2016 USGS West Coast El-Nino Lidar DEM (WA, OR, CA)

Towill collected approximately 75 square miles of coast in Oregon, 486 square miles of coast in Washington and California, and an additional 44 square miles for USACE defined harbors. The data was collected in a corridor approximately 500 meters wide. The nominal pulse spacing for this project was 1 point every 0.35 meters.  Dewberry used proprietary procedures to classify the LAS according to project specifications:  0-Never Classified, 1-Unclassified, 2-Ground, 7-Low Noise, 9-Water, 10-Ignored Ground due to breakline proximity, 17- Bridges, 18-High Noise, 64- Flown Outside of Low Tide Window and 65- Temporal Ground. Dewberry produced 3D breaklines and combined these with the final LiDAR data to produce seamless DEMs for the project area. The data was formatted according to the USNG tile naming convention with each tile covering an area of 1,500 meters by 1,500 meters.  A total of 2377 UTM 10 DEM and LAS tiles and 487 UTM 11 DEM and LAS tiles were produced for the project.

1999 Fall Gulf Coast NOAA/USGS/NASA  Airborne LiDAR Assessment of Coastal Erosion (ALACE) Project for the US Coastline

This data set includes data collected on October 16, 1999 and coastline in the State of Texas from Galveston to the
Louisiana border.
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.

NOAA Office for Coastal Management Coastal Inundation Digital Elevation Model: San Francisco Bay/Monterey (CA) WFO - Contra Costa, San Francisco, Alameda, San Mateo, and Santa Clara Counties

This digital elevation model (DEM) is a part of a series of DEMs produced for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Office for Coastal Management's Sea Level Rise and Coastal Flooding Impacts Viewer. The DEMs created for this project were developed using the NOAA National Weather Service's Weather Forecast Office (WFO) boundaries. Because the WFO boundaries can cover large areas, the WFO DEM was divided into smaller DEMs to ensure more manageable file sizes.  The San Francisco Bay/Monterey (CA) WFO DEM was split into three smaller DEMs. They are divided along county lines and are: 1. San Francisco Bay/Monterey (CA) WFO - Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties 2. San Francisco Bay/Monterey (CA) WFO - Contra Costa, San Francisco, Alameda, San Mateo, and Santa Clara Counties 3. San Francisco Bay/Monterey (CA) WFO - Sonoma, Marin, Napa, and Solano Counties  This metadata record describes the DEM for the San Francisco Bay/Monterey (CA) WFO - Contra Costa, San Francisco, Alameda, San Mateo, and Santa Clara Counties. The DEM includes the best available lidar data known to exist at the time of DEM creation for the coastal areas of Contra Costa, San Francisco, Alameda, San Mateo, and Santa Clara Counties, that met project specifications.  The DEM is derived from LiDAR data collected for the California Coastal Conservancy, NOAA and the United States Geological Survey between 2009 and 2011. Hydrographic breaklines used in the creation of the DEM were obtained from the California Coastal Conservancy, NOAA or the USGS. The DEMs are hydro flattened such that water elevations are less than or equal to 0 meters.  The DEM is referenced vertically to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88) with vertical units of meters and horizontally to the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83). The resolution of the DEM is approximately 5 meters.

2020-2023 CCAP Version 2 Canopy Cover

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 through time. The timeframe for this metadata is 2020 through 2023, depending on the latest date of available imagery. These maps were developed for NOAA by Ecopia (ecopiatech.com) utilizing high resolution 30cm or better aerial imagery. In addition, a digital surface model (DSM) derived from the stereo imagery was used to determine vegetation heights. This information provides managers with a detailed accounting of current landscape conditions related to impervious surface, woody canopy, and water feature extents.

Advancing Low Impact Development in Coastal South Carolina - NERRS/NSC(NERRS Science Collaborative)

Known for its beautiful beaches and marshlands, coastal South Carolina has seen a 20 percent population increase over the past decades, which in turn has led to an increase in land covered by impervious surfaces such as roads and parking lots. This has led to higher volumes of stormwater runoff, which heightens flood risk and degrades water quality. Climate change will only make this problem worse. To address these challenges, South Carolina decision-makers will need locally relevant information and guidance to help them implement innovative low impact development techniques that mimic natural landscapes and hydrologic processes.

Great Lakes AIS Vessel Tracks 2011

Automatic Identification Systems (AIS) are a navigation safety device that transmits and monitors the location and characteristics of many vessels in U.S. and international waters in real-time. In the U.S. the Coast Guard and industry collect AIS data, which can also be used for a variety of coastal planning purposes. NOAA and BOEM have worked jointly to re-task and make available some of the most important records from the U.S. Coast Guard's national network of AIS receivers. Information such as location, time, ship type, length, width, and draft have been extracted from the raw data and prepared as track lines for analyses in desktop GIS software.

San Francisco Bay Interferometric Side Scan Imagery: Area A

Backscatter imagery data were collected over shallow subtidal areas in the San Francisco Bay estuary system.  Bathymetric and acoustic backscatter data were collected simultaneously in 84 survey blocks.  Seventy five of these blocks were surveyed with 100% cover of backscatter imagery and nine blocks were surveyed with 50% backscatter coverage.  These data were collected as source material for planned benthic habitat mapping.  An earlier project had been completed to map the very-shallow subtidal and intertidal areas using optical methods.  These mosaics were collected with the Edgetech 6205 sonar system in the San Francisco Bay. For this San Francisco Bay habitat mapping project, seventy-five survey blocks were acquired with the Edgetech 6205 sonar, as these seventy-five areas contained water depths that were predominantly shallower than 20 meters and thus more efficiently mapped using side-scan sonar methods.
