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
      Purpose: 
          Developed for the University of Alaska at Fairbanks (UAF), Geophysical Institute for tsunami and coastal 
          inundation modeling efforts for the State of Alaska.

Either individual DEMs or small subsets can be accessed through this service. Function: Online function code: search Role: Role code: publisher Abstract: 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.

                  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.

              Description: 
                  xyz files of the bathymetric data were surfaced using GMT's 'surface' tool onto a 8/3 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.

              Description: 
                  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. Gridding was performed 
                  with a 5% data buffer. The grid was imported in ArcGIS to create the final DEM.

              Description: 
                  The DEM was quantitatively evaluated by comparing with source datasets. It was visually 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.
