Dataset Identification:
- The U.S. Department of Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) contracted with Watershed Sciences, Inc. to collect high resolution topographic LiDAR data for multiple areas within the State of Oregon. The areas for LiDAR collection have been designed as part of a collaborative effort of state, federal, and local agencies in order to meet a wide range of project goals. This LiDAR data set was collected on April 7, 2012 and encompasses a portion of Yamhill County in Oregon. This data set consists of bare earth and unclassified points. The average pulse density is 8.91 pulses per square meter over terrestrial surfaces. The area of interest (AOI) encompasses approximately 5,580 acres and the total area flown (TAF) covers 6,137 acres. The TAF acreage is greater than the original AOI acreage due to buffering and flight planning optimization. In some areas of heavy vegetation or forest cover, there may be relatively few ground points in the LiDAR data. Elevation values for open water surfaces are not valid elevation values because few LiDAR points are returned from water surfaces. LiDAR intensity values were also collected.

- Use limitation statement:
- These data depict the elevations at the time of the survey and are only accurate for that time. Users should be aware that temporal changes may have occurred since this data set was collected and some parts of this data may no longer represent actual surface conditions. Users should not use this data for critical applications without a full awareness of its limitations. Any conclusions drawn from analysis of this information are not the responsibility of NOAA or any of its partners. These data are NOT to be used for navigational purposes.

- Use Limitation
- While every effort has been made to ensure that these data are accurate and reliable within the limits of the current state of the art, NOAA cannot assume liability for any damages caused by any errors or omissions in the data, nor as a result of the failure of the data to function on a particular system. NOAA makes no warranty, expressed or implied, nor does the fact of distribution constitute such a warranty.

Data quality information
Scope of quality information
- name Of Measure Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report
- evaluation Method Description Not specified in final report, assumed to be 1 m.
- name Of Measure Vertical Positional Accuracy Report
- evaluation Method Description The Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of the data is 0.04 meters. Accuracy was assessed using 1,183 ground survey (real time kinematic) points. These ground survey points are distributed throughout the Panther Creek study area. The final LiDAR Report for the Panther Creek study area may be accessed at: ftp://ftp.csc.noaa.gov/pub/crs/beachmap/qa_docs/or/panther_creek/PantherCreek_April_2012.pdf
- evaluation Method Description LiDAR data has been collected and processed for all areas within the project study area.
- measure Description LiDAR flight lines have been examined to ensure that there is at least 50% sidelap, that there are no gaps between flightlines, and that overlapping flightlines have consistent elevation values. Shaded relief images have been visually inspected for data errors such as pits, border artifacts, gaps, and shifting. The data were examined at the 1:3000 scale.
