Data
NOAA CSC Coastal IfSAR
Public and licensed data distributed by the NOAA Coastal Services Center
The NOAA Coastal Services Center provides public IfSAR data that were collected as part of the Southern California Wetlands Recovery Project (SCWRP). The SCWRP used high-resolution elevation data to help define the extent of wetland and riparian zones. Licensed data are provided for a large portion of California, the Gulf Coast region, and the eight major islands in Hawaii. The licensed data were purchased to provide data in areas lacking lidar-based elevation data and to test the technology.
