No metadata record for this data set was provided to the NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM). This record was created with information from the data report. A link to the data report is provided in the URL section of this metadata record. LiDAR data acquisition occurred between July and October 2016. The Atlantic Group, LLC (Atlantic) successfully completed lidar acquisition for the Fremont-Winema, Willamette, Deschutes, and Umpqua National Forests areas of interest (AOI) through one thousand six hundred and thirty-five (1,635) passes of the AOI as a series of perpendicular and/or adjacent flight lines. The flight plan included zigzag flight line collection as a result of the inherent IMU drift associated with all IMU systems. Differential GPS unit in aircraft recorded sample positions at 2 Hz or more frequency. Lidar data was only acquired when GPS PDOP was ? 4 and at least 6 satellites were in view.Atlantic lidar sensors are calibrated at a designated site located at the Fayetteville Municipal Airport (FYM) in Fayetteville, TN and are periodically checked and adjusted to minimize corrections at project sites. This metadata record describes the Deschutes project areas within the Deschutes National Forest, which is a subset of the larger collection. This data set is an LAZ (compressed LAS) format file containing LIDAR point cloud data.
