Hurricane Katrina Impact Studies: Pre- and Post-Storm 3D Topography
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
In a cooperative research program, the USGS, NASA and the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) are using airborne laser mapping systems to survey coastal areas before and after hurricanes.
Description
As the aircraft flies along the coast, a laser altimeter (lidar) scans a several hundred meter wide swath of the earth's surface acquiring an estimate of ground elevation approximately every square meter. The elevation data from different flights can be compared to determine the patterns and magnitudes of coastal change (erosion, overwash, etc.) and the loss (or gain) of buildings and infrastructure.
Results come from two lidar systems, the USACE's Compact Hydrographic Airborne Rapid Total Survey (CHARTS) and NASA's Experimental Advanced Airborne Research Lidar (EAARL). [Summary provided by the USGS.]
