Figure 5. Elevations (NAVD88) at three levels of detail for Little Lagoon Inlet, Ala. A, 30–m resolution digital elevations (Love and others, 2012); B, 1-m resolution lidar elevations (USACE, 2010); and C, fall 2012 2-m resolution stereoanalysis elevations (Aero-Metric, Inc., unpub. data, 2012). A gradational scale of elevations and depths is provided to illustrate the increased resolution at the inlet. |
