      <gmd:abstract>
        <gco:CharacterString>These files contain topographic and bathymetric lidar data collected by the Compact Hydrographic Airborne Rapid Total
Survey (CHARTS) system along the west coast of Michigan from Berrien County to Leelanau County, along the Lake Michigan
coastline from 28 July - 16 Sept 2008. Lidar intensity data was also collected.

CHARTS integrates topographic and bathymetric lidar sensors, a digital camera and a hyperspectral scanner on a
single remote sensing platform for use in coastal mapping and charting activities. Data coverage generally extends along the
coastline from the waterline inland 500 meters (topography) and offshore 1,000 meters or to laser extinction (bathymetry).
The topographic lidar sensor has a pulse repetition rate of 9 kHz at 1064 nm (near-infrared wavelength). The bathymetric lidar
sensor has a pulse repetition rate of 1 kHz at 532 nm (green wavelength). Native lidar data is not generally in a format accessible
to most Geographical Information Systems (GIS). Specialized in-house and commercial software packages are used to process the native
lidar data into 3-dimensional positions that can be imported into GIS software for visualization and further analysis. Horizontal
positions, provided in decimal degrees of latitude and longitude, are referenced to the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83).
Vertical positions are referenced to the NAD83 ellipsoid and provided in meters.

                <gco:CharacterString>These data were collected using the CHARTS system. It is owned by the Naval Oceanographic Office and operated through contract.
The system collects topographic lidar data at 9kHz, bathymetric lidar data at 1kHz and RGB imagery at 1Hz. A CASI-1500 hyperspectral
line scanner is integrated with the system as well. Aircraft position, velocity and acceleration information are collected through a
combination of Novatel and POS A/V 410 equipment. All raw data streams are transferred to the office for downloading and processing in
SHOALS GCS software. Aircraft position data are processed using POSPac software and the results are combined with the lidar data to
produce 3-D positions for each lidar shot. Upon inspection and QA/QC in the software packages Fledermaus and PFM_ABE, anomalous data
are flagged as invalid. PFM_ABE's chartsLAS module then converts all valid data from ellipsoid to orthometric heights based on
the NGS' GEOID03 model and exports data as a series of first return topography (TF), last return topography (TL) and bathymetry (H)
ASCII files. The bathymetry files contain all of the returns from the bathymetric sensor which include returns both above and below
the water.
The National Geodetic Survey's (NGS) GEOID03 model was used to transform the vertical positions from ellipsoid to orthometric heights
referenced to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88). The 3-D position data were sub-divided into a series of ASCII file
products, with each covering approximately 5 kilometers of shoreline. The file index was provided by the shape file,
"mi_michigan_boxes.shp", and the numbers used to identify files are in the "Box" field of the shape file. The data file naming
convention is based on the year, project, area name, "Box" number and product type (topographic or bathymetric). An example file
name is "2008_NCMP_MI_Michigan_07_ASCII", where 2008 is the year of data collection, NCMP is the project under which data were
collected, MI_Michigan is the area of data collection, 07 is the "Box" number and ASCII is the product type. The ASCII columns
are Longitude, Latitude, UTM Zone, Easting, Northing, Elevation (orthometric), Elevation (ellipsoid), Date, Time, and Intensity.</gco:CharacterString>

                <gco:CharacterString>The NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) received topo and hydro files in ASCII format. The files contained
LiDAR elevation and intensity measurements. The points were classed as 'never classified.' The data were provided in Geographic
coordinates and ellipsoidal heights and in orthometric heights. OCM performed the following processing to the ellipsoidal height
data to make it available within the Digital Coast:
1. LASEdit was used to convert the ASCII formatted files to las format.
2. The hydro points classification was changed from 'never classified' to class 11, 'bathymetry'. The topo points classification remains
as class 0, 'never classified'.
3. The LAS data were sorted by latitude and the headers were updated.</gco:CharacterString>

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 (https://rapidlasso.de/laszip/)
