Use limitation statement:
These data depict the elevations at the time of the survey and are only accurate for that time. Users should be aware that
temporal changes may have occurred since this data set was collected and some parts of this data may no longer represent actual
surface conditions. Users should not use this data for critical applications without a full awareness of its limitations.
Any conclusions drawn from analysis of this information are not the responsibility of NOAA or any of its partners. These data
are NOT to be used for navigational purposes.

Use Limitation
While every effort has been made to ensure that these data are accurate and reliable within the limits of the current state
of the art, NOAA cannot assume liability for any damages caused by any errors or omissions in the data, nor as a result of
the failure of the data to function on a particular system. NOAA makes no warranty, expressed or implied, nor does the fact
of distribution constitute such a warranty.
