2022 NOAA Topobathy Lidar: Morro Bay, CA

Description

Morro Bay 2022 Topobathymetric Lidar project data were collected by NV5 Geospatial (NV5) using a Riegl VQ880GII system. Morro Bay 2022 acquisition occurred on 20220614 in two missions. The Morro Bay 2022 dataset includes topobathymetric lidar data in a LAS format 1.4, point data record format 6, with the following classifications in accordance with project specifications and the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) classification standards with the topobathymetric lidar domain profile: 1 - unclassified 1O - edge clip 2 - ground 7W - low noise 9 - NIR water surface 18W - high noise 40 - bathymetric bottom or submerged topography 41 - Green water surface 43 - Submerged object, not otherwise specified (For Morro Bay, oyster reefs have this classification, even though exposed at low tide) 45 - water column This dataset also includes lidar intensity values, number of returns, return number, time, and scan angle. The 100 meter buffered project area covers approximately 4,215 acres along the south central Pacific Coast of California near the town of Los Osos. LAS files were compiled in 500 m x 500 m tiles and clipped to the project boundary. The final classified lidar data were used to create topobathymetric bare earth DEMs in GeoTIFF format with 1m pixel resolution. This delivery of the Morro Bay 2022 dataset represents an area covering 97 - 500 m x 500 m LAS tiles clipped to the project boundary. This Project was completed in partnership between NOAA OCM and the NEP. In addition to these lidar point data, the bare earth Digital Elevation Models (DEM) created from the lidar point data are also available. These data are available for custom download at the link provided in the URL section of this metadata record.
