Metadata for all data are embedded in grid folders as Esri FGDC metadata in xml format. - "Highest_Hit” – Contains grid and info folders associated with Esri digital elevation models of highest-hit lidar data. Metadata for all data are embedded in grid folders as Esri FGDC metadata in xml format. - "Intensity" - Contains geoTIFF files associated with intensity images derived from highest-hit lidar returns. Metadata for all data are embedded in TIFF header as Esri FGDC metadata in xml format. Some intensity files have been compressed using .zip format for space requirements. - "Metadata_XML" - XML formatted metadata files listing FGDC metadata for lidar dataset. Lidar contractor's project data report is included. - "Shapefiles" – Esri-format geometry files of 7.5-minute USGS quadrangles of Oregon, 1/100th USGS quadrangles of Oregon, as well as 7.5-minute quadrangle shapefiles delineating 2008, 2009-2010, and 2010 data extents. - “about-LDQ-poster-11x17in.pdf" – PDF document contains explanation of USGS tiling schemes associated with Oregon Lidar Consortium data as well general information concerning lidar data. Data collected outside the Oregon Lidar Consortium may not follow the same tiling scheme. In such instances, the non-OLC standard scheme is provided in shapefile format. - "Lidar_Series_Index_Map_Rogue_Valley_2012.pdf" - PDF document showing published quadrangles for this DOGAMI LDQ series. To view PDF files: The index map and poster are in Adobe Acrobat portable document format (.pdf). A free Adobe Acrobat Reader can be obtained from Adobe Systems Inc., San Jose, CA: http://www.adobe.com To view data files: All data are format specific to Esri GIS format. Data must be viewed using specialty software capable of viewing .shp, geoTIFF, and Esri grid formats. Note: Data projection information can be located within each embedded raster metadata file (.prj). For the purposes of FEMA flood studies, these data were delivered in the projection of UTM Zone 10, NAD83 (HARN), NAVD88, Geoid03. ****************************************************************** FUNDING 2010 data and data products were collected in whole or part through funding arrangements provided by Grant, Cooperative Agreement, Purchase Order, and Intergovernmental and Interagency Agreement between DOGAMI and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). 2009 data and data products were collected in whole or part through funding arrangements provided by Grant, Cooperative Agreement, Purchase Order and Intergovernmental and Interagency Agreement between DOGAMI, the Oregon Department of Transportation, and the City of Medford. 2007 lidar data were funded through the Rogue Valley Council of Governments (RVCOG). Data have been clipped and resampled to minimize overlap with more recent (2009; released 2010) data. 2006 lidar data were funded by the US Forest Service. Data have been clipped to minimize overlap with more recent data. 2002 lidar data were funded by the Bureau of Land Management. Data have been clipped to minimize overlap with more recent data.
