-classified lines to compute corrections (Heading, Pitch, Roll, and Scale). 5. Orientation corrections (i.e. Calibration corrections) are then applied (if needed) to the entire dataset. 6. Automatic ground classification is performed using algorithms with customized parameters to best fit the project area. Several areas of varying relief and planimetric features were inspected to verify the final ground surface. 7. AERO-METRIC, INC. provided Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QAQC) data for this project. AERO-METRIC captured QA/QC points in 'open terrain' land cover category that were used to test the accuracy of the LiDAR ground surface. TerraScan's Output Control Report (OCR) was used to compare the QAQC data to the LIDAR data. This routine searches the LIDAR dataset by X and Y coordinate, finds the closest LIDAR point and compares the vertical (Z) values to the known data collected in the field. Based on the QAQC data, a bias adjustment was determined, and the results were applied to the LIDAR data. A final OCR was performed with a resulting RMSE of 0.10m. 8. Once the automatic processing and the testing of LiDAR is complete, AERO-METRIC meticulously reviews the generated bare-earth surface data to insure that proper classification was achieved as part of a Quality Control process. 9. Final deliverables are generated and output to a 3000m by 3000m tiling scheme in accordance with client specifications.

                description:  The NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) received the files in laz format via an FTP online repository. The files contained lidar elevation and intensity measurements. The data were in UTM Zone 6, NAVD88 (orthometric) heights in meters. OCM performed the following processing for data storage and Digital Coast provisioning purposes: 1. The data were converted from UTM coordinates to geographic coordinates. 2. The data were converted from NAVD88 (orthometric) heights in meters to GRS80 (ellipsoid) heights in meters using Geoid 09. 3. The LAS data were sorted by latitude and the headers were updated. 4. Erroneous elevations were removed.

                description:   The vertical values in this data set have been converted to reference North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88) (GEOID12B) meters, using the GEOID12B grids provided by the National Geodetic Survey. Any datum and projection transformations were then done with the Office for Coastal Management 'datum_shift' program. Compression to an LAZ file was done with the LAStools 'laszip' program and can be unzipped with the same free program (laszip.org) Processing notes:
