NTHMP DEMs
Nikolski, Alaska 1/3 arc-second MHHW DEM
NOAA's National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) is building high-resolution digital elevation models (DEMs) to support individual coastal States as part of the National Tsunami Hazard Mitigation Program's (NTHMP) efforts to improve community preparedness and hazard mitigation. These integrated bathymetric-topographic DEMs are used to support tsunami and coastal inundation mapping. 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 various vertical and horizontal datums depending on the specific modeling requirements of each State. For specific datum information on each DEM, refer to the appropriate DEM documentation. Cell sizes also vary depending on the specification required by modelers in each State, but typically range from 8/15 arc-second (~16 meters) to 8 arc-seconds (~240 meters).
Developed for the University of Alaska at Fairbanks (UAF), Geophysical Institute for tsunami and coastal inundation modeling efforts for the State of Alaska.

Digital Elevation Models Mosaic (Individual DEMs)

publisher
The DEM Global Mosaic is an image service providing a global, seamless bathymetry/topography mosaic that includes NCEI's ETOPO 2022, NCEI's Continuously Updated DEM (CUDEM), and other NCEI-stewarded DEMs, along with regional grids such as IBCAO, IBCSO and the Hawaiian Island Multibeam Synthesis (University of Hawaii). This service provides elevation/depth values in meters; for a visualization of the data, please see the related DEM Global Mosaic (Color Shaded Relief) service. There are 5 related image services providing access to Digital Elevation Models: DEM Mosaic (Individual DEMs), DEM Global Mosaic (Elevation Values), DEM Global Mosaic (Color Shaded Relief), CUDEM Mosaic (Elevation Values), and CUDEM Mosaic (Color Shaded Relief). NCEI builds and distributes high-resolution, coastal digital elevation models (DEMs) that integrate ocean bathymetry and land topography to support NOAA's mission to understand and predict changes in Earth's environment, and conserve and manage coastal and marine resources to meet our Nation's economic, social, and environmental needs. They can be used for modeling of coastal processes (tsunami inundation, storm surge, sea-level rise, contaminant dispersal, etc.), ecosystems management and habitat research, coastal and marine spatial planning, and hazard mitigation and community preparedness. This service is a general-purpose global, seamless bathymetry/topography mosaic. It combines DEMs from a variety of near sea-level vertical datums, such as mean high water (MHW), mean sea level (MSL), and North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88). No conversion/harmonization of vertical datums was performed. Because the mosaic contains 'overviews' for performance, individual DEMs cannot be separated from the others. Individual DEMs, or smaller subsets, are available in the companion DEM Mosaic (Individual DEMs) image service. By default, the DEMs are drawn in order of cell size, with higher-resolution grids displayed on top of lower-resolution grids. If overlapping DEMs have the same resolution, the newer one is shown. Please see NCEI's corresponding DEM Footprints feature service for polygon footprints and more information about the individual DEMs used to create this composite view.

dataset
Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report
The horizontal accuracy of bathymetric and topographic features in the DEM is dependent upon the accuracy of the input datasets used to determine corresponding cell values. Topography: 10 to 30 meters. Positional accuracy of input topographic datasets limits accuracy of corresponding cell values in DEM. DCRA topography: less than 1 meter. NASA SRTM 1 arc-second DEM: 15 to 30 meters. USGS 2 arc-second NED DEM: ~60 meters. NASA 1 arc-second ASTER DEM: ~30 meters. DEM cell-value relative-contribution factors: SRTM: 10, ASTER: 1, NED: 1. Bathymetry: 30 to several hundreds of meters. Positional accuracy of input bathymetric datasets limits accuracy of corresponding cell values in DEM. Early 20th-century NOS hydrographic soundings are limited by sparseness of deep-water soundings, and potentially large position accuracy of pre-satellite (i.e., GPS) navigation: tens to several hundreds of meters. Where present, multibeam survey data supplant NOS hydrographic sounding data values in the DEM. ENC extracted soundings are dependent of nautical chart scale. ETOPO1 extracted soundings have a positional accuracy of 2 kilometers. DEM cell-value relative-contribution factors: Multibeam: 10, NOS hydrographic soundings: 1, ETOPO1: 1.
Vertical Positional Accuracy Report
The vertical accuracy of bathymetric and topographic features in the DEM is dependent upon the accuracy of the input datasets used to determine corresponding cell values. Topography: less than 1 to 15 meters. Vertical accuracy of input topographic datasets limits accuracy of corresponding cells in DEM. DCRA topography: less than 1 meter. SRTM 1 arc-second DEM: 16 meters. NGDC digitized elevation points are dependent on reference elevation data, SRTM 1 arc-second DEM, USGS topographic map at a scale of 1:250,000, and aerial photos making the vertical accuracy range from 2 up to 10's of meters. DEM cell relative-contribution factors: SRTM: 10, ASTER: 1, NED: 1. Bathymetry: 1 meter to 5% of water depth. Vertical accuracy of input bathymetric datasets limits accuracy of corresponding cells in DEM. Early 20th-century NOS hydrographic soundings are limited by sparseness of deep-water soundings, and potentially large position accuracy of pre-satellite (i.e., GPS) navigation: several tens of meters. Multibeam swath sonar data have a vertical accuracy between 1% and 5% of water depth. Where present, multibeam data supersede NOS hydrographic sounding data values in DEM. ETOPO1 elevations have an estimated accuracy from 1 to 10's of meters. DEM cell relative-contribution factors: Multibeam surveys: 10, NOS hydrographic soundings: 1, ETOPO1 extracted bathymetric elevations : 1. Gridding interpolation to determine cell values between sparse NOS hydrographic soundings in deep water degrades the vertical accuracy of deep-water elevations.
NGDC made every effort to obtain all available digital topographic and bathymetric datasets in the region for use in building the DEM.
Datasets were visually compared internally and externally (with other overlapping datasets and satellite images and maps) in ESRI ArcGIS for identification of anomalous elevations or data inconsistencies. Where elevation inconsistencies occurred, the most recent and/or highest resolution data set was selected for use in that region. Elevations in the older and/or lower-resolution datasets were deleted prior to building the DEM.
All datasets obtained by NGDC were converted to common horizontal and vertical datums of WGS84 geographic and Mean Higher High Water, respectively, using FME. They were also converted to common file format, ESRI point shapefiles, for visualization and inspection.

Datasets were visually inspected with ArcGIS for identification and editing of data anomalies. Datasets were then compared with overlapping datasets to ensure data consistency.
2014-06-14T00:00:00
xyz files of the bathymetric data were surfaced using GMT's 'surface' tool onto a 1/3 arc-second grid that interpolated to fill empty cells. Points extracted every 10 meters along the coastline were also included to ensure that the bathymetric grid reached zero at the coast. The resulting Arc ASCII grid was imported into ArcGIS and clipped to the coastline to remove values over land.
2014-06-24T00:00:00
xyz files for each input dataset were gridded using MB-System's 'mbgrid' tool, which utilizes a high-tension spline interpolation method to fill grid cells with no input elevation values. Preferential weighting was given to more recent, higher-accuracy datasets.
2014-06-24T00:00:00
The DEM was qualitatively evaluated by converting to UTM-zone coordinates (units of meters horizontally and vertically) and then creating a slope grid to identify gridding artifacts in the DEM. Comparisons to source data sets were also used to assess quality of gridding.
