        abstract:  This digital elevation model (DEM) 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. The DEMs created for this project were developed using the NOAA National Weather Service's Weather Forecast Office (WFO) boundaries. This metadata record describes the aggregate DEM and WFO specific metadata exists for each WFO. The DEM includes the best available lidar data known to exist at the time of DEM creation for each WFO. The DEMs are hydro flattened such that water elevations are less than or equal to 0 meters. The DEM is referenced vertically to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88) with vertical units of meters and horizontally to the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83). The resolution of the DEM is approximately 5 meters, though some areas may have higher resolution.
        purpose:  The NOAA Office for Coastal Management has developed high-resolution digital elevation models (DEMs) for use in the Center's Sea Level Rise And Coastal Flooding Impacts internet mapping application. These DEMs serve as source data sets used to derive data to visualize the impacts of inundation resulting from sea level rise along the coastal United States and its territories.
        credit:  Acknowledgment of the NOAA Office for Coastal Management as a data source would be appreciated in products developed from these data, and such acknowledgment as is standard for citation and legal practices for data source is expected.

                description:  1. Lidar source data and hydrographic breaklines were obtained and imported into an ESRI ArcGIS file geodatabase for each constituent county within each WFO boundary. Ground classified points (Class 2) and those classified as mudflats (Class 10; project specific) were used to reflect a bare earth surface. Hydrographic features were assigned elevation values at or below 0 meters. An ESRI Terrain was then generated from these source data. 2. The ESRI Terrain was converted to a DEM (Erdas Imagine .img file format) with a cell size of 3 meters. The DEM was reviewed in Global Mapper for incorrect elevations and artifacts introduced from source inputs or during the raster creation process. Corrections were applied to the DEM and reprocessed for further review. 3. All DEMs for each study area (WFO) were loaded into Global Mapper for a final review. The constituent DEMs were then checked to ensure complete coverage within the study area and that no issues existed along the boundary between adjacent DEMs. Once it was determined all DEMs were seamlessly edge-matched and no other artifacts were present, the constituent DEMs were mosaiced together, resampled to 5m and reprojected to the NAD83 geographic coordinate system.
