EAARL Coastal Topography-Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana, 12-13 February 2011: Seamless (Bare Earth and Submerged)

This XYZ dataset, prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center, provides lidar-derived seamless (bare earth and submerged) topography for the Chandeleur Islands in Louisiana. Elevation measurements were acquired by the first-generation Experimental Advanced Airborne Research Lidar (EAARL) on February 12 and 13, 2011. The data were collected as part of a series of related lidar acquisitions using the EAARL system (Nayegandhi et al. 2010).
