This mosaic, prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center, provides lidar-derived submerged topography for a portion of the submerged environs of Saint Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands. Elevation measurements were acquired by the second-generation Experimental Advanced Airborne Research Lidar (EAARL-B) on March 11, 19, and 21, 2014, in cooperation with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Coral Reef Conservation Program.

Depth calibration and validation of the Experimental Advanced Airborne Research Lidar, EAARL-B
The original National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Experimental Advanced Airborne Research
Lidar (EAARL), was extensively modified to increase the spatial sampling density and improve performance in
water ranging from 3–44 m. The new (EAARL-B) sensor features a 300% increase in spatial density, which was
achieved by optically splitting each laser pulse into 3 pulses spatially separa
