Lidar Report
This lidar report provides accompanying information about the collection and processing of this lidar data set.
download
The Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (DGGS) used aerial lidar to produce a digital terrain model (DTM), surface model (DSM), and intensity model for the area surrounding the community of Kotlik, Alaska. Detailed bare earth elevation data for the Kotlik area support and inform potential infrastructure development and provide critical information required to assess geomorphic activity. Airborne data were collected on August 17, 2019, and subsequently processed in Terrasolid and ArcGIS. Ground control was collected between August 20-22, 2019, by the Alaska Division of Mining, Land, and Water. This data collection is released as a Raw Data File with an open end-user license. All files can be downloaded free of charge from the Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys website (http://doi.org/10.14509/30561).
The NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) downloaded this data set from this AK DGGS site:
https://elevation.alaska.gov/
These files were processed to make the data available for custom and bulk download from the NOAA Digital Coast Data Access Viewer (DAV) . The total number of files downloaded and processed was 1.
In addition to these bare earth Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data, the lidar point data that these DEM data were created from, are also available. These data are available for custom download at the link provided in the URL section of this metadata record.
Detailed bare earth elevation data for the Kotlik area support and inform potential infrastructure development and provide critical information required to assess geomorphic activity. This data release is one of a series of DGGS publications to present elevation data.

>classified point cloud data: Classified point cloud data is provided in this collection in compressed .laz format. Data are classified in accordance with ASPRS 2014 guidelines and contain return and intensity information. The average pulse spacing was 24.8 cm and the average density was 16.25 pts/m^2. Elevation surfaces interpolated from areas with a point density of fewer than 4pts/m2 were classified as nodata.
>digital surface model: The DSM represents surface elevations, for example, heights of vegetation, buildings, bridges, etc. The DSM is a single band, 32-bit GeoTIFF file, with a ground sample distance of 0.5 meters. No Data value is set to -3.40282306074e+038. >digital terrain model: The DTM represents surface elevations of ground surfaces, excluding vegetation, bridges, buildings, etc. The DTM is a single-band, 32-bit float GeoTIFF file, with a ground sample distance of 0.5 meters. No Data value is set to -3.40282306074e+038.
>lidar intensity image: The lidar intensity image describes the relative amplitude of reflected signals, contributing to the point cloud. Lidar intensity is largely a function of scanned object reflectance in relation to the signal frequency, is dependent on ambient conditions, and is not necessarily consistent between separate scans. The intensity image is a single-band, 32-bit float GeoTIFF file with a ground sample distance of 0.5 meters. No Data value is set to -3.40282306074e+038 (32-bit, floating-point minimum).
>hydro-enforced digital terrain model: The hydro-enforced DTM represents bare earth surfaces which have undergone a selective "flattening" process, where elevation values for any hydrologic features, as well as any hydrologic obstacles (bridges, culverts, etc.), are replaced with neighboring pixel values. The hydro-enforced DTM is a single-band, 32-bit float GeoTIFF file, with a ground sample distance of 0.5 meters. No Data value is set to -3.40282306074e+038.

Horizontal Positional Accuracy
Horizontal accuracy was not measured for this collection.
Vertical Positional Accuracy
Forty-two bare earth checkpoints were used to determine the non-vegetated vertical accuracy (NVA) of the point cloud ground class, using a tin-based approach. Project NVA was calculated to have a root mean square error (RMSE) of 8.2 cm. Using the same approach, fifty-two vegetated points were used to determine the vegetated vertical accuracy (VVA) of the point cloud ground class. Project VVA was evaluated at 25.2 cm RMSE, with an average elevation difference of +21.2 cm.
Completeness Report
This data release is complete, and there is no over collect except for the aircraft turns that were eliminated from the dataset.
Conceptual Consistency
The data quality is consistent throughout the survey. The accompanying report provides additional detail regarding tests used to determine data fidelity.
Data were collected by the Alaska Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys (AK DGGS). OCM downloaded the data from the Alaska DGGS Elevation Portal and processed the data to be available for custom and bulk download from the NOAA Digital Coast Data Access Viewer (DAV).
Airborne survey - DGGS operates a Riegl VUX1-LR lidar integrated with a GNSS and Northrop Grumman IMU system. The integration was designed by Phoenix LiDAR systems. The sensor is capable of collecting up to 820,000 points per second over a distance of 150 m. This survey was flown at a scan rate between 200,000 and 400,000 points per second at a scan rate between 80 and 150 lines per second. This survey was flown with an average elevation of 400 m above ground level and a ground speed of approximately 40 m/s with a fixed-wing aircraft configuration, using a Cessna 185 aircraft. The scan angle was set from 55 to 305 degrees. The total area surveyed was approximately 15 km2. The accompanying report provides additional detail regarding flight conditions.

Ground survey - The Alaska Division of Mining, Land, and Water acquired surveyed ground control August 20-22, 2019 in an approximate 2-mile radius around the town of Kotlik. Ninety-four points were collected, including 42 bare earth, 18 forested, 33 low-vegetation, and 1 urban surface points.
2019-08-22T00:00:00
Lidar dataset processing - Point data were processed in SDCimport software for initial filtering and multiple-time-around (MTA) disambiguation. MTA errors, corrected in this process, are the result of imprecise interpretations of received pulse time intervals and occur more frequently with higher pulse refresh rates. IMU and GPS data were used to integrate flightline information with the point cloud in Spatial Explorer software. The point data were calibrated at an incrementally precise scale of sensor movement and behavior, incorporating sensor velocity, roll, pitch, and yaw fluctuations throughout the survey. Points were classified in accordance with ASPRS 2014 guidelines, using macros designed in Terrasolid software. Careful attention was given to the interpolation of the project's ground surface to compensate for inconsistent penetration through low vegetation as a function of the scan angle. Once classified, points underwent a geometric transformation and were converted from ellipsoidal heights to GEOID12B (Alaska) heights. Raster products were derived from the point cloud, using ArcMap. The DTM was interpolated from all ground class returns using a tin-based method. The DTM was also used to produce a separate hydroflattened raster, incorporating hydrography polygons from the AK SDMI IFSAR dataset. The DSM was likewise interpolated from only the first returns for all classes. An intensity image was also produced in ArcMap, using closest-to-mean binning.

The NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) downloaded 1 raster DEM file in GeoTiff format from the Alaska DGGS Elevation Portal. The data were in UTM Zone 3N NAD83 (2011), meters coordinates and NAVD88 (Geoid12B) elevations in meters. The bare earth raster file was at a 0.5 meter grid spacing.
OCM performed the following processing on the data for Digital Coast storage and provisioning purposes:
1. Used an internal script to assign the EPSG codes (Horizontal EPSG: 6332 and Vertical EPSG: 5703) to the GeoTiff formatted file.
2. Copied the file to https.
