A-1-04-CT map of where navigation equipment operated

Information Specialist
Lynne Dingerson, NOAA
Equipment Used
LIDAR
Purpose
This data was collected as part of an effort to map beach topography
efficiently and cheaply.
Notes
Lidar data was collected along the coast of Connecticut for the
purpose of 3D visualization, elevation based analyses, and for feature
extractions. The data were collected at submeter resolution to provide
nominal 1 meter spacing of collected points. Two elevation data sets
were recorded for the data providing first surface return data, where
features that are above the ground - such as buildings, bridges, tree
tops, etc. - have NOT been eliminated, and a Bare Earth, or last return,
data set.
Got Help? For A-1-04-CT, we would appreciate any information on -- analog materials, chief scientist, contract, crew, days at sea, dive count, funding, information to be derived, kms of navigation, national plan, NGDC Info, owner, ports, project number, publications, scanned materials, seismic description, station count, station description, submersible, summary, tabulated info.
