Under this task order, Precision Aerial Reconnaissance, LLC was contracted to provide acquisition and processing of airborne Lidar over St. Charles Parish, Louisiana. Airborne Lidar was captured to provide digital elevation models, lidar intensity imagery and contours for the project area. The NOAA Office for Coastal Management received the data for processing to the Digital Coast. This metadata record describes the lidar point data. In addition to the lidar point data, bare earth Digital Elevation Models (DEMs), at a 2 ft grid spacing, created from the lidar point data are also available. These data are available for download here: https://coast.noaa.gov/dataviewer/#/lidar/search/where:ID=6353 The DEM products have not been reviewed by the NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) and any conclusions drawn from the analysis of this information are not the responsibility of NOAA, OCM or its partners.
