<p>These remotely sensed, geographically referenced elevation measurements of light detection and ranging (<abbr title="Light Detection and Ranging">lidar</abbr>)-derived seamless (bare-earth and submerged) topography datasets were produced by the U.S. Geological Survey (<abbr title="U.S. Geological Survey">USGS</abbr>), <abbr title="Saint">St</abbr>. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center, <abbr title="Saint">St</abbr>. Petersburg, Florida.</p>
<p>This project provides datasets acquired on August 7 and 8, 2012, for a portion of the Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana. An innovative airborne <abbr title="Light Detection and Ranging">lidar</abbr> system, known as the second-generation Experimental Advanced Airborne Research <abbr title="Light Detection and Ranging">Lidar</abbr> (<abbr title="Experimental Advanced Airborne Research Lidar">EAARL</abbr>-B), was used during data acquisition. The <abbr title="Experimental Advanced Airborne Research Lidar">EAARL</abbr>-B system is a raster-scanning, waveform-resolving, green-wavelength (532-nanometers) <abbr title="Light Detection and Ranging">lidar</abbr> designed to map nearshore bathymetry, topography, and vegetation structure simultaneously.</p>
