The State of Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys contracted with Fairbanks Fodar to acquire photogrammetric digital surface models (DSMs) and co-registered orthorectified aerial images (orthoimages) for the west coast of Alaska in support of coastal vulnerability mapping. Users can access the data, as well as additional metadata, from the DGGS website: <http://doi.org/10.14509/30088>.

Data are in their raw format; for community-level data where vertical controls have been rigorously applied, are higher resolution, and have fewer gaps, see Overbeck and others (2016; <http://doi.org/10.14509/29548>). General data collection, processing, and accuracy assessment procedures in this release are described in a data release overview (Overbeck and others, 2017; <http://doi.org/10.14509/29744>). Horizontal and vertical accuracies of the orthoimagery and DSMs are evaluated using photo-identifiable checkpoints and elevation checkpoints collected by RECON, LLC (Overbeck and others, 2016). Accuracy assessment values reported for each alongshore segment are the mean residual between non-vegetated ground control and checkpoints and the DSM. Known, uncorrected anomalies over water bodies and cloud or snow covered areas exist throughout the project area. See accompanying report for comprehensive metadata, including discussion of the number of ground control checkpoints, accuracy statistics, and known anomalies.
Positional (horizontal) accuracy has been determined by identifying ground control points visually and comparing their location to the GPS-collected ground control, quantified as the horizontal radial root mean square error (RMSE; ASPRS, 2015). The positional accuracy at 95% confidence level was also computed according to ASPRS (2015). Horizontal accuracy statistics are available in table format in the accompanying report. Since no ground control points were used to vertically or horizontally control these data, all ground control and checkpoints points are considered checkpoints for this accuracy assessment. Data quality have been assessed relative to checkpoints collected simultaneously with the aerial survey described in the community scale data release (Overbeck and others, 2016). Although these checkpoints are focused at community locations and at large alongshore intervals, they have been used to assess the accuracy of these data at a regional scale. Photo-identifiable points were used to determine the horizontal accuracy of these data (table 1), while all points were used to determine the vertical accuracy unless the ground cover was irregular and non-vegetated (e.g. boulder piles) (table 2). Data within this alongshore segment may overlap with data in an adjacent segment, and data segments may not overlap seamlessly.
Elevation data have not been vertically shifted to best fit checkpoint elevations. Instead, GPS points have been used to assess the data quality only. The approach will allow the user to make informed decisions about how to vertically adjust the DSMs to best align with local vertical datums and/or meet project accuracy requirements. Vertical accuracy was determined at the 95% confidence level according to ASPRS (2015), using checkpoints for non-vegetated and vegetated locations separately. Vertical accuracy values relative to the reported altitude datum are available in table format in the accompanying report. The accompanying report provides a table of vertical accuracy values relative to the reported altitude datum.
This data release provides continuous coastline data are in their raw format. Known issues are addressed in the accompanying reports. It is a supplement to Overbeck and others 2016; <http://dggs.alaska.gov/pubs/id/29548>, which provides high resolution for each coastal community.
