The document details a bathymetry survey conducted at Kalaupapa harbor on Moloka‘i and Kaluanui Point using the SHOALS (Scanning Hydrographic Operational Airborne Lidar Survey) system. The SHOALS system, operated by the US Army Engineer Joint Airborne Lidar Bathymetry Technical Center of Expertise (JALBCTX), utilizes airborne lidar to measure water depths by emitting laser pulses and calculating the time difference between surface and bottom returns. The Kalaupapa harbor data includes depth contours in meters, converted to feet by multiplying by 3.28. The Kaluanui Point survey aimed to map depths from the shoreline to -30m, with data collected in November 2000. The metadata specifies the system's operational parameters, including flight altitude and speed, and outlines the physical principles of lidar bathymetry, noting limitations based on water clarity and bottom material. The document emphasizes the importance of acknowledging JALBCTX when using the data and provides contact information for the metadata creator, Eddie Culpepper of USACE.
