NOAA
Lidar based surface elevation data collection project in WOH (NYSDEP), collected in 2009. Products generated include LiDAR point data in LAS Binary format v1.1. The final LiDAR LAS 1.1 was created in UTM Zone 18 North, referenced to NAD83 and NAVD 88, in meters. The final LiDAR DEM was verified against FEMA checkpoints in order to perform a redundency check against the GPS solutions. These accuracy checks also verified that the data meets the guidelines outlined in FEMA's Guidelines and Specifications for Flood Hazard Mapping Partners and Appendix 4B, Airborne Light Detection and Ranging Systems. The areas of interest were flown at an altitude of 1200 meters (3937 feet) above mean terrain. Airspeed - 120 knots, Laser Pulse Rate - 50,000 Hz, Full Field of View - 60 degrees, Scane Rate - 32 Hz, Swath Width - 1300 meters. This data set is an LAZ (compressed LAS) format file containing LIDAR point cloud data.
