The data have been classified and were flown to derive bare earth contours at 2 feet. Multiple returns were recorded for each laser pulse along with an intensity value for each return. The points have a 1.4 m ground spacing (1.0 m ground spacing within the Wilmington Urban Area). This LIDAR operation was designed to provide a high density set of masspoints within the defined areas. The data sets are suitable for the development of contours for use in hydraulic/hydrologic model development, and for assessing environmental impacts. Typical uses for the data set include: FEMA Flood Plain Map Modernization, DFIRM map updates, watersheds and other hydro studies per FEMA specifications, county mapping projects which include several uses, in addition to flood mitigation assessment, mapping projects that include accuracy verification, reporting and metadata. 20070331 20070405 Publication date Complete None Planned -75.807426 -75.293106 39.843937 38.817498 ISO 19115 Topic Category Elevation None Bathymetry/Topography DEM Digital elevation model Elevation Digital terrain model Surface Model Hydraulic Hydrographic Lidar Hydrologic Modeling Drainage Area Hydrology None US Delaware Kent County New Castle County None 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be aware that temporal changes may have occurred since this data set was collected and some parts of this data may no longer represent actual surface conditions.

Sanborn Mapping Company, Inc. 2008 Hard drive 20070331 20070405 Ground Condition Unknown Unknown Data Collection: Using a Leica Systems ALS50 Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) system, flight lines of standard density ground spacing of 1.4 meter and 1.0 meter (within the Wilmington Urban Area) data were collected over areas in Kent County, DE (approximately 800 square miles) and New Castle County, DE. Multiple returns were recorded for each laser pulse along with an intensity value for each return. The data acquisition occurred in 7 missions between March 31, 2007 and April 5, 2007. During the LIDAR campaign, the Sanborn field crew conducted a GPS field survey to establish final coordinates of the ground base stations for final processing of the base-remote GPS solutions. 2007 Airborne GPS Processing: Airborne GPS data were differentially processed and integrated with the post processed IMU data to derive a smoothed best estimate of trajectory (SBET). The SBET was used to reduce the LiDAR slant range measurements to a raw reflective surface for each flight line. The overlap between flight lines was removed to provide a homogeneous coverage, and the coverage was classified to extract a bare earth digital elevation model (DEM). Airborne GPS is differentially processed using the GrafNAV V7.50 software by Waypoint Consulting of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The PDOP and distance separation are as follows: IMU data is processed using the PosPac V4.2 software by Applanix Corporation of Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada. The reflective surface is derived using the ALS Post Processor software by Leica Geosystems GIS & Mapping Division of Atlanta, Georgia. The classification and quality control (QC) of LiDAR data is carried out using TerraScan software by Terrasolid Limited of Helsinki, Finland. 2007 IMU data Processing: IMU data provides information concerning roll, pitch and yaw of collection platform during collection event. IMU information allows the pulse vector to be properly placed in 3D space allowing the distance from the aircraft reference point to be properly positioned on the elevation model surface. IMU data is processed using the PosPac V4.2 software by Applanix Corporation of Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada. 2007 Reflective Surface Generation: The reflective surface is derived using the ALS Post Processor software by Leica Geosystems GIS & Mapping Division of Atlanta, Georgia. 2007 LIDAR Point Classification The classification and quality control (QC) of LiDAR data is carried out using TerraScan software by Terrasolid Limited of Helsinki, Finland. 2008 Output LAS Files The product output of LiDAR data is carried out using TerraScan software by Terrasolid Limited of Helsinki, Finland. LAS Binary and ArcGIS shapefiles were created. The shapefiles represented the bare earth product. All data were tiles to be consistent with the statewide orthoimagery tile layout. Two sets of data were provided -- one in ft (vertical) and the other in meters (vertical). Both had meters horizontal units. 2008 The NOAA Coastal Services Center (CSC) received files in LAS format. The files contained LiDAR intensity and elevation measurements. CSC performed the following processing on the data to make it available within the Digital Coast: 1. The data were converted from State Plane coordinates to geographic coordinates. 2. The data were converted from orthometric to ellipsoid heights using Geoid03. 3. The LAS header fields were sorted by latitude and updated. 4. The data were filtered to eliminate outliers. 20090327 Department of Commerce (DOC), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Ocean Service (NOS), Coastal Services Center (CSC) CEM Project Scientist Mailing and physical

Charleston SC 29405 US 843-740-1200 tcm@csc.noaa.gov 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. 20110721 DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NGDC > National Geophysical Data Center, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce Pamela Grothe Mailing and Physical Address
