Resource Abstract:
- description: NGDC's U.S. Coastal Relief Model (CRM) provides the first comprehensive view of the U.S. coastal zone integrating
offshore bathymetry with land topography into a seamless representation of the coast. The CRM spans the U.S. East and West
Coasts, the northern coast of the Gulf of Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Hawaii, reaching out to, and in places even beyond, the
continental slope. Bathymetric and topographic data sources include: NGDC's NOS hydrographic surveys, multibeam bathymetry,
and trackline bathymetry; the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS); and other federal government agencies and academic institutions.
Bathymetric contours from the International Bathymetric Chart of the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico project were also
used. Digital elevation models (DEMs) of the Great Lakes, Southern Alaska, and high-resolution DEMs of U.S. coastal communities
and territories are also available.; abstract: NGDC's U.S. Coastal Relief Model (CRM) provides the first comprehensive
