NOAA's Coastal Change Analysis Program (C-CAP) 1975 Regional Land Cover Data - Coastal United States

The NOAA Coastal Change Analysis Program (C-CAP) produces national standardized land cover and change products for the coastal regions of the U.S.  C-CAP products inventory coastal intertidal areas, wetlands, and adjacent uplands with the goal of monitoring changes in these habitats, on a one-to-five year repeat cycle. The timeframe for this metadata is reported as 1975-Era, but the actual dates of the Landsat imagery used to create the land cover may have been acquired a few years before or after each era.  These maps are developed utilizing Landsat Multispectral Scanner and Landsat Thematic Mapper imagery, and can be used to track changes in the landscape through time.  This trend information gives important feedback to managers on the success or failure of management policies and programs and aid in developing a scientific understanding of the Earth system and its response to natural and human-induced changes. This understanding allows for the prediction of impacts due to these changes and the assessment of their cumulative effects, helping coastal resource managers make more informed regional decisions. NOAA C-CAP is a contributing member to the Multi-Resolution Land Characteristics consortium and C-CAP products are included as the coastal expression of land cover within the National Land Cover Database.

2003-2005 South Carolina Oyster Mapping Orthoimagery

Data set contains digital orthophotography.  The digital orthophotos in this series have a theoretical ground resolution of 0.25 meter.  The digital orthophotos are 4-band in nature (red, green, blue, near infrared) and are delivered as flown in four-band .img file format.  The four-band imagery is delivered in mosaics equaling one eighth of a DOQ.  The data set presents information that represents current conditions for the specified DOQQ regions of interest as specified by PhotoScience Task No. 01012C0053 for coastal areas of South Carolina.  The project area was selected specifically to cover those sections of the South Carolina coastal critical zone where oysters had historically been mapped by SCDNR.  The extent of the DOQQs for the project area range from the Hilton Head area in the southern part of South Carolina to the Myrtle Beach area in the northern part of the state.  All data were captured during specific imaging windows per contract.  These imaging windows are 6-10-03 through 6-16-03, 7-9-03 through 7-15-03, 7-30 through 7-31-03, 8-8-03 through 8-13-03, 8-27-03 through 8-29-03, 9-25-03 through 9-26-03, 10-24-03 5-2-04 through 5-6-04, 5-16-04 through 5-18-04, 5-31-04 through 6-5-04, 6-28-04 through 7-4-04, 7-28-04 through 8-2-04, 4-4-05 through 4-11-05, and 5-4-05 through 5-8-05.  The total DOQQ area is approximately 1,527 square miles.

Spreading the Seeds of Estuary Health - NERRS/NSC(NERRS Science Collaborative)

Through this project, four southeast National Estuarine Research Reserves created a region-wide student-driven program for teachers that furthered understanding of estuarine habitat restoration. The project built on the successes of previous efforts that engaged students in smooth cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora) restoration. Students at 18 participating schools in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida grew and transplanted smooth cordgrass to eroded marsh and/or floating cordgrass islands near their school, learned about estuarine habitat, and built scientific and technical skills. Reserves supported teachers through each stage of the project by providing professional development opportunities, standards-based lesson plans, and an online interactive resource center. The project grew a community of practice among educators and reserves, expanded the use of salt marsh focused curriculum, increased plant growth in degraded ecosystems, and gave students the tools to be effective ecological stewards in their communities. This science transfer project was funded by NOAA through the National Estuarine Research Reserve System Science Collaborative to promote the use of science. It did not produce any new data.

2003 Oahu Coastline Lidar

LIDAR data is remotely sensed high-resolution elevation data collected by an airborne collection platform. Using a
combination of laser rangefinding, GPS positioning and inertial measurement technologies; LIDAR instruments are able to make
highly detailed Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) of the earth's terrain, man-made structures and vegetation. This data was collected
over a 100 meter swath of the Oahu, Hawaii coastline with a Leica ALS-40 Aerial Lidar Sensor. Multiple returns were recorded for each
pulse in addition to an intensity value.

2015 NOAA Lidar: Pelekane Watershed (HI)

This metadata describes the Digital Elevation Model (DEM) 1 meter products derived from the airborne LiDAR data collected in August of 2015 for the Pelekane Watershed on the big island of Hawaii. The point cloud dataset was acquired with an Optech Orion M300 Airborne LiDAR Terrain Mapper with a nominal point spacing of 0.33 m. The DEM for this delivery was made from airborne LiDAR in LP360. A triangulated irregular network (TIN) was generated based on the LiDAR ground information (Using the tenderloin part of the point cloud only), and was later converted in a 1-meter raster file (DEM). Horizontal positions are referenced to UTM Zone 5 North (NAD83 PA11). Vertical elevations are in an orthometric datum derived from applying Geoid12b to NAD83(2011) ellipsoid heights and are in meters.

2000 Summer East Coast NOAA/USGS/NASA  Airborne LiDAR Assessment of Coastal Erosion (ALACE) Project for the US Coastline

This data set includes data collected in August 2000 and covers coastlines of the states of South Carolina and North Carolina.
Laser beach mapping uses a pulsed laser ranging system mounted onboard an aircraft to measure ground
elevation and coastal topography. The laser emits laser beams at high frequency and is directed downward at the
earth's surface through a port opening in the bottom of the aircraft's fuselage. The laser system records the
time difference between emission of the laser beam and the reception of the reflected laser signal in the
aircraft. The aircraft travels over the beach at approximately 60 meters per second while surveying from
the low water line to the landward base of the sand dunes.

2017 NOAA/OCM Unmanned Aerial System Lidar DEM: Grand Bay NERR

Quantum Spatial (QSI) and PrecisionHawk (PH) collected lidar for test sites within the Grand Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve (NERR) using an unmanned aerial system (UAS).  Four sites were flown, covering a total of 177 acres. A fixed-wing PH Lancaster (revision 5) platform was used, carrying a Velodyne Puck VLP-16 based lidar system. The system provides 2 returns (strongest and last) with a pulse rate of 300 kHz using a 903 nm wavelength laser. Flights were conducted from May 9-11, 2017 and were flown at 50 meters above ground level.

Specifications for the collection included 30 pulses per square meter and 0.10 meter RMSE vertical accuracy in non-vegetated areas. The average first return density was over 105 points per square meter with an average ground classified density of over 3 points per square meter.

Deliverables included a 1-meter resolution bare-earth DEM in UTM zone 16 NAD83(2011). These data were ingested into the Digital Coast Data Access Viewer for custom processing.
