Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Horizons Inc. was contracted by EarthData International to collect ALS-40 Lidar data over the coastal area of Oahu, Hawaii. The project site was flown on October 21 and November 1, 8, 24, 27, and December 7, 2003, using aircraft 2636P. Lidar data was captured using an ALS-40 Lidar system, including an inertial measuring unit (IMU) and a dual frequency GPS receiver.
