Original Product: Classified LAZ 1.4 files, formatted to 2,298 individual 750m x 750m tiles covering the NOAA AK Communities 2023 project area. Original Geographic Extent: This dataset and derived products encompass an area covering approximately 286,327 acres of Southwest Alaska. Original Dataset Description: The NOAA AK Communities 2023 Lidar project called for the planning, acquisition, and processing of lidar data collected to Quality Level 1 (QL1) standards. Project specifications are based on the U.S. Geological Survey National Geospatial Program Lidar Base Specification Version 2023, Revision A. The data was developed based on the NAD83 2011 horizontal datum and the NAVD88 Geoid 12b vertical datum. Data was projected in UTM Zone 5N, Meters. Lidar data was delivered as calibrated and classified LAZ 1.4 files. Non-Vegetated Vertical Accuracy (NVA) was assessed using 43 check points located on bare earth in clear, unobstructed areas. Vegetated Vertical Accuracy (VVA) was assessed using 19 check points in Tall Grass, Forest, and Shrub landcover types. Single swath nominal pulse spacing (NPS) was designed to be 0.35 at nadir. Aggregate Nominal Pulse Spacing (ANPS) was calculated to be 0.269 with the Riegl VQ-780ii-S and 0.298 with the Riegl 1560iiS using all valid first return points. Derived products include: Intensity Imagery, Hydro-flattened Bare Earth Digital Elevation Models (DEMs), Maximum Surface Height Rasters (MSHRs), and 3D waters edge breaklines. Ground Condition: Ground conditions contained snow at high elevations and acquisition occurred free of smoke, fog and cloud cover This data set contains point cloud data(' in LAZ (compressed LAS) format', ''). The data may have been reprojected or otherwise modified from the original data in an automated process. Disregard projection information in this abstract and refer to the spatial reference section.
