This means that each cell (pixel) represents an area of 1 meter squared.
The Oahu, Hawaii Elevation Data Task Order involves collecting and delivering topographic elevation point data derived from multiple return light detection and ranging (LiDAR) measurements on the island of Oahu in Hawaii. The Statement of Work (SOW) for the area covering the northern 2/3 of Oahu was developed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Office for Coastal Management. A separate but related task order was issued by the USGS National Geospatial Technical Operations Center (NGTOC), under their Geospatial Products and Services Contract (GPSC), to leverage the same resources committed to the NOAA LiDAR project for the acquisition of LiDAR data in the southern 1/3 portion of Oahu. The combined task orders yielded one study area covering the entire island of Oahu. The data collected for the island of Oahu will exhibit Hydro Flattened DEMs for inclusion into the NED. The purpose of the data is for use in coastal management decision making, including applications such as flood plain mapping and water rights management. The point density for this data set was specified in the SOW at 1.15 pts/m2. The NOAA Office for Coastal Management tested the NPS (nominal pulse spacing) for this data set in April 2015. The NPS was determined to be 0.84 m. The data used in the NPS determination were the first returns of classes 1,2,9, and 10.
The U.S. Geological Survey in collaboration with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL) collected topographic LiDAR surveys of four rivers in Alaska from July 24-26, 2019 to support research related to remote sensing of river discharge. Data were acquired for the Knik, Matanuska, Chena, Salcha, Tanana and Susitna Rivers using a Riegl VQ-580 LiDAR. The LiDAR was installed on a Robinson R44 Raven helicopter in a HeliPod that was designed and operated by CRREL. The LiDAR data included as part of this release include: a bare earth digital elevation model (DEM) in GeoTiff format and lidar point files in laz format for each river surveyed. Additionally, CRREL reports for each river surveyed are included as part of this data release. Several imagery data sets were collected coincident with the lidar surveys but will be part of a separate data release.
U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) scientists conducted field data collection efforts between October 25th and 31st, 2020 at several sites in eastern Iowa using high accuracy surveying technologies. The work was initiated as an effort to validate commercially acquired topographic light detection and ranging (lidar) data that was collected between December 7th, 2019 and November 19th, 2020 using wide area mapping lidar systems for the USGS 3D Elevation Program (3DEP). The goal was to compare and validate the airborne lidar data to topographic, structural, and infrastructural data collected through more traditional means (e.g., Global Navigational Satellite System (GNSS) surveying). Evaluating these data will provide valuable information on the performance of wide area topographic lidar mapping capabilities that are becoming more widely used in 3DEP. The airborne lidar was collected to support the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) High Resolution Elevation Enterprise Program and the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship Iowa Flood Plain Program, in addition to the 3DEP mission. The data contained within this particular release are comprised of conventional survey (i.e. total station and GNSS) and ground based lidar data.
The Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data set is a survey of Alameda County in Northern California. The entire survey covers approximately 868.382 square miles. The Nominal Point Density of this dataset is approximately 1.66 meters for unobscured areas.

In 2021, a complete airborne LiDAR survey of the Northern Ireland coastline was commissioned as part of the NI 3D Coastal Survey, providing precise and accurate data of the current coastal morphology.The survey included the intertidal area and extended approximately 200 meters landward of the high-water mark.This is the Digital Terrain Model derived from the LiDAR data collected.
These files contain classified topographic and bathymetric lidar data as unclassified valid topographic data (1), valid topographic data classified as ground (2), Invalid topographic data classified as lowpoints (7), validtopographic data acquired with the bathymetric sensor (14), invalid topographic and bathymetric data (17). Classes 1 and 2 are defined in accordance with the American Society for Photogrammetryand Remote Sensing (ASPRS) classification standards, while classes 14 and 17 are classes specific to NOAA CSC. These data were collected by the Compact Hydrographic Airborne Rapid Total Survey (CHARTS) systemalong the coast of Mississippi. CHARTS integrates topographic and bathymetric lidar sensors, a digital camera and a hyperspectral imager on a single remote sensing platform for use in coastal mapping and charting activities.Data coverage generally extends along the coastline from the waterline inland 500 meters (topography) and offshore 1,000 meters or to laser extinction (bathymetry). Native lidar data is not generally in a format accessible tomost Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Specialized in-house and commercial software packages are used to process the native lidar data into 3-dimensional positions that can be imported into GIS software for visualizationand further analysis. Horizontal positions, provided in decimal degrees of latitude and longitude, are referenced to the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83). Vertical positions are referenced to the NAD83 ellipsoid and providedin meters. The National Geodetic Survey's (NGS) GEOID03 model is used to transform the vertical positions from ellipsoid to orthometric heights referenced to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88). The 3-D positiondata are sub-divided into a series of LAS files, each covering approximately 5 kilometers of shoreline. The format of the file is LAS version 1.2. Data for Louisiana was collected on May 31st, 2011. Data for Alabama was collectedfrom June 2nd, 2011 to June 4th, 2011. Data for Mississippi was collected from June 1st, 2011 to June 3rd, 2011.

LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is a remote sensing technology, i.e. the technology is not in direct contact with what is being measured. From satellite, aeroplane or helicopter, a LiDAR system sends a light pulse to the ground. This pulse hits the ground and returns back to a sensor on the system. The time is recorded to measure how long it takes for this light to return. Knowing this time measurement scientists are able to create topography maps. LiDAR data are collected as points (X,Y,Z (x & y coordinates) and z (height)). The data is then converted into gridded (GeoTIFF) data to create a Digital Terrain Model and Digital Surface Model of the earth. An ordnance datum (OD) is a vertical datum used as the basis for deriving heights on maps. This data is referenced to the Malin Head Vertical Datum which is the mean sea level of the tide gauge at Malin Head, County Donegal. It was adopted as the national datum in 1970 from readings taken between 1960 and 1969 and all heights on national grid maps are measured above this datum. This LiDAR data was collected between 2015 and 2021. Digital Terrain Models (DTM) are bare earth models (no trees or buildings) of the Earth’s surface. Digital Surface Models (DSM) are earth models in its current state. For example, a DSM includes elevations from buildings, tree canopy, electrical power lines and other features. This data was collected by the Geological Survey Ireland, the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, the Discovery Programme, the Heritage Council, Transport Infrastructure Ireland, New York University, the Office of Public Works and Westmeath County Council. All data formats are provided as GeoTIFF rasters but are at different resolutions. Data resolution varies depending on survey requirements.

The data contained within this particular release are comprised of conventional survey (i.e. total station and GNSS) and ground based lidar data.
This dataset contains a seamless high resolution, two-meter, topographic lidar digital elevation model (DEM) of the Lower Texas Coast. The elevations in this DEM represent the topographic bare-earth surface. The dataset is a fusion of several airborne topographic light detection and ranging (lidar) surveys acquired by various surveyors between the years 2007 – 2019 where coverage is primarily from 2018 and 2019. The landward extent of the lidar surveys selected for the creation of this DEM is determined by the boundary of the ADvanced CIRCulation (ADCIRC) TX2008_R35H computational mesh obtained from the Computational Hydraulics Group at The University of Texas at Austin. The spatial reference used for the tiles in the DEM is in Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) Zone 14 in units of meters and in conformance with the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83). All bare earth elevations are referenced to the North American Datum of 1988 (NAVD88). The 2-meter DEM of the upper Texas coast is available under GRIIDC Unique Dataset Identifier (UDI): HI.x833.000:0009 (DOI: 10.7266/2MYPTJ7Y).

In 2021, a complete airborne LiDAR survey of the Northern Ireland coastline was captured as part of the NI 3D Coastal Survey, providing precise and accurate data of the current coastal morphology.The survey included the intertidal area and extended approximately 200 meters landward of the high-water mark.This is the LiDAR Point Cloud created from the LiDAR data.
A topographic Lidar survey was conducted on February 6, 2012, over the Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana. The data were collected at a nominal pulse space of 0.5-meter (m) and processed to identify bare earth elevations. Bare earth digital elevation models (DEMs) were generated based on these data. Digital Aerial Solutions, LLC, was contracted by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) to collect and process the lidar data. The bare earth DEMs are 32-bit floating point ERDAS Imagine (IMG) files with a horizontal spatial resolution of 1-m by 1-m. They are in decimal degree geographic coordinates, North American Datum 1983, National Spatial Reference System 2007 (NAD83 NSRS2007)). Their vertical datum is North American Vertical Datum 1988, Geoid 2009, Geodetic Reference System 1980 (NAVD88 GEOID09 GRS80) in meters. Thirty-three DEMs, based on a 2-kilometer (km) by 2-km tiling scheme, cover the entire survey area. These lidar data are available to Federal, State and local governments, emergency-response officials, resource managers, and the general public.
