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 Hawaii Island, 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 Hawaii Island, Hawaii.docx” for detailed information.

These data were created as part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Office for Coastal Management's efforts to create an online mapping viewer called the Sea Level Rise and Coastal Flooding Impacts Viewer. It depicts potential sea level rise and its associated impacts on the nation's coastal areas. The purpose of the mapping viewer is to provide coastal managers and scientists with a preliminary look at sea level rise (SLR) and coastal flooding impacts. The viewer is a screening-level tool that uses nationally consistent data sets and analyses. Data and maps provided can be used at several scales to help gauge trends and prioritize actions for different scenarios. The Sea Level Rise and Coastal Flooding Impacts Viewer may be accessed at: http://www.coast.noaa.gov/slr This metadata record describes the Honolulu Weather Forecast Office (HFO WFO) digital elevation model (DEM), which is a part of a series of DEMs produced for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Office for Coastal Management's Sea Level Rise and Coastal Flooding Impacts Viewer described above. The DEMs created for this project were developed using the NOAA National Weather Service's Weather Forecast Office (WFO) boundaries. This DEM includes the best available lidar known to exist at the time of DEM creation that met project specifications for the Honolulu WFO, which includes the following islands in Hawaii: Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Maui, Lanai, and Hawaii. The DEM is derived from multiple sources. 1. 2006 Hawaii FEMA Lidar - acquired by FEMA along south shores of islands 2. 2007 USACE Pacific Islands Lidar: Hawaiian Islands - acquired by USACE and Hawaii State Civil Defense along north and windward facing shores of islands Hydrographic breaklines were delineated from LiDAR intensity imagery generated from the LiDAR datasets. The final DEM is hydro flattened such that water elevations are less than or equal to -0.5 meters. The DEM is referenced vertically to the Local Mean Sea Level (LMSL) tidal datum with vertical units of meters and horizontally to the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83). The resolution of the DEM is 3 meters.

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) contracted with Hawaii-based Aerial Surveying, Inc. to collect lidar-derived elevation data over the low-lying areas within the northwestern Hawaiian Islands (NWHI) during the summer of 2010. A separate contract issued to Aerial Surveying, Inc. by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) funded the lidar data processing and elevation data product development phases of the project. Lidar data provide high resolution digital elevation models that are used for many applications, including but not limited to sea level rise modeling, habitat assessments, and tsunami inundation modeling. In April 2011, NOAA Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument and NOAA Office for Coastal Management deployed a survey crew to the NWHI to collect high accuracy point data to validate the 2010 lidar data. The survey crew used survey-grade Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers to collect high accuracy elevation points. This metadata covers the information for Pearl and Hermes. This dataset contains lidar point clouds in LAS 1.2 format, classified in the following ASPRS standards as Class 1: Unclassified, Class 2: Ground, and Class 9: Water. The following are the equipment used to create the lidar data sets. Aircraft: Beechcraft Queen Air Lidar Systems: Riegl 140 and 240 Accuracy statements are based on areas of open terrain, with points classified as ground. The accuracy of each point is expected to meet the vertical accuracy standard, derived products may be less accurate in areas of extreme terrain and dense vegetation due to a lesser number of points defining the ground in these areas. Classified data sets such as this one may have varying posting due to some pulses not reaching the ground.

This metadata describes the Digital Elevation Model (DEM) 1 meter products derived from the airborne LiDAR data collected in August of 2015 for the Pelekane Watershed on the big island of Hawaii. The point cloud dataset was acquired with an Optech Orion M300 Airborne LiDAR Terrain Mapper with a nominal point spacing of 0.33 m. The DEM for this delivery was made from airborne LiDAR in LP360. A triangulated irregular network (TIN) was generated based on the LiDAR ground information (Using the tenderloin part of the point cloud only), and was later converted in a 1-meter raster file (DEM). Horizontal positions are referenced to UTM Zone 5 North (NAD83 PA11). Vertical elevations are in an orthometric datum derived from applying Geoid12b to NAD83(2011) ellipsoid heights and are in meters.

These data were collected by Woolpert using a Leica Hawkeye4X system. Data for Nihoa and French Frigate Shoals were acquired from February 7, 2021 through July 27, 2023. The data includes topobathy data in an LAS 1.4 format file classified as unclassified (1), ground (2), low noise (7), topo water surface (9), high noise (18), bathymetric point (40), bathymetric water surface (41), synthetic derived water surface (42), submerged object (43), International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) S-57 object (44), submerged aquatic vegetation (64), and bathymetric bottom temporal changes (65) in accordance with the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) classification standards.

Digital Terrain Model (bare earth) of parts of Maui and Molokai. Partial coverage Vexcel, Inc. LIDAR of Maui and Molokai were purchased by County of Maui to assist with three-dimensional modeling of structures in areas of higher development. 1'/px, LIDAR-derived, bare earth DEM/elevation raster of parts of Maui and Molokai – specifically, Central Molokai, Kahului, Kihei, Lahaina and Pukalani. XY units: feet, Z units: meters. Use Limitations: 1.Disclaimer - This dataset is being placed in the public domain. Any use is allowed except for re-sale. Neither Vexcel, Inc., the County of Maui, nor the State of Hawaii make any guarantees, expressed or implied, regarding its accuracy or fitness of use. Users should verify XYZ values through a licensed surveyor for any engineering application. This data should only be used as a guide, vs. a statement of fact regarding real-world conditions. 2.Vertical Datum - The originator of this LIDAR dataset, Vexcel Inc. of Boulder, Colorado referenced Z values to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88). NAVD88 is not recognized as a valid vertical reference for the state of Hawaii. Currently Hawaii has no official (de jure or de facto) vertical datum, and NOAA's National Geodetic Survey (NGS) recommends that elevations be referenced to the nearest NOAA tidal gauge. A legacy LIDAR dataset produced in 2013 by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) used NAD83(PA11) as its vertical reference. In theory this approach should result in better accuracy for the Z dimension as PA11 is a Pacific plate-centric datum. In comparing flat areas containing neither structures or vegetation, it was found that the Vexcel values sit approximately 4 feet above the USACE dataset. The vertical datum issue was brought to the attention of Vexcel, Inc. Vexcel used the 2013 USACE LIDAR as vertical control to correct their LIDAR data. The (corrected) .las data is shared as it was delivered. As stated above, the use of this data transfers all risks and assumption of responsibility to the user.

This layer group combines the maps that show the inland extend of coastal flooding (inundation) and the extent of flooding of low-lying inland coastal areas in the State of Hawaii due to 5 feet of sea level rise above mean higher high water (MHHW), created by subtracting the NOAA VDATUM MHHW surface from a digital elevation model (DEM). The low-lying areas are not hydrologically connected to the ocean but have the potential for flooding based on their election and require more detailed analysis. The resolution of the DEM is 3 meters and was derived from the best available LiDAR data sets known to exist at the time of creation. Water levels are shown as they would appear during the highest high tides (excluding wind-driven tides).Data produced in 2014 by NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM). These data do not consider future changes in coastal geomorphology and natural processes such as erosion, subsidence, or future construction. These data do not specify timing of inundation and are not appropriate for conducting detailed spatial analysis. The entire risk associated with the results and performance of these data is assumed by the user. These data should be used strictly as a planning reference and not for navigation, permitting, or other legal purposes.This layer group combines the maps that show the inland extend of coastal flooding (inundation) and the extent of flooding of low-lying inland coastal areas in the State of Hawaii due to 5 feet of sea level rise above mean higher high water (MHHW), created by subtracting the NOAA VDATUM MHHW surface from a digital elevation model (DEM). The low-lying areas are not hydrologically connected to the ocean but have the potential for flooding based on their election and require more detailed analysis. The resolution of the DEM is 3 meters and was derived from the best available LiDAR data sets known to exist at the time of creation. Water levels are shown as they would appear during the highest high tides (excluding wind-driven tides).Data produced in 2014 by NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM).
