2019 NOAA Lidar: Padilla Bay NERR and Skagit River Delta, WA
This dataset is a LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) point cloud of the coastal tidal parts of Skagit and Snohomish Counties in WA State. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Office for Coastal Management contracted with Tetra Tech to acquire and process airborne LiDAR over an area of about 186 square miles. Data was to be acquired within a 2 hour window of low tide. Deliverables included classified LiDAR point clouds, breaklines and digital elevation models (DEM). LiDAR data was acquired on 13 and 14 of August 2019. The coastal area was covered in one flight on 8/14 while the inland area was covered on 8/13. The coastal flight took place on 8/14 with a tide window between -0.7 and +0.5 foot. For the airborne LiDAR flight Tetra Tech subcontracted with Eagle Mapping. The data was acquired with a Riegl LMS VQ780i sensor. A ground control survey was conducted to collect calibration points and check points. For the ground survey, Tetra Tech contracted with Compass Data. The LiDAR data and derivative products were to be based on the USGS LiDAR Base Specifications. The coordinate reference system is UTM Zone 10N meters, NAD83(2011). The vertical datum is NAVD88 with Geoid12B.
