Purpose
|
|
This data was collected as part of an effort to map beach topography
|
|
efficiently and cheaply.
|

|
Notes
|
|
The Airborne LIDAR Assessment of Coastal Erosion (ALACE)
|
|
project was a partnership between NOAA, NASA, and U.S. Geological
|
|
Survery (USGS). It has been collecting baseline coastal topographic
|
|
data for the conterminous U.S. since 1996. NOAA left the partnership
|
|
after the fall 2000 season, but USGS and NASA continue to collect data
|
|
for research purposes. This data may eventually be available via LDART.
|
|
The ALACE collections are typically targeted at a narrow strip of sandy
|
|
beach and are usually a kilometer or less in width. Many areas have
|
|
both baseline data and post-storm data. In general, this data has not
|
|
been checked with ground control, but has undergone internal
|
|
consistency checks.
