Field Activity 01LTS02

Identifier 01LTS02
Alternate names Gulf_Coast2
Purpose to collect lidar data
Location Northern Gulf of America (Gulf of Mexico)
Summary This is a non-bare earth data set. ASCII xyz point cloud data were produced from remotely sensed, geographically referenced elevation measurements cooperatively by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) along the coasts of Alabama, Florida (Panhandle), Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas in 2001. Lidar data is available on Digital Coast: https://coast.noaa.gov/dataviewer/#/lidar/search/where/id/525

Datasets compiled from multiple sources

Dataset name Equipment Description Dataset contact
Lidar_Shorelines_1998_2014 Airborne Topographic Mapper 3 (ATM3) Polyline shapefiles of Mean High Water (MHW) shorelines extracted from lidar elevation data from 1998–2014 Rachel E Henderson
Aerial_Shorelines_1940_2015 Airborne Topographic Mapper 3 (ATM3) Polyline shapefiles of Wet Dry Line (WDL) shoreline delineated from historical aerial imagery from 1940–2015 Rachel E Henderson
Transects_OpenOcean Airborne Topographic Mapper 3 (ATM3) Polyline shapefiles of DSAS generated shore normal transects for the open-ocean shoreline of Dauphin Island, with associated rates of change for three shoreline analyses: Lidar shoreline change (1998–2014), Aerial shoreline change (1940–2015), and combined Lidar and Aerial shoreline change (1940–2015) Rachel E Henderson
Transects_BackBarrier Airborne Topographic Mapper 3 (ATM3) Polyline shapefiles of DSAS generated shore normal transects for the back-barrier shoreline of Dauphin Island, with associated rates of change for three shoreline analyses: Lidar shoreline change (1998–2014), Aerial shoreline change (1940–2015), and combined Lidar and Aerial shoreline change (1940–2015) Rachel E Henderson
Baseline_OpenOcean Airborne Topographic Mapper 3 (ATM3) Open-ocean offshore baseline for generating shore-normal transects in DSAS Rachel E Henderson
Baseline_BackBarrier Airborne Topographic Mapper 3 (ATM3) Back-barrier offshore baseline for generating shore-normal transects in DSAS Rachel E Henderson
baseline Airborne Topographic Mapper 3 (ATM3) A line shapefile parallel to, and seaward of, the Breton Island 1869-2014 shorelines. The baseline serves as a starting point for the Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) to cast transects. Joseph F Terrano
shorelines Airborne Topographic Mapper 3 (ATM3) Line shapefiles of mean high water shorelines derived from NOAA T-Sheets, aerial imagery, and Lidar, for Breton Island, LA, dating from 1869 to 2014. There are 14 shapefiles, one for each available date. Joseph F Terrano
transects Airborne Topographic Mapper 3 (ATM3) Line shapefiles of transects generated from the DSAS rate of change program. Transects were generated for the analysis time periods: long-term (1869–2014), long-term historic (1869–1950), post Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet (1950–2014), pre/post Hurricane Katrina (2004–2005), and recent (2005–2014). Rate of change statistics from each analysis are joined to the corresponding transects. There are 5 shapefiles, one for time period. Joseph F Terrano
