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 a variety of vertical tidal datums, generally Mean High Water, and horizontal datum of World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS84). Cell size is based on user requirements and generally range from 1 arc-second (~30 meters) to 24 arc-seconds. purpose: The DEMs can be used for modeling of coastal processes (tsunami inundation, storm surge, sea-level rise, contaminant dispersal, etc.), ecosystems management and habitat research, coastal and marine spatial planning, and hazard mitigation and community preparedness. status: (MD_ProgressCode) underDevelopment pointOfContact: (CI_ResponsibleParty) individualName: Barry W.

NOAA's National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) builds and distributes high-resolution coastal digital elevation models (DEMs) that integrate ocean bathymetry and land topography to support NOAA's mission to understand and predict changes in Earth's environment, and conserve and manage coastal and marine resources to meet our Nation's economic, social, and environmental needs. They can be used for modeling of coastal processes (tsunami inundation, storm surge, sea-level rise, contaminant dispersal, etc.), ecosystems management and habitat research, coastal and marine spatial planning, and hazard mitigation and community preparedness. DEMs included in this visualization: High-resolution DEMs of select U.S. coastal communities and surrounding areas. Most are at a resolution of 1/3 to 1 arc-second (approx 10-30 m); U.S. Coastal Relief Model: A 3 arc-second (approx 90 m) comprehensive view of the conterminous U.S. coastal zone, Puerto Rico, and Hawaii; Southern Alaska Coastal Relief Model: A 24 arc-second (approx. 500 m) model of Southern Alaska, spanning the Bering Sea, Aleutian Islands, and Gulf of Alaska. This map service can be used as a basemap. It has a transparent background, so it can also be shown as a layer on top of a different basemap. Please see NGDC's corresponding DEM Footprints map service for polygon footprints and more information about the individual DEMs used to create this composite view. pointOfContact: (CI_ResponsibleParty) individualName: Jesse Varner organisationName: DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NGDC > National Geophysical Data Center, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce contactInfo: (CI_Contact) address: (CI_Address) electronicMailAddress: Jesse.Varner@noaa.gov role: (CI_RoleCode) pointOfContact descriptiveKeywords: (MD_Keywords) keyword: DATA ANALYSIS AND VISUALIZATION > GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS > WEB-BASED GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS keyword: DATA MANAGEMENT/DATA HANDLING > DATA SEARCH AND RETRIEVAL keyword: DATA ANALYSIS AND VISUALIZATION > VISUALIZATION/IMAGE PROCESSING type: (MD_KeywordTypeCode) theme thesaurusName: (CI_Citation) title: NASA/GCMD Services Keywords date: citedResponsibleParty: (CI_ResponsibleParty) organisationName: NASA positionName: GCMD User Support Office contactInfo: (CI_Contact) address: (CI_Address) electronicMailAddress: gcmduso@gcmd.gsfc.nasa.gov onlineResource: (CI_OnlineResource) linkage: http://gcmd.nasa.gov/MailComments/MailComments.jsf?rcpt=gcmduso name: GCMD Feedback Form description: Have a Comment for the GCMD? function: (CI_OnLineFunctionCode) information role: (CI_RoleCode) custodian citedResponsibleParty: (CI_ResponsibleParty) organisationName: contactInfo: (CI_Contact) onlineResource: (CI_OnlineResource) linkage: http://gcmd.nasa.gov/learn/keyword_list.html name: GCMD Keywords Page description: This page describes the NASA GCMD Keywords, how to reference those keywords and provides download instructions. function: (CI_OnLineFunctionCode) information role: (CI_RoleCode) custodian resourceConstraints: (MD_Constraints) useLimitation: These data not to be used for navigation.
