The data includes topographic data in an LAS format file. The data was collected 31 July - 1 August 2008 on the Kenai Peninsula of Alaska. It has been processed to bare earth using only an automated routine - additional manual editing is required for localized use. The data covers portions of the Outer and Inner Kachemak Bay coastline from Point Anchor to Homer and along the coast into the head of the bay. The data falls in the Kachemak Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve and includes the Fox River Flats Critical Habitat Areas. Original contact information: Contact Org: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Ocean Service (NOS), National Geodetic Survey (NGS), Remote Sensing Division Title: Chief, Remote Sensing Division Phone: 301-713-2663 This lidar was acquired by the NOAA Remote Sensing Division to support NOAA's IOCM initiative. It is not intended for mapping, charting or navigation. In addition, it will be used for ongoing research efforts for testing and developing standards for airborne lidar.

The Applanix POSPac software was utilized for GPS and inertial processing, and Terrasolid software for data visualization, 3D editing and export to final LAS file. Data were processed in NAD83 horizontal and vertical datum. 2008-10-06T00:00:00 National Geodetic Survey processor The NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) received files in LAS format. The files contained LiDAR intensity and elevation measurements. OCM performed the following processing on the data to make it available within Digital Coast: 1. The data were converted from UTM coordinates to geographic coordinates. 2. The LAS header fields were sorted by latitude and updated. 3. The data was filtered to eliminate outliers. 2008-12-07T00:00:00 Acquisition and Processing National Geodetic Survey originator
