Coastal Topography--Northeast Atlantic Coast, Post-Hurricane Sandy, 2012

Derived products of a portion of the New York, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina coastlines, post-Hurricane Sandy (Sandy was an October 2012 hurricane that made landfall as an extratropical cyclone on the 29th), were produced by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) from remotely sensed, geographically referenced elevation measurements collected by Photo Science, Inc. (Delaware, Maryland, Virgina, and North Carolina) and Woolpert, Inc. (Fire Island, New York) using airborne lidar sensors. Post-storm coastal dune and mean-high-water shoreline features, binary point-cloud data, and digital elevation model (DEM) data are included in this Data Series.
