Resource Abstract:
- description: The Joint Airborne Lidar Bathymetry Technical Center of Expertise (JALBTCX) has performed a coastal survey along
the Atlantic coast in the summer of 2005 and 2007. The data types collected include bathymetry and topographic lidar point
data, and true color imagery. The collection effort follows the coastline and extends 500m inland and 1000m offshore or to
laser extinction, whichever comes first. Topographic lidar is collected with 200% coverage, yielding a nominal 1m x 1m post-spacing.
Where water conditions permit, the bathymetry lidar data will have a nominal post spacing of 4m x 4m. The true color imagery
will have a pixel size approximately 35cm. The final data will be tied to horizontal positions, provided in decimal degrees
of latitude and longitude, and are referenced to the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83). Vertical positions are referenced
to the NAD83 ellipsoid and provided in 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).;
