Data Management Plan
DMP Template v2.0.1 (2015-01-01)
Please provide the following information, and submit to the NOAA DM Plan Repository.Reference to Master DM Plan (if applicable)
As stated in Section IV, Requirement 1.3, DM Plans may be hierarchical. If this DM Plan inherits provisions from a higher-level DM Plan already submitted to the Repository, then this more-specific Plan only needs to provide information that differs from what was provided in the Master DM Plan.
1. General Description of Data to be Managed
WSI has collected Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data of the Oregon Tillamook-Yamhill Study Area for the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI). The Oregon LiDAR Consortium's Tillamook- Yamhill project area encompasses approximately 200,000 acres in Tillamook and Yamhill County in northwestern Oregon. The area was flown between September 23rd and October 5th, 2012,The collection of high resolution geographic data is part of an ongoing pursuit to amass a library of information accessible to government agencies as well as the general public.
The LiDAR survey utilized Leica ALS50 and ALS60 sensors mounted in either Cessna Caravan 208B or Partenavia P.68 aircrafts. Depending on the pairing of sensor and aircraft, the systems were programmed to emit laser pulses at a rate between 96-105 kHz, and flown at 900 meters above ground level (AGL), capturing a scan angle of +-30 degrees from nadir. These settings are developed to yield points with an average native density of greater than eight points per square meter over terrestrial surfaces.
Final products created include LiDAR point cloud data, 1 meter digital elevation models of bare earth ground model and highest-hit returns, intensity rasters, study area vector shapes, and corresponding statistical data. Final deliverables were projected in Oregon Statewide Lambert Conformal Conic. This metadata was created for the bare earth digital elevation models.

Process Steps:
- 2012-01-01 00:00:00 - The LiDAR survey occurred between September 23rd and October 5th, 2012, utilizing Leica ALS60 and ALS50 sensors mounted in either a Cessna Caravan 208B or a Partenavia P.68 aircraft. The systems were programmed to emit single pulses at around 100 kHz and flown at 900 m AGL, capturing a scan angle of 30 degrees from nadir. These settings were developed to yield points with an average native density of greater than eight pulses per square meter over terrestrial surfaces. The study area was surveyed with opposing flight line side-lap of greater than 60% with at least 100% overlap to reduce laser shadowing and increase surface laser painting. The system allows up to four range measurements per pulse, and all discernible laser returns were processed for the output dataset. To solve for laser point position, it is vital to have an ac- The LiDAR survey utilized Leica ALS50 and ALS60 sensors mounted in either Cessna Caravan 208B or Partenavia P.68 aircrafts. Depending on the pairing of sensor and aircraft, the systems were programmed to emit laser pulses Airborne Survey Project Flightlines curate description of aircraft position and attitude. Aircraft position is described as x, y and z and measured twice per second (2 Hz) by an onboard differential GPS unit. Aircraft attitude is measured 200 times per second (200 Hz) as pitch, roll and yaw (heading) from an onboard inertial measurement unit (IMU).
- 2017-06-01 00:00:00 - The NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) received the files in the proprietary ESRI grid format. The files were converted to floating point GeoTIFF format in vertical meters using gdal_translate from GDAL version 2.1.1. (Citation: DEM files)
- 2023-08-16 00:00:00 - Files were converted to cloud optimized geotiff format to support streaming and the vertical units were reverted to feet to match the horizontal units.

6. Data Documentation
The EDMC Data Documentation Procedural Directive requires that NOAA data be well documented, specifies the use of ISO 19115 and related standards for documentation of new data, and provides links to resources and tools for metadata creation and validation.

7. Data Access
NAO 212-15 states that access to environmental data may only be restricted when distribution is explicitly limited by law, regulation, policy (such as those applicable to personally identifiable information or protected critical infrastructure information or proprietary trade information) or by security requirements. The EDMC Data Access Procedural Directive contains specific guidance, recommends the use of open-standard, interoperable, non-proprietary web services, provides information about resources and tools to enable data access, and includes a Waiver to be submitted to justify any approach other than full, unrestricted public access.
