        abstract:  Atlantic was contracted to acquire high resolution topographic LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) data located in Mobile County, Alabama. The intent was to collect one (1) Area of Interest (AOI) that encompasses Mobile County. The total client defined AOI was 1,402 square miles or 3,361 square kilometers. The data were collected from January 12 - 22, 2014. Classifications of data available from NOAA OCM are: 1 (Unclassified, 2 (Ground), 3 (Low Vegetation), 7 (Low Noise), 8 (Model Key Points), 9 (Water), 10 (Ignored Ground, Breakline Proximity). Low vegetation points were removed as they were incorrect and not required for delivery. Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) created from this lidar data are available for download. They are available at: https://coast.noaa.gov/dataviewer/#/lidar/search/where:ID=5169 . Breaklines are available at: https://noaa-nos-coastal-lidar-pds.s3.amazonaws.com/laz/geoid18/4966/supplemental/breaklines Original contact information: Contact Name: Scott Kearney Contact Org: City of Mobile Phone: (251) 208-7942 Email: kearney@cityofmobile.org This data set is an LAZ (compressed LAS) format file containing LIDAR point cloud data.
        purpose:  Mobile County, Alabama requires efficient data to effectively plan and manage county infrastructure. This dataset was developed to support Mobile County. The scope involved the acquisition of USGS Quality Level 2 LiDAR data to be processed, classified to produce a new countywide DEM and one foot elevation contours for the entire 1402 square mile Mobile County Project Area.

                description:  Ground Control This Geodetic Control Survey was conducted to support Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data in accordance with the National Digital Elevation Program (NDEP) and the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) guidelines. A GPS control network was performed for the purposes of establishing a three-dimensional coordinates on each of the base station locations. The control network included a combination of a National Geodetic Survey (NGS) Control Monument (MOB AP STA A1), National Geodetic Survey (NGS) CORS (AL84, AL90, AL92, ALDI, ALM) ,Mobile Control Monuments (MCC1062, MCC1067, MCC1070, MCC1072, MCC1073, MOB1000, MOB1008, MOB1009, MOB1011, MOB1023, MOB1031, MOB1034) and a capped iron found (CIPF). GPS observations at all ground control points in the network were made with Leica System 500 dual frequency GPS-receivers w/ Leica AT502 antenna and a NovAtel DL 4=L1L2 receiver w/ NovAtel NOV702 3.00 antenna between April 30, 2014 and May 2, 2014.

                description:  LIDAR PROCESSING: - LiDAR Calibration:Initial processing of the GPS data was processed using Inertial Explorer. The solution file was generated and ALSPP software was used to generate georeferenced laser returns which were then processed in strip form allowing for the QC of the overlap between strips (lines). The data from each line were combined and automated classification routines run to determine the initial surface model. This initial surface model was then verified to the LiDAR test points. LiDAR Classification: The calibrated LiDAR data was run through automated classification routines and then manually checked. The data was classified into the following classes: 1-unclassified, 2-ground, 3-lowpoints/noise, 9-water

                description:  The NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) received the files in las format from the City of Mobile GIS office. The files contained lidar elevation and intensity measurements. The data were in Alabama State Plane West coordinates (0102, feet) and NAVD88 heights (Geoid12A, feet). OCM performed the following processing for data storage and Digital Coast provisioning purposes: 1. LAS files were compressed to laz format using laszip. 2. Elevation outliers were eliminated, above 2,000 ft and below -50 ft, as these were deemed erroneous. 3. Class 3 (low vegetation) was removed as it was not part of the project specifications, furthermore these points were found to only be located in open water. 4. Reclassified all Class 11 points to Class 15 as this does not match the NOAA OCM classification scheme. 5. Data were converted from Alabama State Plane West coordinates (ft) with NAVD88 heights (ft) to geographic coordinates (decimal degrees) with ellipsoid heights (m).

                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:
