Abstract:
The coastal lidar archive includes data from both topographic and bathymetric lidar surveys along U.S. coasts.
Data in the archive span from the mid-1990s to the present and are collected using a variety of different
lidar systems. The extent of individual lidar surveys varies, ranging from shoreline strips to full county
coverage. Many different organizations have contributed to the lidar data collection, including federal,
state and local partners. Data are available for all U.S. coastal states and include multiple U.S.
territories such as Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, and American Samoa. NCEI is the long-term
archive for U.S. coastal lidar data distributed publicly through the NOAA Office for Coastal Management.
Purpose:
These topographic/bathymetric lidar data are made available to the public and coastal management community for
a wide variety of uses, such as morphologic change analyses, inundation mapping, habitat classification, and
visualization. NOTE: These data are NOT to be used for navigation.

Constraints:
Use limitation:
Lidar data arrive in various forms, which are standardized for storage purposes by format, datum, and
projection. Some data are further processed to generate bare-earth products. Errors are removed when
possible. Coverage varies from location to location—some areas have multiple years while others have
none. Users should not use the data for critical applications without a full awareness of their
limitations. NOAA reviews these data but does not guarantee reported vertical or horizontal accuracies.
Survey reports are linked in the metadata where they exist.
