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
In July of 2013, lightning strikes ignited three wildfires in southwest Oregon that became known as the Big Windy Complex. The fires were fully contained by the end of September after burning 27,555 acres of land owned by the Bureau of Land Management and protected by the Oregon Department of Forestry.
WSI has collected Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data for the BLM Fires study area for the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI). The Oregon LiDAR Consortium's BLM Fires area of interest (AOI) encompasses approximately 123,340 acres in Curry, Douglas and Jefferson counties in Oregon. The entire AOI lies within the Rogue River LiDAR dataset collected in 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.
Between September 26 and October 23, 2013, WSI employed remote-sensing lasers in order to obtain a total area flown of 127,340 acres. Settings for LiDAR data capture produced an average resolution of at least eight pulses per square meter.
Final products created include LiDAR point cloud data, one meter digital elevation models of bare earth ground model and highest-hit returns, intensity rasters, ground density rasters, orthophotos, 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:
- 2013-01-01 00:00:00 - The LiDAR survey occurred in September and October 2013, utilizing a Leica ALS50 sensor mounted in a Cessna Caravan. The system was programmed to emit single pulses at a rate of 96 to 105 kilohertz, and flown at 900 meters above ground level (AGL), capturing a scan angle of 15 degrees from nadir (field of view equal to 30 degrees). These settings are developed to yield points with an average native density of greater than eight pulses per square meter over terrestrial surfaces. To solve for laser point position, an accurate description of aircraft position and attitude is vital. Aircraft position is described as x, y, and z and was measured twice per second (two hertz) by an onboard differential GPS unit. Aircraft attitude is described as pitch, roll, and yaw (heading) and was measured 200 times per second (200 hertz) from an onboard inertial measurement unit (IMU).
- 2017-05-01 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.
- 2023-08-15 00:00:00 - Files were converted to cloud optimized geotiff format to support streaming and 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.
None
