        abstract:  This dataset includes LiDAR data collected in April 2010 at a nominal pulse spacing of 1.2 meters for all of Brown County, Wisconsin and a portion of neighboring Oconto County. The dataset includes the raw point clouds, classified point clouds, and bare earth point cloud as well as derivative products including the DTM (Digital Terrain Model), DEM (Digital Elevation Model), Hydro-Flattened DEM, and 2’ contours. The specifications of this project are based on the Base LiDAR Specification, Version 12, as set forth by the US Geological Survey: National Geospatial Program. Quality Assurance procedures conducted by the Brown County Surveyor in Fall of 2010 showed that the “bare earth” terrain model had an RMSE Z of 0.207 feet (6.3 cm) and the NSSDA Accuracy (Z) is 0.405(12.3 cm). The NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) downloaded the laz files from this USGS site ftp://rockyftp.cr.usgs.gov/vdelivery/Datasets/Staged/Elevation/LPC/Projects/ARRA-WI_BrownCo_2010 and processed the data to the Data Access Viewer (DAV) and to https. This data set is an LAZ (compressed LAS) format file containing LIDAR point cloud data.
        purpose:  The purpose of this dataset is to provide detailed, accurate elevation data for inclusion in the USGS National Map as well as the Brown County Geographic Information System (GIS). These data will be disseminated and used to support a wide array of applications including FEMA floodplain mapping, storm water management, transportation and communication infrastructure planning, construction planning & 3D visualization, environmental protection, wetland & habitat restoration, pollution abatement, and renewable energy development.

            evaluationMethodDescription:  The contractor reported a Fundamental Vertical Accuracy (FVA) of the Classified Bare Earth for the Brown County project achieved 0.604 feet at a 95% confidence level in the "Open Terrain" land cover category. 521 control points were used in this evaluation by the contractor. Brown County performed its own Quality Assurance procedure: GNSS observations were made on October 8,9 and 10, 2010 by Brown County Surveyor Patrick Ford and Anthony Huberty, RLS. A Trimble R8 GNSS Model 3 rover receiver and TSC2 Survey Controller linked to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation Virtual Reference Network was used. Including check points and other points of value, 93 points were observed over the 3 days. The survey style was set to “Topo” for the point observations with the tolerances set at 0.006m (0.02’) horizontal and 0.009m (0.03’) vertical and points were occupied until enough data had been collected to satisfy the minimum requirements. No unusual events were recorded during any of the observations. Trimble Geomatics Office software was used to download the GNSS observations. O points were flagged as having RMS outside tolerances. There were no calibrations or adjustments made to the GNSS observations. Experience has shown that observations made with the Virtual Reference System do not typically produce horizontal errors greater than +/- 0.15’ and limited vertical work showed differences from the Federal bench marks in the +/- 0.07 magnitude. ArcMap was used to combine the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) points with the LiDAR data. The “Identify” tool was set to identify data on visible layers, the GNSS points were picked and the elevations returned from the Brown County LiDAR Terrain layer were captured. An Excel spreadsheet for determining the Vertical Accuracy was downloaded form the Federal Geodetic Data Committee (FGDC) and was populated with the elevations from the LiDAR terrain data and the elevations obtained in the GNSS observations. Elevations were entered in feet to the nearest 0.01 feet. All data entered into the spreadsheet was double-checked for accuracy. The resulting RMSE(z) is 0.207 ft and the NSSDA (Z) accuracy is 0.405 ft. For a 2 foot contour interval “ASPRS Guidelines Vertical Accuracy Reporting for LiDAR Data” requires an RMSE(z) of 0.61 and an NSSDA(z) of 1.19, so this data clearly meets the specifications of the project.

Geoid Model used to reduce satellite derived elevations to orthometric heights - NGS Geoid09. LIDAR Processing: 1. Processing Programs and versions - TerraSolid TerraScan (version 010.017), TerraModeler (version 010.005 and TerraMatch (version 010.011) and Intergraph MicroStation (version.08.05.02.55). 2. Point Cloud data is imported to TerraScan in a Microstation V8 (V) CAD environment on a specified 5000 foot by 5000 foot tiling scheme. 3. Analyze the data for overall completeness and consistency. This is to ensure that there are no voids in the data collection. 4. Inspect for calibration errors in the dataset using the TerraMatch software. This is accomplished by sampling the data collected accross all flight lines and classify the idividual lines to ground. The software will use the ground-classified lines to compute corrections (Heading, Pitch, Roll, and Scale). 5. Orientation corrections (i.e. Calibration corrections) are then applied (if needed) to the entire dataset. 6. Automatic and manual ground classification is performed using algorithms with customized parameters to best fit the project area. 7. The Ayres/Aerometric team captured QA/QC points in 'open terrian' land cover category that were used to test the accuracy of the LiDAR ground surface. TerraScan's Output Control Report (OCR) was used to compare the QAQC data to the LIDAR data. This routine searches the LIDAR dataset by X and Y coordinate, finds the closest LIDAR point and compares the vertical (Z) values to the known data collected in the field. Based on the QAQC data, a bias adjustment was determined, and the results were applied to the LIDAR data. A final OCR was performed with a resulting RMSE of 0.308 ft for the project. 8. Once the automatic processing and testing of LiDAR is complete, the bare-earth surface data was closely inspected to insure that proper classification was achieved as part of a Quality Control process. 9. Final deliverables are generated and output to a client specified PLSS tiling scheme.

                description:  The NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) downloaded 573 laz files from ftp://rockyftp.cr.usgs.gov/vdelivery/Datasets/Staged/Elevation/LPC/Projects/ARRA-WI_BrownCo_2010 The files contained elevation and intensity measurements for the Brown County, WI project area. The data were in WI County Reference System, Brown County, NAD83 HARN, US survey feet coordinates and NAVD88 (Geoid09) elevations in feet. The data were classified as: 1 - Unclassified, 2 - Ground, 7 - Noise, 8 - Model Key Points, 9 - Water, 10 - Ignored Ground. The NOAA Office for Coastal Management processed all classifications of points to the Digital Coast Data Access Viewer (DAV). Classes available on the DAV are: 1, 2, 7, 8, 9, 10. OCM performed the following processing on the data for Digital Coast storage and provisioning purposes: 1. An internal OCM script was run to check the number of points by classification and by flight ID and the gps and intensity ranges. 2. Internal OCM scripts were run on the laz files to convert from orthometric (NAVD88) elevations to ellipsoid elevations using the Geoid 09 model, to convert from WI County Reference System, Brown County, NAD83 HARN, US survey feet coordinates to geographic coordinates, to convert from elevations in feet to meters, to assign the geokeys, to sort the data by gps time and zip the data to database and to http.

                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:
