Resource Abstract:
- description: NOAA's National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) 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. 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 a vertical tidal datum of Mean High
Water (MHW) or NAVD 88 and horizontal datum of World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS84). Grid spacings for the DEMs range from 1/3
arc-second (~10 meters) to 3 arc-seconds (~90 meters).; abstract: NOAA's National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) is building
