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. Kelly S.

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. NGDC made every effort to obtain all available digital topographic and bathymetric datasets in the region for use in building the DEM. The horizontal accuracy of bathymetric and topographic features in the DEM is dependent upon the accuracy of the input datasets used to determine corresponding cell values. Topography: 30 meters. Positional accuracy of input topographic datasets limits accuracy of corresponding cell values in DEM. USGS SRTM DEM: 10 to 20 meters. DEM cell-value relative-contribution factors: NED: 1, SRTM: 1,000. Bathymetry: 30 to several tens of meters. Positional accuracy of input bathymetric datasets limits accuracy of corresponding cell values in DEM. NOS, NOS hydrographic LiDAR and USACE surveys (primarily in dredged shipping channels): about 1 meter. Early 20th-century NOS hydrographic soundings are limited by sparseness of deep-water soundings, and potentially large position accuracy of pre-satellite (i.e., GPS) navigation: tens to several tens of meters. Morphologic change in inland rivers and along the coast also degrades the positional accuracy of NOS soundings. Where present, hydrographic LiDAR and USACE survey data supplant NOS hydrographic sounding data values in the DEM. DEM cell-value relative-contribution factors: Hydrographic LiDAR: 1,USACE surveys: 100, NOS hydrographic soundings: 1. 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. Topography: 10 to 15 meters. Vertical accuracy of input topographic datasets limits accuracy of corresponding cells in DEM. USGS NED DEM: 7 and 15 meters. SRTM DEM: 16 meters. DEM cell relative-contribution factors: SRTM: 1,000 NED: 1. Bathymetry: 0.3 meters to 5% of water depth. Vertical accuracy of input bathymetric datasets limits accuracy of corresponding cells in DEM. GPS-navigated NOS, NOS hydrographic LiDAR and USACE surveys (primarily in dredged shipping channels): about 0.1 meter. Early 20th-century NOS hydrographic soundings are limited by sparseness of deep-water soundings, and potentially large position accuracy of pre-satellite (i.e., GPS) navigation: several meters. Where present, hydrographic LiDAR and USACE survey data supersede NOS hydrographic sounding data values in DEM. DEM cell relative-contribution factors: Hydrographic LiDAR: 1, USACE data: 100, NOS hydrographic soundings: 1. Gridding interpolation to determine cell values between sparse NOS hydrographic soundings in deep water degrades the vertical accuracy of deep-water elevations.

Datasets were then compared with overlapping datasets to ensure data consistency. 20080804 xyz files of the bathymetric data were surfaced using GMT's 'surface' tool onto a 1 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. 20080808 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. 20080811 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. 20080812 Raster ASCII text Grid Cell 3600 3240 1 0.000278 0.000278 Decimal degrees D_WGS_1984 WGS_1984 6378137.000000 298.257224 Mean High Water 0.01 meters Explicit elevation coordinate included with horizontal coordinates Mean High Water 0.01 meters Explicit depth coordinate included with horizontal coordinates DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NGDC > National Geophysical Data Center, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce Barry W.
