2017 NWFWMD Lidar: Escambia Santa Rosa

NOAA
Airborne Imaging Inc. collected 1440 square miles in the Florida counties of Escambia and Santa Rosa. The nominal pulse spacing for this project was 1 point every 0.7 meters. Dewberry used proprietary procedures to classify the LAS according to project specifications: 0-Never Classified, 1-Unclassified, 2-Ground, 7-Low Noise, 9-Water, 10-Ignored Ground due to breakline proximity, 17- Bridges, 18-High Noise. Dewberry produced 3D breaklines and combined these with the final lidar data to produce seamless hydro flattened DEMs for the project area. The data was formatted according to the USNG tile naming convention with each tile covering an area of 1,500 meters by 1,500 meters. A total of 1,986 tiles were produced for the entire project. The NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) received this data from the Northwest Florida Water Management District and processed the data to the Data Access Viewer (DAV) and https. In addition to these lidar point data, the bare earth Digital Elevation Models (DEM) created from the lidar point data are also available. These data are available for custom download at the link provided in the URL section of this metadata record. Breaklines are also available.
