Methods

Airborne lidar datasets were collected on 6-October-2015 and 22-March-2016 using the MASS (Modular Aerial Sensing System [Reineman et al., 2009; Melville et al., 2016]) outfitted with a Riegl Q680i scanning lidar and Novatel SPAN-LN200 GPS-IMU. Vertical and horizontal lidar point accuracy was estimated from the boresight calibration at 1.8-2.4 cm, and 5.7-11.2 cm respectively. Lidar data were processed into 1-m resolution digital elevation models.

Funding

APY was funded by the California Department of Parks and Recreation, Division of Boating and Waterways (DPR-DBW) and the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). LL, WKM and lidar flights were funded by ONR grant (N00014-15-1-2871) to WKM. Lidar data analysis and wave data (as part of the Coastal Data Information Program) were funded by DPR-DBW and USACE
