The NOAA Coastal Services Center is using new remote sensing technologies to map coastal topography in the U.S. These technologies include Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) and Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (IfSAR or InSAR). To address the needs of the coastal resource management community, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Coastal Services Center makes available, in partnership with federal, state, and local governments, high resolution elevation data collected using remote sensing technologies. The Coastal Services Center serves IfSAR and lidar data via online download tools that maximize the utility and customization of the data. These data sources are highly accurate and provide wide scale coverage of coastal areas. Some of the more common uses of the data include: * Shoreline Mapping and Change - increase accuracy and resolution of shoreline * Inundation Modeling - analyze storm surge and tsunami and wave propagation * Engineering - design and monitoring of coastal structures and projects * Permitting - definition of local physiography and site/property conditions * Habitat Restoration/Preservation - planning, design, and monitoring of restoration projects and mapping of critical habitats * Disaster Response - rapid 3D assessment and inventory of ground conditions * Viewshed/watershed analyses - 3D depictions of the terrain and features The Topographic Change Mapping project follows in the footsteps of the Airborne LIDAR Assessment of Coastal Erosion (ALACE) project. The ALACE project was a partnership between the NOAA Coastal Services Center, the NASA Observational Sciences Branch, and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Center for Coastal Geology. The partnership collected LIDAR data along the sandy beaches of the U.S. from September 1996 to October 2000 using the NASA Airborne Topographic Mapper (ATM) sensor. USGS and NASA continue to collect LIDAR data with the ATM for research purposes. 1996 Present ground condition In work As needed -169 -70 69 20 ISO 19115 Topic Category Elevation None Bathymetry/Topography Light Detection and Ranging LiDAR Bare Ground Surface Elevation Hydro Hydrography None United States U.S. Coastline LiDAR data sets accessed through the LDART system are compiled dynamically, and will exist on an FTP site at the Coastal Services Center for 10 days from the date of request. After 10 days these files will be deleted from the system. Users should be aware that temporal changes may have occurred since these data werecollected and some parts of this data may no longer represent actual surface conditions. Users shouldnot use this data for critical applications without a full awareness of it's limitations. Refer to the metadata record created and delivered with each LDART data product.
