This record was created by the NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) because no metadata record or data report were available for the data. Information to create this record was found in the Quantum Spatial (WSI) lidar report. A link to this report is provided in the URL section below. The NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) downloaded this lidar data from the AK DGGS site (https://elevation.alaska.gov/) and processed the data to be available on the Digital Coast Data Access Viewer (DAV). OCM noted that there are many points over water that are classified as ground. OCM processed all points to the Digital Coast Data Access Viewer (DAV). WSI, a Quantum Spatial Company, has completed the acquisition and processing of Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data of the Oregon LiDAR Consortium (OLC) Alaska FEMA Sitka Survey, for the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI). The OLC Alaska FEMA Sitka project area (AOI) encompasses approximately 7,200 acres. Total area flown (TAF) is approximately 9,245 acres. WSI acquired data from May 16 - May 22, 2014. Settings for LiDAR data capture produced an average resolution of at least eight pulses per square meter. This data set is an LAZ (compressed LAS) format file containing LIDAR point cloud data.
