U.S. Coastal Lidar Elevation Data - Including The Great Lakes And Territories, 1996 - Present

Many different partners and groups, and several Center-led data projects, have contributed to the lidar data collection housed and distributed by the NOAA Office for Coastal Management. The data span more than two decades and were collected using many different sensors. The collection includes data from topographic and bathymetric lidar sensors. Data are available for all of the coastal states and range from shoreline strips to full county coverage. The products have been delivered to the Center in various formats, projections, datums, and units. Once received, the data are reviewed, checked for errors, and standardized to LAZ format, geographic coordinates and ellipsoid heights in meters. Data are on a NAD83 or ITRF realization depending upon the collection specifics.
