Geological Survey, FISC St. Petersburg Publication_Date: Fall 2007 Title: EAARL Submarine Topography-Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary Edition: First Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: vector digital data Series_Information: Series_Name: Open File Report Issue_Identification: 2007-1395 Publication_Information: Publication_Place: St. Petersburg, Florida Publisher: U. S. Geological Survey Other_Citation_Details: The USGS, in cooperation with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the National Park Service (NPS provides the coastal management community with usable, useful digital elevation products. The USGS processes aircraft lidar data (provided by NASA), develops software tools and algorithms to use and analyze the data and make products available to the coastal management community through a variety of media, including the internet, CD-ROMs, DVDs and data reports.

Purpose: This contour shapefile was generated from a Lidar GeoTIFF. It shows contour lines at 1 meter intervals, and will be used to aid in the interpretation and display of Lidar data files. Supplemental_Information: See the source Lidar GeoTIFF tile for more specific accuracy information.

Security_Information: Security_Classification: Unclassified Native_Data_Set_Environment: Microsoft Windows XP Version 5.1 (Build 2600) Service Pack 2; ESRI ArcMap 9.2 Data_Quality_Information: Attribute_Accuracy: Attribute_Accuracy_Report: The expected accuracy of the measured variables is as follows: attitude within 0.07 degree, 3-cm nominal ranging accuracy, and verticle elevation accuracy of +/- 15cm (bare earth). Quality checks are built into the data-processing software. Logical_Consistency_Report: This layer was generated from an existing Lidar tile. Completeness_Report: Contour lines break where there was no data (value of -100) in the original Lidar tiles. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Raw elevation measurements have been determined to be within 1.5 meter horizontal accuracy. Processing steps (grid interpolation) may introduce additional error which has not been tested at the time of this publication. Vertical_Positional_Accuracy: Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Elevations of the DEM are vertically consistent with the point elevation data, +/- 15cm.

A Neighborhood Statistics operation was run on the Lidar GeoTIFF file in ArcMap. The settings for the Neighborhood Statistics operation were a 14x14 cell rectangle, using the mean as the statistic type and then output to a temporary raster grid.
