                name:  NOAA NOS Estuarine Bathymetry DEMs
                issueIdentification:  San Francisco Bay
        abstract:  A 1/3 arc-second Mean Lower Low Water bathymetric DEM of NOS hydrographic survey data in San Francisco Bay.
        purpose:  The objective of this project is to update NOAA NOS Estuarine Bathymetry Digital Elevation Models (DEMs), gridded representations of bathymetry for various estuaries in the United States, that were initially created in 1998 by the now defunct NOS Special Projects Office. Although these data still represent the ?best available? gridded depictions of bathymetry in some locations, they are primarily based on antiquated historical data and do not include many modern survey data, in particular, high resolution BAG format hydrographic data. NCEI will identify more recent NOS hydrographic survey data if available and update existing DEMs compliant with NOAA Data Directives and meeting the requirements for Data Management, Discoverability, Accessibility, Documentation, Readability, and Data Preservation and Stewardship as per the Big Earth Data Initiative (BEDI).

        abstract:  A map service showing the location and coverage of land and seafloor digital elevation models (DEMs) available from NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI). NCEI 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. Layers available in the map service: Layers 1-4: DEMs by Category (includes various DEMs, both hosted at NCEI, and elsewhere on the web); Layers 6-11: NCEI DEM Projects (DEMs hosted at NCEI, color-coded by project); Layer 12: All NCEI Bathymetry DEMs (All bathymetry or bathy-topo DEMs hosted at NCEI).

        abstract:  This is an ArcGIS image service showing color shaded relief visualizations of high-resolution digital elevation models (DEMs) of U.S. coastal regions. 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.

        report:  (DQ_AbsoluteExternalPositionalAccuracy)
            nameOfMeasure:  Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report
            evaluationMethodDescription:  The horizontal accuracy of bathymetric features in the DEM is dependent upon DEM cell size and the accuracy of the input datasets used to determine corresponding cell values. Early 20th-century NOS soundings are limited by sparseness of soundings, and potentially large positional accuracy of pre-satellite (i.e., GPS) navigation - several meters.

        report:  (DQ_AbsoluteExternalPositionalAccuracy)
            nameOfMeasure:  Vertical Positional Accuracy Report
            evaluationMethodDescription:  The vertical accuracy of bathymetric features in the DEM is dependent upon DEM cell size and the accuracy of the input datasets used to determine corresponding cell values. Gridding interpolation to determine cell values between sparse soundings degrades the vertical accuracy of corresponding elevations.
            result: (missing)
        report:  (DQ_CompletenessCommission)
            evaluationMethodDescription:  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.

                description:  The original DEM footprint shapefile was edited and converted to a raster with elevation value set to zero and used as a mask to clip out a subset of the source DEM for the final gridded bathymetry data product.
