These integrated bathymetric-topographic DEMs are used to support tsunami forecasting and modeling efforts at the NOAA Center for Tsunami Research, Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL). The DEMs are part of the tsunami forecast system SIFT (Short-term Inundation Forecasting for Tsunamis) currently being developed by PMEL for the NOAA Tsunami Warning Centers, and are used in the MOST (Method of Splitting Tsunami) model developed by PMEL to simulate tsunami generation, propagation, and inundation. Bathymetric, topographic, and shoreline data used in DEM compilation are obtained from various sources, including NGDC, the U.S. National Ocean Service (NOS), the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and other federal, state, and local government agencies, academic institutions, and private companies. DEMs are referenced to the vertical tidal datum of Mean High Water (MHW) and horizontal datum of World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS84). Grid spacings for the DEMs range from 1/3 arc-second (~10 meters) to 3 arc-seconds (~90 meters). Developed for the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL), NOAA Center for Tsunami Research program in support of NOAA's tsunami forecasting and warning efforts. completed DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NGDC > National Geophysical Data Center, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce DEM Information dem.info@noaa.gov pointOfContact asNeeded http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/dem/squareCellGrid/getGraphic/4090 Perspective view of DEM JPEG Earth Science > Oceans > Bathymetry/Seafloor Topography > Seafloor Topography Earth Science > Oceans > Bathymetry/Seafloor Topography > Bathymetry Earth Science > Oceans > Bathymetry/Seafloor Topography > Water Depth Earth Science > Land Surface > Topography > Terrain Elevation Earth Science > Land Surface > Topography > Topographical Relief Earth Science > Oceans > Coastal Processes > Coastal Elevation theme NASA/GCMD Earth Science Keywords DEM > Digital Elevation Model theme NASA/GCMD Platform Keywords DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NGDC > National Geophysical Data Center, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce WDC/MGG, BOULDER > World Data Center for Marine Geology and Geophysics, Boulder theme NASA/GCMD Data Center Keywords H: 1 meter - < 30 meters V: < 1 meter theme NASA/GCMD Data Resolution Keywords Coastal Relief Gridded elevations Integrated bathymetry and topography theme Uncontrolled Ocean > Pacific Ocean > Gulf of Alaska > Southeast Alaskan Islands Vertical Location > Land Surface Vertical Location > Sea Floor place NASA/GCMD Location Keywords Astoria Columbia River Oregon Washington place Uncontrolled Not to be used for navigation.

Topography: Positional accuracy of input topographic datasets limits accuracy of corresponding cell values in DEM. Vertical Positional Accuracy Report The vertical accuracy of bathymetric and topographic features in the DEM is dependent upon the accuracy of the input datasets used to determine corresponding cell values. Vertical accuracy of input topographic datasets limits accuracy of corresponding cells in DEM. Gridding interpolation to determine cell values between sparse NOS hydrographic soundings in deep water degrades the vertical accuracy of deep-water elevations. NGDC made every effort to obtain all available digital topographic and bathymetric datasets in the region for use in building the DEM. Datasets were visually compared internally and externally (with other overlapping datasets and satellite images and maps) in ESRI ArcGIS for identification of anomalous elevations or data inconsistencies. Where elevation inconsistencies occurred, the most recent and/or highest resolution data set was selected for use in that region. Elevations in the older and/or lower-resolution datasets were deleted prior to building the DEM. All datasets obtained by NGDC were converted to common horizontal and vertical datums of WGS84 geographic and Mean High Water, respectively, using proj4, gdal and VDatum. They were also converted to common file format, ESRI point shapefiles, for visualization and inspection. 2012-04-05T00:00:00 Barry W.

Datasets were then compared with overlapping datasets to ensure data consistency. 2012-04-15T00:00:00 xyz files of the bathymetric data were surfaced using GMT's 'surface' tool onto a 1/3 arc-second grid that interpolated to fill empty cells. Points extracted every 10 meters along the coastline were also included to ensure that the bathymetric grid reached zero at the coast. The resulting Arc ASCII grid was imported into ArcGIS and clipped to the coastline to remove values over land. 2012-04-16T00:00:00 xyz files of the topographic data were surfaced using GMT's 'surface' tool onto a 1/3 arc-second grid that interpolated to fill empty cells. Points extracted every 10 meters along the coastline were also included to ensure that the bathymetric grid reached zero at the coast. The resulting Arc ASCII grid was imported into ArcGIS and clipped to the coastline to remove values over water. 2012-04-16T00:00:00 xyz files for each input dataset were gridded using MB-System's 'mbgrid' tool, which utilizes a high-tension spline interpolation method to fill grid cells with no input elevation values. Preferential weighting was given to more recent, higher-accuracy datasets. Gridding was performed in quadrants, each with a 5% data buffer. The grids were imported in ArcGIS and seamlessly merged to create the final DEM. 2012-04-17T00:00:00 The DEM was quantitatively evaluated by comparing with source datasets and with elevation values extracted from NGS geodetic monuments. It was visually evaluated by converting to UTM-zone coordinates (units of meters horizontally and vertically) and then creating a slope grid to identify gridding artifacts in the DEM. 2012-04-20T00:00:00 Source Contribution: coastline and bathymetric sounding data ; Source Type: online Electronic Navigational Charts and Raster Nautical Charts 2010-01-01 publication DOC/NOAA/NOS/OCS > Office of Coast Survey, National Ocean Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce originator Citation URL http://www.nauticalcharts.noaa.gov/ OCS Electronic Navigational Charts and Raster Nautical Charts Digital database of NOAA nautical chart information. download 2012-01-01 Source Contribution: hydrographic surveys ; Source Type: online NOS Hydrographic Surveys 2012-01-01 publication DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NGDC > National Geophysical Data Center, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce originator Citation URL http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/bathymetry/hydro.html NOS Hydrographic Survey Database Digital database of NOS hydrographic surveys that date back to the late 19th century. download 1851-01-01 2009-01-01 Source Contribution: bare-earth DEMs ; Source Type: online USGS National Elevation Dataset 2012-01-01 publication DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NGDC > National Geophysical Data Center, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce originator Citation URL http://ned.usgs.gov/ USGS National Elevation Dataset The NED is a seamless dataset with the best available raster elevation data of the conterminous United States, Alaska, Hawaii, and territorial islands. download 1925-01-01 2012-01-01 annually 2012-06-22 This metadata was automatically generated from the Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata: Extensions for Remote Sensing Metadata standard (version FGDC-STD-012-2002) using the 2012-08-07. f version of the FGDC RSE to ISO 19115-2 transform for DEMs. Last Translation from FGDC 2012-08-07T15:55:41.868-06:00 Last Metadata Review Date: 2012-06-22 Kelly Carignan DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NGDC > National Geophysical Data Center, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce kelly.carignan@noaa.gov pointOfContact Light Detection and Ranging Sound Navigation and Ranging Tsunami Inundation Gridding Project Digital Elevation Model
