        abstract:  The University of Alaska Fairbanks, Geographic Information Network of Alaska (UAF/GINA) provided Aero-Metric, Inc. (AeroMetric) and Watershed Sciences, Inc. (WSI) with detailed specifications for this project in the spring of 2013. Planning and acquisition of airborne LiDAR data was carried out by WSI in early May of 2013. This delivery contains point cloud data in LAS 1.2 format classified in the following manner: Class 1: Unclassified Class 2: Bare Earth Ground Class 3: Low Vegetation (vegetation within 12 inches of the ground surface) Class 4: Medium Vegetation (vegetation greater than 12 inches, but less than 36 inches above the ground surface) Class 5: High Vegetation (vegetation greater than 36 inches above the ground surface) Class 6: Buildings Class 7: Noise Class 8: Ground Model Keypoints Class 9: Water Class 10: Breakline Proximity Class 14: Bridge Decks The following are the collection parameters and equipment used to create these data sets: Aircraft: Cessna Caravan (N604MD) LiDAR System: Leica ALS60 Approximate Collection Altitude (Above Mean Terrain): 900 meters Ground Speed: 160 kts Pulse Rate Frequency: 98-106 kHz Mirror Scan Frequency: 66 Hz Scan Angle (+/-): 14 degrees Accuracy statements are based on areas of moderate terrain, with points classified as ground. Diminished accuracies are to be expected in areas of extreme terrain and dense vegetation. 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. The NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) downloaded this lidar data from the AK DGGS site (https://elevation.alaska.gov/) and processed the data to be available on the Digital Coast Data Access Viewer (DAV). OCM processed all points to the Digital Coast Data Access Viewer (DAV). This data set is an LAZ (compressed LAS) format file containing LIDAR point cloud data.
        purpose:  The purpose of this data set is to provide LiDAR-derived topographic data for transportation planning and road construction.

                description:  The NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) downloaded 32 laz files from the Alaska Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys data Portal (https://elevation.alaska.gov/). The files contained classified elevation and intensity measurements for the 2013 Vallenar Bay data set. The data were in Alaska State Plane, Zone 5001 coordinates (NAD83 2011, US survey feet) and NAVD88 elevations (GEOID12A) in feet. The data were classified: Class 1: Unclassified, Class 2: Bare-earth ground, Class 3: Low vegetation, Class 4: Medium Vegetation, Class 5: High Vegetation, Class 6_ Buildings, Class 7: Noise, Class 8: Ground Model Keypoints, Class 9: Water, Class 10: Breakline Proximity, Class 14: Bridge Decks. Low vegetation is defined in the report as vegetation within 12 inches of the ground surface, medium vegetation as vegetation greater than 12 inches, but less than 36 inches above the ground surface and high vegetation as vegetation greater than 36 inches above the ground surface. OCM processed all points to the Digital Coast Data Access Viewer (DAV). OCM performed the following processing on the data for Digital Coast storage and provisioning purposes: 1. The LAStools software scripts lasinfo and lasvalidate were run on the laz files to check for errors. 2. An internal OCM script was run to check the number of points by classification and by flight ID and the gps times and intensity ranges. 3. Internal OCM scripts were run on the laz files to convert from Alaska State Plane, Zone 5001 coordinates to geographic coordinates, to convert from NAVD88 elevations to ellipsoid elevations using the GEOID12A model, to convert from feet to meters, to assign the geokeys, to assign a lidar domain profile, to sort the data by gps time and zip the data to database and to http.

                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:
