It depicts potential sea level rise and its associated impacts on the nation's coastal areas. The purpose of the mapping viewer is to provide coastal managers and scientists with a preliminary look at sea level rise (slr) and coastal flooding impacts. The viewer is a screening-level tool that uses nationally consistent data sets and analyses. Data and maps provided can be used at several scales to help gauge trends and prioritize actions for different scenarios. The Sea Level Rise and Coastal Flooding Impacts Viewer may be accessed at: http://www.coast.noaa.gov/slr This metadata record describes the Channel Islands, CA digital elevation model (DEM), which is a part of a series of DEMs produced for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Office for Coastal Management's Sea Level Rise and Coastal Flooding Impacts Viewer described above. This DEM includes the best available lidar known to exist at the time of DEM creation that met project specifications for the Channel Islands, CA. This includes the islands of Anacapa, Santa Barbara, San Miguel, Santa Rosa, and Santa Cruz. The DEM was produced from LiDAR acquired by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in 2010 for the Channel Islands. See Supplemental Information for additional information about this data set. Hydrographic breaklines were derived from LiDAR intensity imagery using intensity raster stereo models. The final DEM is hydro flattened such that water elevations are less than or equal to -1 meters. The DEM is referenced vertically to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88) with vertical units of meters and horizontally to the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83). The resolution of the DEM is approximately 5 meters. The NOAA Office for Coastal Management has developed high-resolution digital elevation models (DEMs) for use in the Center's Sea Level Rise and Coastal Flooding Impacts internet mapping application. These DEMs serve as source datasets used to derive data to visualize the impacts of inundation resulting from sea level rise along the coastal United States and its territories. Acknowledgment of the NOAA Office for Coastal Management as a data source would be appreciated in products developed from these data, and such acknowledgment as is standard for citation and legal practices for data source is expected. completed NOAA Office for Coastal Management (843) 740-1202 2234 South Hobson Ave Charleston SC 29405-2413 coastal.info@noaa.gov https://coast.noaa.gov WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link NOAA Office for Coastal Management Website NOAA Office for Coastal Management Home Page information pointOfContact NOAA Office for Coastal Management (843) 740-1202 2234 South Hobson Ave Charleston SC 29405-2413 coastal.info@noaa.gov https://coast.noaa.gov WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link NOAA Office for Coastal Management Website NOAA Office for Coastal Management Home Page information custodian notPlanned EARTH SCIENCE > LAND SURFACE > GEOMORPHIC LANDFORMS/PROCESSES > COASTAL PROCESSES > FLOODING EARTH SCIENCE > LAND SURFACE > GEOMORPHIC LANDFORMS/PROCESSES > COASTAL PROCESSES > SEA LEVEL CHANGES EARTH SCIENCE > LAND SURFACE > TOPOGRAPHY > TERRAIN ELEVATION > DIGITAL ELEVATION/TERRAIN MODEL (DEM) theme Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Science Keywords 23.3 CONTINENT > NORTH AMERICA > UNITED STATES OF AMERICA > CALIFORNIA place Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Location Keywords 23.3 Bathymetry/Topography DEM Digital Elevation Model elevation flooding inundation lidar sea level rise topography theme Anacapa Island California Channel Islands Offshore Los Angeles, California San Miguel Island Santa Barbara Island Santa Cruz Island Santa Rosa Island US place DOC/NOAA/NOS/OCM > Office of Coastal Management, National Ocean Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2017-04-24 publication 8.5 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2026.

Horizontal accuracy testing is not performed on the DEM. Lidar source data assumed to meet 1 meter horizontal accuracy. Vertical Positional Accuracy The DEM is derived from the source lidar data. Vertical accuracy is not tested on the DEM. Project specifications require all source lidar data used in constructing the DEM to meet FEMA Specifications for Flood Hazard Mapping. Completeness Report A visual qualitative check was performed to ensure data completeness. All available lidar data known at the time of DEM creation that meets project specifications has been used to develop the DEM. Known data gaps may exist where lidar coverage was incomplete. Conceptual Consistency Data covers the tile scheme provided for the project area. Elevation data checked for anomalous elevation values outside expected range. The data set listed below was used to develop the DEM.

Hydrographic breaklines derived from LiDAR intensity imagery using intensity raster stereo models, were supplied with the lidar data. 2012-01-01T00:00:00 Class 2, ground LiDAR points are exported from the LAS files into an Arc Geodatabase (GDB) in multipoint format. Hydro breaklines are assigned an elevation of -1 meters and loaded into an Arc GDB. An ESRI Terrain is generated from these inputs. 2012-01-01T00:00:00 The ESRI Terrain is converted to 5 separate DEMs in Erdas image file format with a cell size of 3 meters. The DEMs are reviewed in Global Mapper for incorrect elevations and artifacts that are introduced from source inputs or during the raster creation process. Corrections are applied to the DEMs and reprocessed for review. 2012-01-01T00:00:00 All DEMs are loaded into Global Mapper for the last review. During this last review, an analyst checks to ensure full, complete coverage, no issues along DEM boundaries, DEMs seamlessly edge-match, and that there are no remaining processing artifacts in the dataset. Once approved, DEMs are re-projected to the NAD83 geographic coordinate system. The 5 separate DEMS are converted to one DEM. 2012-01-01T00:00:00 For data distribution purposes, NOAA OCM converted the cell resolution of the DEM from 3 meters to 5 meters. 2012-01-01T00:00:00
