2019 NOAA NGS Topobathy Lidar DEM: Tampa Bay, FL

Published by National Geodetic Survey | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: August 02, 2026 at 04:54 PM | Dataset Last Updated: January 01, 2021 at 12:00 AM
These data were collected by Leading Edge Geomatics using a RIEGL VQ880-G / RIEGL VQ880-GII topobathymertic lidar system. The data were acquired from November 22, 2019 to December 20, 2019. The data include topobathy data in LAS 1.4 format classified as created, unclassified (1); ground (2); noise (low or high) (7); bathymetric bottom (40); water surface (41); derived water surface (42); submerged object (43); no bathymetric bottom found (45); and temporal (46) in accordance with project specifications. The project was delivered in two blocks: Block 1: The project consists of approximately 311 square miles of data within the Tampa Bay inlet, to include Old Tampa Bay, Hillsborough Bay and the Interbay Peninsula. This dataset contains 883 1000 m x 10000 m lidar tiles. The Block 1 delivery consists of 419 tiles for the eastern half of the AOI. Block 2: The project consists of approximately 311 square miles of data within the Tampa Bay inlet, to include Old Tampa Bay, Hillsborough Bay, and the Interbay Peninsula. This dataset contains 905 1000 m x 1000 m lidar tiles. The Block 2 delivery consists of 486 tiles for the western half of the AOI.
