Beach Topography—Fire Island, New York, Pre-Hurricane Sandy, January 2012: Ground Based Lidar (ASCII XYZ Point Data)

The U.S. Geological Survey St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center (USGS-SPCMSC) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Field Research Facility (USACE-FRF) of Duck, North Carolina collaborated to gather alongshore ground-based lidar beach topography at Fire Island, New York. This high-resolution, elevation dataset was collected on January 30, 2012, and was funded by SPCMSC. The USGS data release containing the aforementioned dataset includes the resulting, processed elevation point data (XYZ) and an interpolated digital elevation model (DEM).
