Abstract

These files contain rasterized lidar elevations generated from data collected by the Coastal Zone Mapping and Imaging Lidar (CZMIL) system. CZMIL integrates a lidar sensor with topographic and bathymetric capabilities, a digital camera and a hyperspectral imager on a single remote sensing platform for use in coastal mapping and charting activities.The 3-D position data are used to generate a series of gridded file products, which are tiled into quarter-quads or 5km boxes. The grid file index is provided by the shape file mi_superior_boxes.shp, and the numbers used to identify files are in the "Box" field of the shape file. The LAS file naming convention is based on the year, effort, area name, "Box," and the product type. An example file name is "2013_NCMP_MI_Superior_01_BareEarth_1mGrid.tif", where 2013 is the year of data collection, NCMP is the project under which data were collected, MI_Superior is the area of data collection, 01 is the "Box" number, and BareEarth_1mGrid is the product type.

In addition to these bare earth Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data, the lidar point data that these DEM data were created from, are also available. These data are available for custom download at the link provided in the URL section of this metadata record.
