Dataset Identification:
- This data set contains three-dimensional mobile lidar elevation data for seven villages in American Samoa on the island of Tutuila. The seven villages are: Fagaalu, Fagotogo, Pago Pago, Vatia, Leone, Amanave, and Poloa. The data were collected by Sanborn Map Company on October 27 - 30, 2010 Partners in this effort were the NOAA Pacific Services Center, the American Samoa Department of Commerce, and the National Park of American Samoa. The classifications available for download from the Digital Coast are: 1. Ground (2) 2. Low Vegetation (3) 3. Medium Vegetation (4) 4. High Vegetation (5) 5. Building (6) 6. Model Key Point (8) A smooth surface can be generated from model key points.
