Mayaguez, Puerto Rico
Abstract:
NOAA's National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) is building high-resolution digital elevation models (DEMs) for
select U.S. coastal regions. These integrated bathymetric-topographic DEMs are used to support tsunami
forecasting and warning efforts at the NOAA Center for Tsunami Research, Pacific Marine Environmental
Laboratory (PMEL). The DEMs are part of the tsunami forecast system SIFT (Short-term Inundation Forecasting
for Tsunamis) currently
being developed by PMEL for the NOAA Tsunami Warning Centers, and are used in the MOST (Method of Splitting Tsunami) model developed by PMEL to simulate tsunami generation, propagation, and inundation. 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
Purpose:
Developed for the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL), NOAA Center for Tsunami Research program in
support of NOAA's tsunami forecasting and warning efforts.

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.

Abstract:
A map service showing the location and coverage of land and seafloor digital elevation models (DEMs) available
from NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI). 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. Layers available in the map service: Layers 1-4: DEMs by
Category (includes various DEMs, both hosted at NCEI, and elsewhere on the web); Layers 6-11: NCEI DEM
Projects (DEMs hosted at NCEI, color-coded by project); Layer 12: All NCEI Bathymetry DEMs (All bathymetry
or bathy-topo DEMs hosted at NCEI).

Abstract:
This is an image service providing access to bathymetric/topographic digital elevation models stewarded at
NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI), with vertical units referenced to mean high
water (MHW). 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 provides
data from many individual DEMs combined together as a mosaic. By default, the rasters 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. Alternatively, a single DEM or group of DEMs can be isolated
using a filter/definition query or using the "Lock Raster" mosaic method in ArcMap. This is one of three
services displaying collections of DEMs that are referenced to common vertical datums: North American
Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88):
http://noaa.maps.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=e9ba2e7afb7d46cd878b34aa3bfce042, Mean High Water (MHW):
http://noaa.maps.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=3bc7611c1d904a5eaf90ecbec88fa799, and Mean Higher High Water:
http://noaa.maps.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=9471f8d4f43e48109de6275522856696. In addition, the DEM Global
Mosaic is a general-purpose global, seamless bathymetry/topography mosaic containing all the DEMs together.

Description:
The DEM was quantitatively evaluated by comparing with NGS geodetic monuments. 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.

Measure description:
The Data Stewardship Maturity Matrix (DSMM) is a unified framework that defines criteria for each of nine
components based on measurable practices, which can be used to apply a progressive, 6-level rating to an
individual dataset, representing stewardship maturity stages rated as Not Assessed or Not Available
(Level 0), adHoc (Level 1), minimum (Level 2), intermediate (Level 3), advanced (Level 4), and optimal
(Level

Data Stewardship Maturity Assessment was evaluated by the metadata content editor for the NOAA OneStop
project using the Scientific Data Stewardship Maturity Assessment Model Template v4.0.
