NGS - Integrated Coastal Ocean Mapping Data

Lidar data collected along the middle to northern outer and inner banks of North Carolina up to Virginia Beach, Virginia by the National Geodetic Survey is now available. The lidar was collected in conjunction with high resolution RGB and Infra-Red imagery that will be available soon at http://maps.csc.noaa.gov/dataviewer/viewer.html.

Oregon High Density Data

Data for the Portland metro and surrounding areas has been added to the online archives. Much of this data, and future additions to the data set, are very high density with up to 8 pts/meter^2.

Northwest Florida County Data

Data is now available online for the inland portions of Okaloosa, Bay, Jefferson, and surrounding counties. This data does not cover the coastal regions of the counties, which is being collected by the Florida Department of Emergency Management.

Topographic and Bathymetric Data Inventory for the Gulf of Mexico Now Available

The Gulf Inventory is a "snapshot" of availability as of November 15, 2007, and it identifies the location, collection date, and sources of available data sets. This resource focuses on high-resolution data sources and is available as part of "A Roadmap to a Seamless Topobathy Surface." More information is available at www.csc.noaa.gov/topobathy/inventory

Central and Northern California IfSAR Data Now Available to Coastal Resource Managers

Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (IfSAR) data covering the coast of California from the Oregon border to Santa Barbara County are now available. This data set is licensed and requires a signed license agreement before data delivery. State and local agencies and nongovernmental organizations that conduct coastal management activities are covered by NOAA's license. Southern California IfSAR data, covering the entire area from Santa Barbara through San Diego counties, are available without license. For further information, contact Keil.Schmid@noaa.gov.

Bare Earth Data for Indiana and Pennsylvania

A bare earth product was created from the JALBTCX data collected along the Great Lakes shoreline in Pennsylvania and parts of Indiana . A similar data set is being created for the data collected along the Great Lakes shoreline in Michigan.

Digital Coast Data Access Viewer

A new viewer and download tool for Lidar data and other center data is now online at http://maps.csc.noaa.gov/dataviewer/viewer.html.

Coastal-Elevation Listserver

The Coastal-Elevation email list server has been created to help the coastal elevation community stay informed about new data sources, shared resources, and applications. To join, please follow the link http://csc.noaa.gov/mailman/listinfo/coastal-elevation.

Coming Soon

• Texas Coast Lidar Data for 2006 - data contributed by Texas Natural Resources Information System cover most of the coastal counties in Texas.
• Portsmouth NH lidar data from the National Geodetic Survey - data will be processed to provide bare earth classifications
• Topo-Bathy Inventory for the Southeastern United States
