Below is a brief overview of the Airborne Coastal Observatory (ACO) and the type of data collected. For more information on post processing, data quality assurance, software used, and summary of results please contact data@hakai.org The ACO is an aerial remote sensing platform used by the Hakai Institute to survey landscapes in detail. A Piper Navajo aircraft carries an array of integrated airborne mapping sensors installed to collect data in concert. The aircraft is operated and maintained by Kisik Aerial Surveys (Delta, BC).
