Published by National Geodetic Survey | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: May 16, 2026 at 10:52 PM | Dataset Last Updated: December 15, 2016 at 12:00 AM
These data were collected by the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration National Geodetic Survey Remote Sensing Division using a Riegl VQ-820G system. The data were acquired from 201410- 201505 in fifty three missions along the coastline of Puerto Rico. The project consists of 525 square miles along the shores of Puerto Rico. This dataset contains 5721 - 500 m x 500 m lidar tiles. The data classifications for the data are: 1 - unclassified, 2 - ground, 7 - topo noise, 25 - water column, 26 - bathymetric bottom or submerged topography, 27 - water surface, and 30 - International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) S-57 objects.
