        abstract:  NOAA contracted with Spencer B. Gross, Inc. (SBG) to obtain airborne Lidar of Willapa Bay, Washington during low tide conditions. The Lidar data was processed to deliver topographic surface elevation data of the exposed intertidal flats and surrounding terrestrial areas. Original contact information: Contact Org: NOAA Office for Coastal Management Phone: 843-740-1202 Email: coastal.info@noaa.gov This data set is an LAZ (compressed LAS) format file containing LIDAR point cloud data.
        purpose:  The elevation data will be used to investigate the impacts of invasive species on the local ecology.

        supplementalInformation:  The tide patterns of Willapa Bay required that the project area be divided into three sections, and Lidar flights had to be flown in an East/West orientation to capture the low, low tide conditions. As the tidal waters moved throughout the Bay, flights were completed according to tide data provided by the University of California - Davis (Evolution & Ecology Dept.). Flights were completed during all acceptable periods - day or night.

            evaluationMethodDescription:  Independent ground control points were acquired using static GPS methods in flat open areas throughout the project area. These points were estimated to have a vertical accuracy of 0.02m. The processed lidar data were compared to ground control points within the project. Lidar points surrounding the x-y of each ground control point were located. A triangulated irregular network (TIN) model was created and a z value was interpolated. The interpolated Lidar z value at ground control x-y was compared to the ground control z. The mean elevation difference for all comparison was used to estimate and remove an elevation bias within the Lidar data. The elevation bias was determined to be 0.137m. Removal of the bias resulted in a RMSE of 0.128m. Processing steps (datum conversion, projection, grid interpolation, etc.) introduce additional error factors which have not been tested and factored into the reported error.

Lidar flown with an ADS40, Leica Geosystems Lidar system, February 2002 model. The flight consisted of 71 E/W flight lines with 2 N/S cross flight lines for data calibration purposes: 800 flight line miles covering 274 square miles. For each lift, 2 flight lines were flown at the Astoria, OR airport for system calibration purposes.

                description:  The raw lidar data was checked for complete coverage following each mission and at the end of the flights. The data was pre-processed using SBG software to correctly establish the position of each x-y-z point. The data was checked again for completeness and conformance to specifications by comparisons to ground surveyed points. The Lidar data was post-processed using a customized version of TerraSolid software and bare earth terrain models were developed.

                description:  The post-processed data from Spencer B. Gross were delivered in Washington State Plane (South) projection referenced to NAD27 with vertical elevations in US survey feet referenced to NGVD29. The data were converted to geographic coordinates using General Cartographic Transformation Program software developed by the United States Geological Survey. The data were then transformed to NAD83 using NADCON grids from the National Geodetic Survey (NGS). A final datum transformation was performed to convert vertical elevations referenced to NGVD29 to NAVD88 using NGS VERTCON grids. A comparison of the lidar data to a ground truth data set indicated a 0.137m bias, which was removed. The data were then converted to a binary format and loaded into the Lidar Data Retrieval Tool (LDART) database.
