In late March of 2017, Quantum Spatial (QSI) was contracted by the Oregon LiDAR Consortium (OLC) to collect topobathymetric Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data in the early spring of 2017 for the New River, OR site along the southwestern Oregon coast. The area of interest stretches along New River, which runs parallel with the Oregon coast. Data were collected to aid OLC in assessing the topographic and geophysical properties of the study area along the river?s course. The horizontal datum for this dataset is NAD83 (2011), the vertical datum is NAVD88, Geoid 12A, and the data is projected in UTM Zone 10 North. Units are in Meters. Quantum Spatial collected the New River, OR Topobathymetric LiDAR data for the Oregon LiDAR Consortium on 04/04/17.
NOAA's Office for Coastal Management received the associated LAZ files from OLC and processed them to the Digital Coast's Data Access Viewer, converting to geographic projection and ellipsoidal heights. A bare-earth digital elevation model was also received and is available, see the Related Items section, below.
This data set is an LAZ (compressed LAS) format file containing LIDAR point cloud data.
