        abstract:  This data set consisted of the planning, acquisition, survey, processing and deliverable creation for 42 counties in Minnesota which include: Olmsted, Wabasha, Goodhue, St. Louis, Fillmore, Pine, Kanabec, Morrison, Mille Lacs, Waseca, Blue Earth, Steele, Dodge, Nicollet, Sibley, Freeborn, Faribault, Mower, Isanti, Anoka, Ramsey, Dakota, Wright, Scott, Washington, Rice, Hennepin, Le Sueur, Carver, Benton, Sherburne, Chisago, Koochiching, Itasca, Crow Wing, Aitkin, Carlton, Winona, Houston, Cook, and Lake. The tiling scheme was provided by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and is from the USGS 16th 1:24,000 quadrangle tiles. This data set is classified according to ASPRS specifications. Not all counties contain all classes. The classes are as follow: Class 0: Never Classified Class 1: Unclassified Class 2: Ground Class 3: Low Vegetation Class 4: Medium Vegetation Class 5: High Vegetation Class 6: Buildings Class 7: Low Points (Noise) Class 8: Model Key-points Class 9: Water Class 10: Ignored Ground (Breakline Proximity) Class 11: Scan Edge Class 12: Overlap The dates of collection for each data set are as follows: -Pine County: 10/25/2006 - 11/6/2006 -Chisago County: 04/18/2007 - 04/28/2007 -Crow Wing County: 2008 -Wright County: 04/23/2008 - 05/28/2008 -Southeast: 11/18/2008 - 12/28/2008 Wabasha County, Winona County, Houston County, Olmsted County, Fillmore County, Dodge County, Mower County, Freeborn County, Steele County, Rice County -Red River Basin: 4/19/2008 - Spring 2010 Le Sueur County, Waseca County, Faribault County, Sibley County, Nicollet County -Arrowhead: 05/03/2011 - 06/02/2011 Cook County, Lake County, St. Louis County, Carlton County -Twin Cities Metro: Spring/Fall 2011, Spring 2012 Morrison County, Mille Lacs County, Kanabec County, Benton County, Isanti County, Anoka County, Sherburne County, Hennepin County, Ramsey County, Washington County, Dakota County, Carver County, Goodhue County, Scott County -Central Lakes Region: Spring 2012 Aitkin County -Blue Earth County: 04/06/2012 This data set is an LAZ (compressed LAS) format file containing LIDAR point cloud data.
        purpose:  Various companies were hired to acquire highly accurate Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, International Water Institute, United States Department of Agricultural Natural Resources Conservation Service, Chisago County Surveyors Office, Wright County, and Crow Wing County. This lidar data set is a compilation of 10 seperate lidar contracts which include 42 Minnesota Counties with a total area of approximately 31,708 square miles.

Diminished accuracies are to be expected in areas of 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 NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) downloaded topographic files in .laz format from Minnesota's website in May, 2012 . The files contained lidar elevation measurements. The data were received in UTM Zone 15N, NAD83 coordinates and were vertically referenced to NAVD88 using the appropriate Geoid03 or Geoid09. The vertical units of the data were meters. OCM performed the following processing for data storage and Digital Coast provisioning purposes: 1. The topographic laz files were converted from a Projected Coordinate System (UTM Zone 15N) to a Geographic Coordinate system (NAD 83). 2. The topographic laz files' horizontal units were converted from meters to decimal degrees. 3. The topographic laz files' were converted from NAVD88 elevations to NAD83 ellipsoidal elevations using Geoid03 (Southeast, Red River Basin,Crow Wing County,Wright County, Chisago County, Pine County) or Geoid09 (Blue Earth County,Central Lakes,Twin Cities Metro,Arrowhead). 4. If Classes 13, 17, 18 (Unknown) existed in the data, they were converted to Class 0 (Never Classified). 5. If Classes 14, 15 (Bridges) existed in the data, they were converted to Class 1 (Unclassified).

                description:   The vertical values in this data set have been converted to reference North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88) (GEOID18) meters, using the GEOID18 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:
