In this project, we use the Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data to create the Digital Elevation Model (DEM). The LiDAR data can be downloaded through the Data Access Viewer of NOAA ( https://coast.noaa.gov/dataviewer/#/lidar/search/). For Maui, the majority of the DEM is created using the data of 2013 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) National Coastal Mapping Program (NCMP) Topobathy LiDAR – Local Mean Sea Level (LMSL). For some areas not covered by this data set, we use the LiDAR data from 2006 FEMA LiDAR: Hawaiian Islands and 2007 JALBTCX Hawaii LiDAR: North Coasts of Hawaii (Big Island), Kauai, Maui, Molokai, Oahu, which are accessed in the Data Access Viewer of NOAA. Please read “Description of Digital Elevation Model (DEM) for Maui, Hawaii.docx” for detailed information.

This DEM includes the best available lidar data known to exist at the time of DEM creation that met project specifications, for Maryland, west of the Chesapeake Bay. This DEM falls in the Baltimore/Washington (LWX) WFO. The DEM covers the following Maryland counties: Baltimore City (portion), Howard (portion), Anne Arundel, Charles, and St. Mary's. This DEM does not include the counties that are also in the LWX WFO of Baltimore, Calvert, and Harford. This is because the lidar data for these counties are licensed and unavailable for distribution to the general public.

The Sea Level Rise and Coastal Flooding Impacts Viewer may be accessed at: https://coast.noaa.gov/slr. This metadata record describes the Marsh Migration data displayed in the SLR Viewer. These data represent the potential distribution of each wetland type based on their elevation and how frequently they may be inundated under potential future SLR scenarios, from 0 to 10ft of SLR. As sea level rises, higher elevations will become more frequently inundated, allowing for marsh migration landward. At the same time, some lower-lying areas will be so often inundated that the marshes will no longer be able to thrive, becoming lost to open water. These data are based on the assumption that specific wetland types exist within an established tidal elevation range, based on an accepted understanding of what types of vegetation can exist given varying frequency and time of inundation, as well as salinity impacts from such inundation. The data were created using the NOAA OCM Coastal Change Analysis Program (CCAP) land cover data, the SLR Viewer's digital elevation models, and NOAA VDatum tidal surfaces. The data are available in 0.5ft increments of net sea level change, from 0 to 10ft. To determine the appropriate level, the user must identify a SLR scenario and an applicable accretion rate for the area of interest. The easiest way to do this is to go into the SLR Viewer's Marsh Migration tab; select a location, SLR scenario, and timeframe; and identify the closest available 0.5ft increment to what the viewer shows. For more information, see the tutorial at https://coast.noaa.gov/elearning/marshmigration/. Data are available for download at https://coast.noaa.gov/htdata/raster1/landcover/bulkdownload/slr_wetland/.

NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information is building high-resolution digital elevation models (DEMs) for select U.S. coastal regions. These integrated bathymetric-topographic DEMs are used to support tsunami forecasting and warning 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.The DEM Global Mosaic is an image service providing access to bathymetric/topographic digital elevation models stewarded at NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI), along with the global GEBCO_2014 grid: http://www.gebco.net/data_and_products/gridded_bathymetry_data. 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. This service is a general-purpose global, seamless bathymetry/topography mosaic. It combines DEMs from a variety of near sea-level vertical datums, such as mean high water (MHW), mean sea level (MSL), and North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88). Elevation values have been rounded to the nearest meter, with DEM cell sizes going down to 1 arc-second. Higher-resolution DEMs, with greater elevation precision, are available in the companion NAVD88: http://noaa.maps.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=e9ba2e7afb7d46cd878b34aa3bfce042 and MHW: http://noaa.maps.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=3bc7611c1d904a5eaf90ecbec88fa799 mosaics. By default, the DEMs are drawn in order of cell size, with higher-resolution grids displayed on top of lower-resolution grids. If overlapping DEMs have the same resolution, the newer one is shown. Please see NCEI's corresponding DEM Footprints map service: http://noaa.maps.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=d41f39c8a6684c54b62c8f1ab731d5ad for polygon footprints and more information about the individual DEMs used to create this composite view.

The DEMs created for this project were developed using the NOAA National Weather Service's Weather Forecast Office (WFO) boundaries. Because the WFO boundaries can cover large areas, the WFO DEM was divided into smaller DEMs to ensure more manageable file sizes. The San Francisco Bay/Monterey (CA) WFO DEM was split into three smaller DEMs. They are divided along county lines and are: 1. San Francisco Bay/Monterey (CA) WFO - Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties 2. San Francisco Bay/Monterey (CA) WFO - Contra Costa, San Francisco, Alameda, San Mateo, and Santa Clara Counties 3.

NOAA's National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) is building high-resolution digital elevation models (DEMs) to support individual coastal States as part of the National Tsunami Hazard Mitigation Program's (NTHMP) efforts to improve community preparedness and hazard mitigation. These integrated bathymetric-topographic DEMs are used to support tsunami and coastal inundation mapping. 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 various vertical and horizontal datums depending on the specific modeling requirements of each State. For specific datum information on each DEM, refer to the appropriate DEM documentation. Cell sizes also vary depending on the specification required by modelers in each State, but typically range from 8/15 arc-second (~16 meters) to 8 arc-seconds (~240 meters).The DEM Global Mosaic is an image service providing access to bathymetric/topographic digital elevation models stewarded at NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI), along with the global GEBCO_2014 grid: http://www.gebco.net/data_and_products/gridded_bathymetry_data.

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).
