2017 NOAA NGS Topobathy Lidar DEM (Interpolated): Fort Lauderdale to Miami (FL)

Published by Office for Coastal Management | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: December 08, 2025 | Last Modified: 2019-04-01T00:00:00.000+00:00
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), overlap default (19), overlap ground (20), overlap water column (21), water column (25), bathymetric bottom or submerged topography (26), submerged feature (29), and temporal bathy bottom (31) 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. The final classified LiDAR data were then used to create topobathymetric DEMs in IMG format with 1m pixel resolution. This Miami Intracoastal dataset represents an area covering 15 - 5000 m x 5000 m DEM tiles.
