      Description: 
         Abstract: 
            These data were collected in April of 2000 for the Cayuga County New 
            York Department of
            Planning and Economic Development. Elevation points were sampled at 
            densities necessary to support
            the generation of contours that meet or exceed United States National 
            Map Accuracy Standards
            applicable to the map scales that County tax maps are published and 
            for the following intervals of
            contour lines to be depicted: four feet for the entire county, two 
            feet for the City of Auburn and
            adjacent area and two feet for six floodplain areas. This is a bare 
            earth data set, the points, however,
            are classified as "Never Classified". There are points returned from 
            water surfaces. Point spacing is
            approximately 5 m. Also, there are areas in the county where the data 
            have been regularized, i.e. gridded points.
         Purpose: 
            To support the preparation of contour maps and to provide digital 
            data for GIS-based
            topographic analyses.

            Process Description: 
               The LiDAR data were collected in April 2000 for Cayuga County 
               Department of Planning and
               Economic Development by EagleScan/3Di LLC For the City of Auburn 
               and adjacent areas, the data was acquired
               at an altitude of 1000m (3000 ft) Above Ground Level (AGL). For 
               the remaining area of the county, the altitude
               was 2000m (6000 ft) AGL.

         Process Step: 
            Process Description: 
               The NOAA Coastal Services Center (CSC) received the files in ESRI 
               shapefile format. The data were in
               New York State Plane coordinates, Central Zone, NAD 83, NAVD88 
               vertical datum and the vertical units of measure were feet.
               CSC performed the following processing to the data to make it 
               available within Digital Coast:
               1. The data were converted from ESRI Shapefile format to las 
               format using LASEdit.
               2. The data were converted from New York State Plane Central 
               coordinates to geographic coordinates.
               3. The data were converted from NAVD88 (orthometric) heights to 
               GRS80 (ellipsoid) heights using Geoid99.
               4. The vertical unit of measure for the data was converted from 
               feet to meters.
               5. The LAS data were sorted by latitude and the headers were 
               updated.
               6. The data were filtered to remove outliers.

         Process Step: 
            Process Description: 
               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. This data is currently 
               being served via LDART at http://www.csc.noaa.gov/ldart . This 
               data can be used to re-populate the system. The data are 
               provided on this disk in two forms, ascii x,y,z data and also 
               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 is NAD 83, however some is 
               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.
