Below are links to the files that make up the 2019 USACE NCMP Topobathy Lidar DEM: Alaska dataset. The files containing geospatial indices, metadata, etc., are listed first, followed by the files. To download in bulk, it is suggested you use a program such as wget (example below), uget, or your favorite download manager. The geospatial index file in shapefile format has a URL attribute that some GIS programs can use to download files. You can also subset the data, make derived products, and change projection, datum, etc., using the Digital Coast Data Access Viewer (use the add to cart, the link to bulk download will take you here).
Example to download entire data set using wget (note: sufficiently new and trusted pre-compiled Windows versions can be hard to find):
wget -np -r -nH -L --cut-dirs=1 https://noaa-nos-coastal-lidar-pds.s3.amazonaws.com/dem//9055/USACE_AK_DEM_2019/index.html
This will give you the directory structure starting with USACE_AK_DEM_2019. Wget is a command-line program and the output will
be to the directory you run it in. More options and information can be found at https://www.gnu.org/software/wget/manual/wget.html.
The other options in the example mean:
You can also use the uGet program with the list of URLs in file urllist9055.txt. More information on using uGet is in the Bulk Lidar Download GeoZone blog post.
The total size to download all the files is 5.2G.
