Online_Linkage: http://doi.org/10.14509/30200 Description: Abstract: The State of Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (DGGS) produced a digital surface model (DSM) and an orthorectified aerial image over Valdez Glacier ice-dammed lake in support of glacial lake outburst flood hazard assessment and monitoring. Aerial photographs and Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) data were collected on October 12, 2016, and were processed using Structure-from-Motion (SfM) photogrammetric techniques to create orthoimagery and a DSM. The orthoimagery is a four-band, 8-bit unsigned GeoTIFF file. The orthoimagery has a GSD of 0.096 m per pixel, and the "No Data" value is set to 256. All files can be downloaded free of charge from the DGGS website (http://doi.org/10.14509/30200). Purpose: The data release is one of a series of Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (DGGS) publications to present elevation data collected prior to and after the annually recurring glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) at Valdez Glacier. The goal is to provide information for the City of Valdez to better understand the complex nature of these phenomena.

The end-user should be aware that pits and peaks are present in areas of some small water bodies, such as lakes and ponds, and that DSM data have not been hydro-flattened in these areas. Logical_Consistency_Report: Nearby CORS (National Geodetic Survey NGS - Continuously Operating Reference Stations) stations were used as vertical and horizontal control. Completeness_Report: The aerial photographic survey resulted in approximately 60 percent side lap and 80 percent end lap coverage, with an above-ground-level flying height of 1,100-2,000 m, and resulted in 818 photos with 0.096 m per pixel ground resolution. The total area surveyed was approximately 11 km2. This data release is complete. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: The average camera location error was 0.12 m in the X direction, 0.12 m in the Y direction, and 0.14 m in the Z direction, with a combined XY error of 0.17 m and resulting total error of 0.22 m. Lineage: Process_Step: Process_Description: Data acquisition - The State of Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys collected digital aerial photographic data on October 12, 2016, using a rotary-wing (Robinson 44) airborne platform. The aerial photographic survey resulted in approximately 60 percent side lap and 80 percent end lap coverage, with an above-ground-level flying height of 1,100-2,000 m, and resulted in 818 photos with 0.096 m per pixel ground resolution. The total area surveyed was approximately 11 km2. A Nikon D800 with an AF-Nikkor 28mm f/5D lens was used to collect 36.2-megapixel JPEG photographs (7360 x 4912 pixels per image), which were compressed for optimal quality. The aerial photographic survey was controlled with a custom intervalometer that linked the camera shutter release with Global Positioning System (GPS) event markers. GPS event markers were created by an onboard Topcon Net G3 receiver and a dual-band Topcon PG-A1 antenna mounted approximately 0.02 m above the camera, with a background sampling frequency of 5 Hz. A GPS base station with a Topcon Hyper-II receiver sampling at 1 Hz was placed approximately 10 km from the survey area to differentially correct the aerial survey GPS data using post-processing kinematic (PPK) methods. Ground control points were not collected. Process_Date: 2016 Process_Step: Process_Description: GNSS data processing - Aerial survey GNSS data (camera coordinates and trajectory data) were processed by DGGS using kinematic (PPK) methods in Topcon Positioning Systems, Inc., Magnet Office Tools commercial GNSS software. Nearby CORS (National Geodetic Survey (NGS) - Continuously Operating Reference Stations) stations were used as vertical and horizontal control. GNSS data were collected and processed in WGS84 (G1674) using the WGS84 ellipsoid. The base station position was corrected using the NGS Online Positioning User Service (OPUS) with IGS08 (EPOCH 2015.6162). Camera coordinates were converted to the North American Datum 1983 (NAD83; 2011) European Petroleum Survey Group Well Known Identification Number (EPSG) 6335 and the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88; Geoid12A; EPOCH 2010.00) using the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) VDatum tool (version 3.3). The coordinates are projected in UTM Zone 6 North and are in meters. The converted camera coordinates were manually correlated to image filenames to create a camera exterior orientation file for import into the photogrammetric software, Agisoft Photoscan Professional. The exterior orientation file provides the X, Y, and Z position for each photograph taken during the survey. Yaw, pitch, and roll information were not recorded during the flight. Process_Date: 2016 Process_Step: Process_Description: Photogrammetry - Aerial stereo-photographs were imported into the commercially available Agisoft Photoscan Professional software (Version 1.2.3 build 2331). Photos were processed in Photoscan on a Windows PC to align aerial photos, edit the sparse point cloud, optimize the bundle block adjustment, construct the dense point cloud and triangulated irregular network geometry, and export the mosaiced natural color (RGB) orthoimagery GeoTIFF.
