The data were collected between October 2009 and August 2011. This collection was a joint effort by the NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM); the California State Coastal Conservancy (SCC) Ocean Protection Council (OPC); Scripps Institution of Oceanography; and the Joint Airborne Lidar Bathymetry Technical Center of Expertise (JALBTCX). The data coverage extends landward 500 m from the shoreline, along the entire California coastline. The LAS classifications are as follows: 1-Unclassified, 2-Ground, 7-Noise, 9-Water, 10- Mudflats, 12-Overlap. The LAS points were manually re-classified from water and unclassified to ground in offshore areas where necessary.Bathymetric LiDAR: The bathymetric lidar data used in this merged project was 2009-2010 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Joint Airborne Lidar Bathymetry Center of Expertise (JALBTCX) lidar, provided by JALBTCX. The data were collected for the California Coastal Mapping Project (CCMP). The original data were in ASCII format and were converted to LAS v1.2. The LAS data were classified as follows: 21-Non-submerged Bathymetry, 22-Bathymetry, 23-Ignored Submerged Bathymetry/Overlap.Multibeam Acoustic Data: The acoustic data data used in this merged project were provided by the California Seafloor Mapping Program (CSMP) Ocean Protection Council and NOAA's National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC). The original data were in ASCII format and were converted to LAS v1.2. NOAA's VDatum software was used to vertically transform soundings from mean lower low water (MLLW) tidal datum to NAVD88 orthometric datum where necessary. The LAS data were classified as follows: 25-Submerged Acoustic, 26-Ignored Submerged Acoustic/Overlap.Upon receipt of the data, the NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) converted some of the classifications for data storage and Digital Coast provisioning purposes. The following are the classifications of data available from the NOAA Digital Coast: 1 - Unclassified, 2 - Ground, 7 - Low point (noise), 9 - Water, 11 - Bathymetry, 12 - Overlap, 13 - Submerged Acoustic, 14 - Non-Submerged Bathymetry, 15 - Ignored Submerged Bathymetry/Overlap, 16 - Ignored Submerged Acoustic/Overlap 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 primary purpose is to merge recently collected topographic, bathymetric, and acoustic data along the entire California coastline from approximately the 10 meter elevation contour out to California's 3 mile state water's boundary. The result of this merge is a high resolution point data set containing the best available topographic LiDAR, bathymetric LiDAR, and multibeam acoustic data from various primary data sources. status: (MD_ProgressCode) completed pointOfContact: (CI_ResponsibleParty) organisationName: NOAA Office for Coastal Management contactInfo: (CI_Contact) phone: (CI_Telephone) voice: (843) 740-1202 address: (CI_Address) deliveryPoint: 2234 South Hobson Ave city: Charleston administrativeArea: SC postalCode: 29405-2413 country: (missing) electronicMailAddress: coastal.info@noaa.gov onlineResource: (CI_OnlineResource) linkage: https://coast.noaa.gov protocol: WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link name: NOAA Office for Coastal Management Website description: NOAA Office for Coastal Management Home Page function: (CI_OnLineFunctionCode) information role: (CI_RoleCode) pointOfContact pointOfContact: (CI_ResponsibleParty) organisationName: NOAA Office for Coastal Management contactInfo: (CI_Contact) phone: (CI_Telephone) voice: (843) 740-1202 address: (CI_Address) deliveryPoint: 2234 South Hobson Ave city: Charleston administrativeArea: SC postalCode: 29405-2413 country: (missing) electronicMailAddress: coastal.info@noaa.gov onlineResource: (CI_OnlineResource) linkage: https://coast.noaa.gov protocol: WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link name: NOAA Office for Coastal Management Website description: NOAA Office for Coastal Management Home Page function: (CI_OnLineFunctionCode) information role: (CI_RoleCode) custodian resourceMaintenance: (MD_MaintenanceInformation) maintenanceAndUpdateFrequency: (MD_MaintenanceFrequencyCode) asNeeded graphicOverview: (MD_BrowseGraphic) fileName: https://noaa-nos-coastal-lidar-pds.s3.amazonaws.com/laz/geoid18/2612/supplemental/ca2013_noaa_topobathy_merge_m2612.kmz fileDescription: This graphic shows the lidar coverage for the Coastal California TopoBathy Merge Project. fileType: kmz descriptiveKeywords: (MD_Keywords) keyword: Acoustic keyword: Best Fit keyword: Interpolated Voids keyword: Merge keyword: Multibeam keyword: Smoothed type: (MD_KeywordTypeCode) theme descriptiveKeywords: (MD_Keywords) keyword: Lidar - partner (no harvest) type: (MD_KeywordTypeCode) project thesaurusName: (CI_Citation) title: InPort date: (inapplicable) resourceConstraints: (MD_LegalConstraints) useConstraints: (MD_RestrictionCode) otherRestrictions otherConstraints: Cite As: OCM Partners, [Date of Access]: 2013 NOAA Coastal California TopoBathy Merge Project [Data Date Range], https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/inport/item/49649. resourceConstraints: (MD_Constraints) useLimitation: NOAA provides no warranty, nor accepts any liability occurring from any incomplete, incorrect, or misleading data, or from any incorrect, incomplete, or misleading use of the data.

LiDAR vendors perform calibrations on the LiDAR sensor. LiDAR sources used for this project were existing. Horizontal accuracy testing was not performed. Industry standard calibration procedures used for topographic LiDAR sensors would yield 1 meter horizontal accuracy at the 95% confidence level. For the bathymetric data, the data positions were obtained using post processed KGPS methods. The horizontal accuracy of the data is better than +/- 1.5m RMSE. As multiple acoustic datasets from multiple sources were used, the horizontal accuracy varies. result: (missing) report: (DQ_AbsoluteExternalPositionalAccuracy) nameOfMeasure: Vertical Positional Accuracy evaluationMethodDescription: The vertical accuracy of the LiDAR was not tested by Dewberry. LiDAR sources used for this project were existing. Vertical accuracy testing was not performed by Dewberry. Vertical accuracy of the topographic data is reported at 4.8cm RMSE.

Each data type (topographic, bathymetric, and acoustic) were then tiled individually according to project specifications (1500m x 1500m).Data for the NOAA Coastal California Data Merge Project were provided by various sources. Topographic data were provided by NOAA in LAS format, collected for the California Coastal Mapping Project (CCMP).The topographic data were provided with the following classifications: Class 1 = Unclassified (This class includes vegetation, buildings, noise etc.), Class 2 = Ground, Class 7 = Noise, Class 9 = Water, Class 10 = Mudflats, Class 12 = OverlapBathymetric data were provided by Joint Airborne Bathymetry LiDAR Technical Center of Expertise (JALBTCX) in ASCII format, collected for the National Coastal Mapping Program (NCMP) in 2009. Initial bathymetric data were classified in GeoCue to Class 22 = Submerged bathymetry.Multibeam acoustic data were downloaded from the California Seafloor Mapping Program: Ocean Protection Council (CSMP)(http://seafloor.csumb.edu/SFMLwebDATA.htm), and from NOAA's NGDC (http://maps.ngdc.noaa.gov/viewers/bathymetry/) in ASCII formats, or from USGS open file reports where available. NOAA's VDatum software (version 2.3.5) was used to vertically transform soundings from mean lower low water (MLLW) tidal datum to NAVD88 orthometric datum where necessary. dateTime: DateTime: 2012-12-14T00:00:00 processStep: (LI_ProcessStep) description: Reclassification of Topographic data: Reclassification of offshore islands and pinnacles was a critical component to the success of the final merged product. Tiles within 100m of the coastal shoreline were selected for review and manual classification. Each tile was brought into TerraScan and a temporary surface model was created from the topographic ground points (class 2). Using aerial imagery as a guide, the coastline was examined for any exposed islands that may be incorrectly classified as water in the LAS. Once located, points were reclassified from water (class 9) to ground (class 2) or from unclassified (class 1) to ground. Date for this process step is 20130201-20130412. dateTime: DateTime: 2013-04-12T00:00:00 processStep: (LI_ProcessStep) description: Topographic-Bathymetric Seamline:All breaklines provided by NOAA were merged into a single polygon feature class. This became the foundation of the initial seamline. Areas containing both topographic and bathymetric data along the coastline were reviewed on a tile-by-tile basis using difference rasters. Because the topographic data had better horizontal resolution and vertical accuracy than the bathymetric data, it generally took priority over bathymetric data in overlap areas. However, a smoother transition between the topographic and bathymetric LiDAR datasets may be achieved by modifying the extent of the topographic data in favor of the bathymetric data. In these cases, the breakline was adjusted accordingly. The final polygon feature class was used for reclassification of LAS points in TerraScan. The polygon was converted to a polyline in Arc and clipped to the extent of the coastal shoreline. This final polyline was used as basis for the creation of the DEM smoothing buffers. Date for this process step is 20130222-20130510. dateTime: DateTime: 2013-05-10T00:00:00 processStep: (LI_ProcessStep) description: Acoustic-Acoustic Seamline (Production Block 2b):In surveys with multiple resolutions, the best available resolution data was prioritized and reclassified using TerraScan software. A best fit line was not produced. Between surveys, a best fit line was generated by creating difference rasters and manually digitizing a new boundary. dateTime: DateTime: 2013-02-19T00:00:00 processStep: (LI_ProcessStep) description: Acoustic-Acoustic Seamline (Production Blocks 3 and 4):In bathymetric attributed grid (BAG) surveys with multiple resolutions, the best available resolution data was prioritized and reclassified using TerraScan software. A best fit line was not produced. Between unique surveys, a best fit line was generated by creating difference rasters and manually digitizing a new boundary along areas with minimal offset. Date for this process setp 20130501-20130621. dateTime: DateTime: 2013-06-21T00:00:00 processStep: (LI_ProcessStep) description: Bathymetric-Acoustic Seamline (Production Block 2b): The bathymetric-acoustic seamline was generated using the same methodology as the acoustic overlap seamline. The final polyline was used as basis for the creation of the DEM smoothing buffers. dateTime: DateTime: 2013-02-27T00:00:00 processStep: (LI_ProcessStep) description: Bathymetric-Acoustic Seamline (Production Blocks 3 and 4):The bathymetric-acoustic seamline was generated using the same methodology as the acoustic overlap seamline, using difference rasters and manually digitizing seamlines with minimal offset. The final polyline was used as basis for the creation of the DEM smoothing buffers. The date for this process step is 20130501-20130621. dateTime: DateTime: 2013-06-21T00:00:00 processStep: (LI_ProcessStep) description: Reclassification of Bathymetric data:In areas of overlap where topographic data were given priority over bathymetric data, overlapping bathymetric points were moved to class 21(non-submerged bathymetry). This was performed in TerraScan using the final seamline polygon. A minimum of three (3) data points within a 15m eter radius is required for inclusion in the DEM. An extent polygon is needed to accomplish this task. Topographic ground points (class 2) and bathymetric points (class 22) were converted to a masspoint feature class in Arc. The masspoints were used as the input in the Aggregate Points tool in Arc with a set distance of 15m. After the final extent polygons were generated, class 22 bathymetric points not within these polygons were moved to class 23 in TerraScan. Points outside the extent polygon remained in class 21/22. Finally, to remove above-ground artifacts from the bathymetric data, all class 22 points with elevations above +1m were reassigned to class 21 using an automated process in TerraScan. This removed docks, piers, bridges, and other miscellaneous artifacts from the point cloud. Bathymetric data between 0-1m elevation were left in class 22 to avoid classifying out too many data points in the nearshore areas. Bathymetric elevations between 0-1m were evaluated on a tile-by-tile basis and moved to class 21 if necessary. The date for this process step is 20130304-20130517. dateTime: DateTime: 2013-05-17T00:00:00 processStep: (LI_ProcessStep) description: Reclassification of Acoustic data (Production Block 2b):Each area of the acoustic data was reclassified from the temporary class codes to the final class 25 (submerged multibeam acoustic) and class 26 (acoustic overlap) designations using the polygons generated from the acoustic-acoustic seamline boundaries. Best resolution data was prioritized in multi-resolution surveys. Best fit seamline was used between surveys. dateTime: DateTime: 2013-03-06T00:00:00 processStep: (LI_ProcessStep) description: Reclassification of Acoustic data (Production Blocks 3 and 4):Each area of the acoustic data was reclassified from the temporary class codes to the final class 25 (submerged multibeam acoustic) and class 26 (acoustic overlap) designations. Voids in high resolution acoustic BAG data were filled with available lower resolution BAG data for each acoustic data set. This is an automated process using Fugro proprietary software specially developed for this project. This process results in a merged LAS point cloud for each survey location utilizing the best resolution BAG data. The ignored points were classified as class 26. The same filling process was used in case of NCCMP data for survey locations where data of various acquisition dates were available within a survey. Priority was given to data collected in 2010, following by 2008 and older datasets. Surface subtraction images were generated and utilized to digitize best fit line between overlapping acoustic project data sets. Overlapping acoustic datasets were reclassified and merged based on the best fit line using LAS mosaic software developed by Fugro. The merged point cloud data for each acoustic project was tiled to the project required tiling scheme. The date for this process step is 20130501-20130621. dateTime: DateTime: 2013-06-21T00:00:00 processStep: (LI_ProcessStep) description: Reclassification of Bathymetric data (Production Block 2b):In overlapping areas between acoustic and bathymetric datasets, priority was given to the acoustic dataset due to more efficient coverage and higher resolution where available. With exception of two instances where best fit line was used, the bathymetric-acoustic seamline was represented by geographic extent of class 25. The bathymetric data within this extent was reclassified to class 23. dateTime: DateTime: 2013-03-06T00:00:00 processStep: (LI_ProcessStep) description: Reclassification of Bathymetric data (Production Blocks 3 and 4):In overlapping areas between acoustic and bathymetric datasets, priority was given to the acoustic dataset due to more efficient coverage and higher resolution where available. With exception of two instances where best fit line was used, the bathymetric-acoustic seamline was represented by geographic extent of class 25.
