            <abstract> This Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) LAS dataset is a topographic survey conducted for a coalition of GIS practitioners, including the Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM), Florida Water Management Districts, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Army Corps of Engineers Jacksonville District, and other state and federal agencies. The goal for this project is to use the LiDAR data as new elevation
                inputs for updated SLOSH data grids. The ultimate result is the update of the Regional Hurricane Evacuation Studies (RHES) for the state. The State of Florida Division of Emergency Management LiDAR Survey was collected under the guidance of a Professional Mapper/Surveyor. This data was collected for a portion of Levy County, Florida from 1 July - August 16 2007. This is a classified lidar data set; bare-earth points (class 2), water returns (class 9), and unclassified data (class
                1). The LiDAR data was flown at a density sufficient to support a maximum final post spacing of 4 feet for unobscured areas. A footprint of this data set may be viewed in Google Earth at: ftp://ftp.csc.noaa.gov/pub/crs/beachmap/qa_docs/fl/fdem/levy/FDEM_Lidar_Levy_County.kmz </abstract>
            <purpose> The LiDAR topographic mapping survey is to support the Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM) development and maintenance of Regional Hurricane Evacuations Studies (RHES), which include vulnerability assessments, and to assist disaster response personnel in understanding the threats to Florida's citizens and visitors. Additional intended uses for this survey are growth management, map modernization/floodplain mapping, natural lands stewardship, and homeland
                security planning. </purpose>
            <supplinf> A complete description of this dataset is available in the Minimum Technical Standard (MTS report) "Final Report of Specific Purpose LiDAR Survey - LiDAR, Breaklines, and Contours for Levy County, Florida" submitted to Florida Division of Emergency Management.

                    <vertacce> Based on the vertical accuracy testing conducted by PDS, using NSSDA and FEMA methodology, vertical accuracy at the 95% confidence level (called Accuracyz) is computed by the formula RMSEz x 1.9600. The dataset for Levy County, Florida satisfies the criteria: Countywide lidar dataset tested 0.58 ft vertical accuracy at 95% confidence level in open terrain, based on open terrain RMSEz (0.30 ft) x 1.9600. Countywide lidar dataset tested 0.86 ft vertical accuracy at
                        95% confidence level in all land cover categories combined, based on consolidated RMSEz (0.44 ft) x 1.9600.

                <procdesc> The ABGPS, IMU, and raw Leica ALS-50 LiDAR data are integrated into the LEICA ALS post processor software. The resultant file is in a LAS binary file format. The LAS file version 1.1 formats can be easily transferred from one file format to another. It is a binary file format that maintains information specific to the LiDAR data (return#, intensity value, xyz, etc.). The resultant points are produced in the geodetic coordinates referenced to the NAD83 horizontal datum
                    and GRS80 vertical datum. The date and time for each flight line can be determined using the Julian date and time. The Julian date is a continuous count of days and fractions since noon Universal Time on January 1, 4713 BCE on the Julian calendar. </procdesc>

                <procdesc> The unedited data are classified to facilitate the application of the appropriate feature extraction filters. A combination of proprietary filters are applied as appropriate for the production of bare earth digital terrain models (dtms). Interactive editing methods are applied to those areas where it is inappropriate or impossible to use the feature extraction filters, based upon the design criteria and/or limitations of the relevant filters. These same feature
                    extraction filters are used to produce elevation height surfaces. The LiDAR mass points were delivered in American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing LAS 1.1 format. The header file for each dataset is complete as defined by the LAS 1.1 specification. In addition the following fields are included: Flight Date Julian, Year, and Class. The LAS files do not include overlap. The data was classified as follows: Class 1 = Unclassified. This class includes vegetation,
                    buildings, noise etc. Class 2 = Ground Class 9 = Water </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>
