5. Data Lineage and Quality

NOAA has issued Information Quality Guidelines for ensuring and maximizing the quality, objectivity, utility, and integrity of information which it disseminates.

5.1. Processing workflow of the data from collection or acquisition to making it publicly accessible
(describe or provide URL of description):

Process Steps:

Acquisition with ALS50 at 2500 meters AGL, 34 deg FOV, 96,800 pulse rate, 39.8 Hz, 20.85% sidelap, 1.4 meter NPS. All flights have calibration lines flown at beginning and end of flight over GPS basestation at local airport. 2 basestations are run at all times and placed so flight baseline never exceeds 25 miles. The bare-earth Lidar data was processed using FEMA Procedure Memorandum No. 61 & USGS (NGP) Base Lidar Specifications V13. Vertical Accuracy of the LiDAR data was assessed and reported in accordance with National Digital Elevation Program (NDEP)/American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) guidelines for fundamental vertical accuracy (FVA) <=36.3cm ACCz, 95% (18.5cm RMSEz), supplemental vertical accuracy (SVA) <=36.3 cm, 95th Percentile, and consolidated vertical accuracy (CVA) <=36.3cm 95th Percentile.
LiDAR lines processed to ground and manually cleaned and reviewed in TerraScan; DEM products produced in TerraScan
2018-04-05 00:00:00 - Data were obtained in October 2017 from the Maryland iMAP (imap.maryland.gov). Data were reprojected from Maryland State Plane to geographic coordinates. Vertical coordinates were transformed from feet NAVD88 to meters above the NAD83 ellipsoid using GEOID09. Data were ingested into the Digital Coast Data Access Viewer for distribution.
