            <abstract> In the summer of 2008, the Northwest Florida Water Management District collected lidar data over a portion of Walton County, FL (Eglin Air force Base) to support various projects such as floodplain and hazards mapping, wetlands mitigation and stormwater management. The data collection occured in a portion of the county for which there is no prior collected lidar data. Used in conjunction with previously collected data in Walton County (FDEM Lidar collected in 2006), these
                data support the creation of a county-wide, high resolution, lidar derived digital elevation model(DEM). </abstract>
            <purpose>To supplement previously collected lidar data in the creation of county-wide, high resolution, lidar derived digital elevation models (DEM).</purpose>
            <supplinf> Reflective surface data represents the DEM created by laser energy reflected from the first surface encountered by the laser pulse. Some energy may continue beyond this initial surface to be reflected by a subsequent surface as represented by the Last Return data. Intensity information is captured from the Reflective Surface pulse and indicates the relative energy returned to the sensor as compared to the energy transmitted. The Intensity image is not calibrated or
                normalized but indicates differences in energy absorption due to the interaction of the surface materials with laser energy at the wavelength transmitted by the sensor. Points are classified as water, bare ground or not bare ground to support creation of a bare earth model from the data. A footprint of this data set may be viewed in Google Earth at: ftp://ftp.csc.noaa.gov/pub/crs/beachmap/qa_docs/fl/walton/2008_NWFWMD_Lidar_WaltonCounty_EglinAFB.kmz </supplinf>

                <procdesc> The ABGPS, IMU, and raw Optech 3100 LiDAR data are integrated into the TerraScan 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 define 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>

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>
