There was no metadata record provided with this dataset. The Office for Coastal Management created this record from information in the data report. This dataset includes LiDAR data collected April 17, 2010 at a nominal pulse spacing of 1.2 meters for a portion of Oconto County. The dataset included the raw point clouds, classified point clouds, and bare earth point cloud as well as derivative products including the DTM (Digital Terrain Model), DEM (Digital Elevation Model), Hydro-Flattened DEM, and 2? contours. The specifications of this project are based on the Base LiDAR Specification, Version 12, as set forth by the US Geological Survey: National Geospatial Program. Aerometric, Inc. in conjunction with Ayres Associates acquired accurate Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data for two areas within Oconto County, Wisconsin. Using Aerometric?s ALTM Gemini LiDAR system, data was collected at 1700 meters above ground level along 17 pre-planned flight lines at a pulse rate of 70,000 points per second. Airborne GPS and IMU trajectories for the LiDAR sensor were also acquired during the time of flight. The NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) downloaded the laz files from this USGS site ftp://rockyftp.cr.usgs.gov/vdelivery/Datasets/Staged/Elevation/LPC/Projects/ARRA-WI_OcontoCo_2010 and processed the data to the Data Access Viewer (DAV) and to https. This data set is an LAZ (compressed LAS) format file containing LIDAR point cloud data.
