Description
These data were collected by the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration National Geodetic Survey
Remote Sensing Division using an OPTECH ALTM system. The data includes topographic data in an LAS format file.
The data was collected 31 July - 1 August 2008 on the Kenai Peninsula of Alaska. It has been processed to bare
earth using only an automated routine - additional manual editing is required for localized use. The data covers
portions of the Outer and Inner Kachemak Bay coastline from Point Anchor to Homer and along the coast into the head
of the bay. The data falls in the Kachemak Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve and includes the Fox River
Flats Critical Habitat Areas.
