Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: These data were collected by the Joint Airborne Lidar Bathymetry Technical Center of Expertise using the CHARTS system. It is owned by the Naval Oceanographic Office and operated through contract. The system collects topographic lidar data at 20kHz and hydrographic data at 3kHz. The system also collects RGB imagery at 1Hz. The data was collected in July 2005, along the Alabama and Florida coastline. Data is published on Digital Coast https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/inport/item/50055
