These data were collected by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Geodetic Survey (NGS), Remote Sensing Devision (RSD), Coastal Mapping Program (CMP) using a Riegl VQ880G system. Quantum Spatial Inc (QSI) was contracted by NOAA to process the topobathymetic LiDAR data. The NOAA Miami Florida Intracoastal Topobathy (Miami Intracoastal) data were acquired from 20170224 - 20170310 in five missions. The Miami Intracoastal dataset includes topobathy data in a LAS 1.2 format file with the following classification: unclassified (1), ground (2), noise (7), bathymetric bottom or submerged topography (26) and submerged feature (29) in accordance with project specifications. The contracted project consists of approximately 53,381 acres along the Atlantic Coast of Miami, Florida. This dataset delivery represents the full NOAA Miami Florida Intracoastal Topobathy LiDAR Processing area. LAS files were compiled by 500 m x 500 m tiles.
