Best Practices
Seamlessly integrating bathymetric and topographic data to support tsunami modeling and forecasting efforts. Ocean Globe, Chapter 2. Challenges in building coastal digitial elevation models, Eakins, B.W. and P.R. Grothe, 2014. 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.
