Digital image mosaics of the nearshore coastal waters of selected areas on the island of O'ahu generated using aerial photographs and SHOALS airborne lidar bathymetry data

This portion of the data release contains digital image mosaics along the southeast coast of O'ahu. Digital mosaics at 1-foot (0.3048-meter) resolution, including the areas of Waikiki, Diamond Head, Wai'alae, Maunalua Bay, and Portlock, were generated from 1:10K aerial photography and are presented in one zip file (oahu_1ft.zip) that also contains lower-resolution 'browse' graphics of each image mosaic area, as well as associated metadata. All of the digital image areas (from Waikiki to Portlock) were combined into one large digital mosaic at 1-meter resolution, which is presented in another zip file (oahu_1m.zip) that includes a 'browse' graphic of the image mosaic area and associated metadata. The 1-meter resolution digital image mosaic was also combined with lidar bathymetry data to create a shaded-relief image, which is presented in a third zip file (oahu_1m_shaded.zip), along with a 'browse' graphic of the image mosaic area and associated metadata.
