ds765_metadata: Coastal Topography--Northeast Atlantic Coast, Post-Hurricane Sandy, 2012

Dune features (dune crest and toe elevations) and mean-high-water shoreline data for a portion of the New York, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina coastlines, post-Hurricane Sandy (Sandy was an October 2012 hurricane that made landfall as an extratropical cyclone on the 29th), were produced by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) from remotely sensed, geographically referenced elevation measurements collected by Photo Science and Woolpert using using airborne lidar sensors. Binary point-cloud data, as well as digital elevation models (DEM), were also produced by Photo Science and Woolpert and are included in this Data Series.
