Airborne lidar bathymetry: the SHOALS system. PIANC Bulletin, No. 103-2000, 45-53. Vertical accuracy is believed to be on the order of 15 cm root mean square error.

                <procdesc> The NOAA Coastal Services Center (CSC) received ASCII files from USACE. CSC performed the following processing on the data to make it available within the Lidar Data Retrieval Tool (LDART): 1. The data were projected using the General Cartographic Transformation Package. 2. The lat, lon, and intensity values where extracted from the ascii files and converted to the LDART binary format and the LAS binary format. 3. LDART binary format was converted to xyz ascii text

                <procdesc> The NOAA National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) received Lidar data files on external harddrive. 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. </procdesc>
