Fugro EarthData, Inc. (Fugro) was tasked by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) to plan, acquire, process, and produce derivative products of LiDAR data at a nominal pulse spacing (NPS) of 0.7 meters based on the "U.S. Geological Survey National Geospatial Program LiDAR Base Specification Version 1.0". The project area consists of approximately 1,917 square miles and covers York and Lancaster Counties, Pennsylvania. Fugro's approved ID/IQ subcontractor Richard Crouse & Associates, Inc. (RC&A) acquired 148 flight lines in 11 lifts between November 25 and December 27, 2014. LiDAR data collection was performed with a twin engine aircraft, utilizing a Riegl Q-680i sensor; collecting multiple return x, y, and z as well as intensity data. Specialized in-house and commercial software processes the native LiDAR data into 3-dimensional positions that can be imported into GIS software for visualization and further analysis.
Breaklines were delivered with the lidar dataset. These have not been reviewed by NOAA OCM, therefore are only available by request.
This data set is an LAZ (compressed LAS) format file containing LIDAR point cloud data.
