The date of collection for the leaf off data is 20071208. The date of collection for the leaf on data is 20070903. The area of interest covers ~5577 acres (~8.71 sq miles). The LiDAR survey utilized a Leica ALS50 Phase II laser mounted in a Cessna Caravan 208B set to acquire > or = 105,000 pulses per second (i.e. 105 kHz pulse rate). The scan angle was +/- 14 degrees from nadir. These settings are designed to yield an average native density (number of pulses emitted by the laser system) of > or = 8 points per square meter over terrestrial surfaces. LiDAR intensity values were also collected. In some areas of heavy vegetation or forest cover, there may be relatively few ground points in the LiDAR data. Elevation values for open water surfaces are not valid elevation values because few LiDAR points are returned from water surfaces. Watershed Sciences, Inc. collected the LiDAR and created this data set for the Bureau of Land Management. Provide high resolution terrain elevation and land cover elevation data.

Shaded relief images have been visually inspected for data errors such as pits, border artifacts, gaps, and shifting. The data was examined at a 1:3500 scale. LiDAR data has been collected and processed for all areas within the project study area. 1/4500th Above Ground Level (AGL). For more information, please refer to the report for The LiDAR Remote Sensing Data Collection: Yamhill County, Oregon at: ftp://ftp.csc.noaa.gov/pub/crs/beachmap/qa_docs/or/Yamhill_BLM_LiDAR_Report.pdf The Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of the data set is 0.02 meters. Accuracy was assessed using 524 ground survey (real time kinematic) points. For more information, please refer to the report for The LiDAR Remote Sensing Data Collection: Yamhill County, Oregon at: ftp://ftp.csc.noaa.gov/pub/crs/beachmap/qa_docs/or/Yamhill_BLM_LiDAR_Report.pdf Acquisition. The LiDAR data was collected on December 8, and September 3, 2007. A Leica ALS50 Phase II LiDAR system was mounted in a fixed-wing aircraft. Near nadir scan angles were used to increase penetration of vegetation to ground surfaces. Ground level GPS and aircraft IMU were collected during the flight. 2007 Watershed Sciences, Inc.

Laser point return coordinates were computed using the ALS Post Processing software suite and IPAS Pro software based on independent data from the LiDAR system, IMU, and aircraft. 3. The raw LiDAR file was assembled into flight lines per return with each point having an associated x, y, and z coordinate. 4. Visual inspection of swath to swath laser point consistencies within the study area were used to perform manual refinements of system alignment. 5. Custom algorithms were designed to evaluate points between adjacent flight lines. Automated system alignment was computed based upon randomly selected swath to swath accuracy measurements that consider elevation, slope, and intensities. Specifically, refinement in the combination of system pitch, roll and yaw offset parameters optimize internal consistency. 6. Noise (e.g., pits and birds) was filtered using ALS postprocessing software, based on known elevation ranges and included the removal of any cycle slips. 7. Using TerraScan and Microstation, ground classifications utilized custom settings appropriate to the study area. 8. The corrected and filtered return points were compared to the RTK ground survey points collected to verify the vertical and horizontal accuracies. 9. Points were exported as laser points, TINed and GRIDed surfaces. 2007 Watershed Sciences, Inc. Mailing and physical address

Portland OR 97214 971-223-5152 watershedsciences.com The NOAA Coastal Services Center (CSC) received the files in las format. The files contained Lidar elevation and intensity measurements. The data was in UTM Projection, Zone 10N and NAVD88 Geoid 03 vertical datum. CSC performed the following processing to the data to make it available within the LDART Retrieval Tool (LDART): 1. The data were converted from UTM coordinates to geographic coordinates. 2. The data were converted from NAVD88 (orthometric) heights to GRS80 (ellipsoid) heights using Geoid 03. 3. The LAS data were sorted by latitude and the headers were updated. 20080717 Department of Commerce (DOC), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Ocean Service (NOS), Coastal Services Center (CSC) Coastal Elevation Mapping (CEM) Project Scientist Mailing and physical address

The disk contains 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 on this disk 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. 20090721 DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NGDC > National Geophysical Data Center, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce Pamela Grothe Mailing and Physical Address
