2013 NOAA Topographic Lidar: U.S. Virgin Islands (St. Croix, St. John, St. Thomas)

Description

The United States Virgin Islands Topographic LiDAR project collected topographic elevation point data derived from multiple return light detection and ranging (LiDAR) measurements on the islands of St. Thomas, St. John, St. Croix and numerous smaller islands and islets in the United States Virgin Islands. The islands of St. Thomas and St. John were acquired between November 9, 2013 and November 19, 2013. The island of St. Croix was acquired between November 27, 2013 and December 10, 2013. The entire area was comprised of 88 planned flight lines and approximately 1669 flight line kilometers. LiDAR was collected at an average of 0.7 meter point spacing for all acquired project areas. The classification classes as available from the NOAA Digital Coast are: 1 (Unclassified), 2 (Bare-earth ground), 7 (Noise), 9 (Water), 10 (Ignored Ground, points close to breakline features), 16 (Overlap Water), 17 (Overlap Unclassified), 18 (Overlap Bare-earth ground). Hydro flattened breaklines and Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) are also available for download. Please see the Supplemental Information field below for links to these data sets.
