Description:
Abstract:
The National Geophysical Data Center assembled a gridded database referred to as the Coastal Relief Model (CRM). NGDC created the comprehensive data set by merging the US Geological Survey 3-arc-second DEMs with a compilation of hydrographic soundings covering the US East Coast. The Coastal Relief Model extends from the coastal state boundaries to as far offshore as the data will support a continuous view of the seafloor. One component of the NGDC database are 3-arc-second elevation grids. This dataset formed the basis for the creation of the Coastal Relief Model bathymetry image for the project GIS.
Purpose:
This image provides a color encoded view of the Coastal Relief Model for the project area and is used as a basemap data layer for overlaying the surficial sediment data.
