            <abstract> These data were collected by the Joint Airborne Lidar Bathymetry Technical Center of Expertise using the CHARTS system. The data includes hydrographic and topographic data. This data was collected Post-Hurricane Ivan in Alabama and Florida. </abstract>
            <purpose> The data were collected to depict the elevations above and below water along the immediate coastal zone. </purpose>
            <supplinf> As noted in the "Time_Period_of_Content" section, these data were collected between November and December of 2004. A finer breakdown of the data is given below for specific geographic bounds: Baldwin County, AL to Walton County, FL - 200411 to 200412. Powell Lake to Little St George Island, FL - 200411 to 200412. New Port Richey to Cape Romano, FL - 20041107 to 20041116. Jupiter to Miami, FL - 20041122 to 20041203. Cocoa Beach to Jupiter, FL - 20041121 to 20041208.
                Fernandina Beach to New Smyrna Beach - 20041206 to 20041211. </supplinf>

                <procdesc> The NOAA Coastal Services Center (CSC) received ASCII files from USACE. CSC performed the following processing on the data to make it available within the Lidar Data Retrieval Tool (LDART): 1. The data were projected using the General Cartographic Transformation Package. 2. The lat, lon, and intensity values where extracted from the ascii files and converted to the LDART binary format. </procdesc>

                <procdesc> The NOAA National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) received Lidar data files by ftp. The data received compressed containing LiDAR data from the NOAA Coastal Services Center. The data are currently being served via Digital Coastl at http://www.csc.noaa.gov/digitalcoast/. The data can be used to re-populate the system. The data are provided in LAS format. LAS format is an industry standard for serving LiDAR data. The data are exclusively in geographic coordinates,
                    however, the datums used vary. Most are NAD 83, however some are in ITRF. Vertical systems include both ellipsoid (ITRF and NAD 83) and NAVD 88. For NAVD 88 values, Geiod 03 is primarily used; however, data received in NAVD 88 prior to 2003 was processed using Geoid 99. </procdesc>
