ASCII xyz point cloud data were produced from remotely sensed, geographically referenced elevation measurements cooperatively by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) along the coasts of Alabama, Florida (Panhandle), Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas in 2001. Dates of collection are: 1. Alabama 20011002-20011004, 20011007-20011010 2. Florida 20011002 3. Louisiana 20010909-20010910 4. Mississippi 20010909-20010910 5. Texas 20011012-20011013 Elevation measurements were collected over the area using the NASA Airborne Topographic Mapper (ATM), a scanning Lidar system that measures high-resolution topography of the land surface. The ATM system is deployed on a Twin-Otter or P-3 Orion aircraft and incorporates a green-wavelength laser operating at pulse rates of 2 to 10 kilohertz. Measurements from the laser ranging device are coupled with data acquired from internal navigation system (INS) attitude sensors and differentially-corrected global positioning system (GPS) receivers to measure topography of the surface at accuracies of 10 to 20 centimeters.The ASCII elevation data can be used to create raster Digital Elevation Models (DEMs). The purpose of this project is to produce highly detailed and accurate elevation maps of the Alabama, Florida (Panhandle), Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas coastlines for natural resource managers and research scientists.2001090920011013UnknownCompletenotPlanned-97.141632-84.33333430.40283727.716485NoneBathymetry/TopographyAirborne Lidar Processing SystemALPSDEMDigital Elevation ModelATMAirborne Topographic Mapperlaser altimetryLidarremote sensingNoneUSNorthern Gulf of MexicoAlabamaFloridaLouisianaMississippiTexasNoneUse Limitation: 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be aware that temporal changes may have occurred since this data set was collected and some parts of this data may no longer represent actual surface conditions.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.; DOC/NOAA/NOS/CSC > Coastal Services Center, National Ocean Service, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, U.S. Department of Commercephysical and mailing 2234 South Hobson Ave. CharlestonSC29405-2413843-740-1200csc.info@noaa.govUnknown DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NGDC > National Geophysical Data Center, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of CommerceMike Sutherlandphysical and mailing NOAA/NESDIS/NGDC E/GC1 325 Broadway BoulderCO80305-3328303-497-6120mike.sutherland@noaa.govUnknown 20130507Mike SutherlandDOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NGDC > National Geophysical Data Center, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commercemailing and physical NOAA/NESDIS/NGDC E/GC1 325 Broadway BoulderCO80305-3328303-497-6120mike.sutherland@noaa.govContent Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata: Extensions for Remote Sensing MetadataFGDC-STD-012-2002
