CI Strategy 1Validate Geospatial Information to Improve Model Grid Development Northern Gulf Coastal Hazards CollaboratoryAnnual Meeting 2013 USM DDEM Team: Wiggert, Dodd & O’Brien See O’Brien et al. poster: “A Circa 2011 Bathymetric Dynamic Digital Elevation Model for the Northern Gulf of Mexico” NG-CHC Annual Meeting, 12-14 June 2013
Outline • Stage 1 • Basis: NGDC Coastal Relief Model • Ingest: Regional High Resolution DEMs in the Northern Gulf of Mexico • Outcome: 1/3, 1 and 3 arc-second NGCHC BDDEM • Stage 2 • Ingest: NOS Bathymetric Surveys (2002-2011) for LA/MS/AL Methods examples • Outcome: 1/3, 1 and 3 arc-second yearly updates of the NGCHC BDDEM • Web Access via OpenDAP and FTP • Open Source Software Toolkits NG-CHC Annual Meeting, 29-30 May 2012
Stage 1: CRM + DEMs • The basis for the Stage 1 effort is Volume 4 of the National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) CRM released in 2001(3 arc-sec) • Stage 1 entailed ingesting all of the NGDC DEMs that were released subsequent to the Volume 4 CRM • These were: • Northern Gulf Coast (1 arcsec) • Biloxi, Mobile, SE Louisiana & New Orleans (1/3 arcsec) • Final Stage 1 build (shown below) is at 1/3 arcsec • Available on DMS THREDDS Server • 1 arcsec and 3 arcsec versions also provided. NG-CHC Annual Meeting, 12-14 June 2013
2008 2009 2005 2011 2004 2007 2010 2002 2003 2006 Stage 2: NOS Surveys by Year • Inventory of NOS surveys available in the LA-MS-AL region was taken (Total of 113 available) • BDDEM updates have been generated for each year • Vertical datum is unified to NAVD88 • Full resolution is 1/3 arcsec (8.4 GB gzipped) • 1 arcsec (1 GB gzipped) and 3 arcsec (190 MB) NOTE: At the Equator, 1 arcsec = 30.87 m NG-CHC Annual Meeting, 12-14 June 2013
Depth (m) Bathymetry Difference (2009 - 2004) • With individually saved years of the Stage 2 build, exploration of the temporal evolution of updated bathymetry is possible • Here, the difference between the 3 arcsec Stage 2 builds for 2009 and 2004 are shown • Upper figure is for the MS-AL region, with a difference range of ± 2 meters • Lower figure is for the LA-MS region, with a difference range of ± 5 meters • Time frame choice is set with objective to highlight the impact of Katrina, Gustav and Ike with benefit of the NOS survey results released in 2009 • NOTE: Difference relative to 2004 does not equate to a bathymetry change over 5-year period (i.e., the depth change is relative to last-performed survey) Red -> Shallower in 2009 Blue -> Deeper in 2009 NG-CHC Annual Meeting, 12-14 June 2013
Web Accessible BDDEM Products • Stage 1 and Stage 2 BDDEM products are available on the DMS THREDDS Server (Parrotfish) and/or the DMS FTP Server (Moray) • The provision of products at varying resolution is done so that if 1/3 arcsec is more than needed, reduced resource downloads can be accommodated • Stage 1 updates at resolutions of 1/3, 1 and 3 arcsec are available at: • http://parrotfish.ssc.usm.edu:8080/thredds/catalog/ParrotfishThreddsData/ngchc/chcBuild/stage1/catalog.html • Stage 2 annual updates at resolutions of 1 and 3 arcsec are available at: • http://parrotfish.ssc.usm.edu:8080/thredds/catalog/ParrotfishThreddsData/ngchc/chcBuild/stage2/catalog.html • Stage 2 annual updates at resolutions of 1/3 arcsec are available via anonymous FTP • Server: moray.dms.usm.edu • File path: NGCHC/bathDDEM/stage2/1_3_Arc NG-CHC Annual Meeting, 29-30 May 2012
Open Source Software Tools • This effort is in progress NG-CHC Annual Meeting, 29-30 May 2012
Extra NG-CHC Annual Meeting, 12-14 June 2013
NGDC High Resolution DEMs in the Northern Gulf of Mexico (NGOM) • Aspects of note: • Data formats are variable • Unify within an updated base elevation model for the NG-CHC DDEM • Inconsistent Datums • Vertical Datums should be unified • Ascertain observational basis • DEMs are constructed from NOS, USACE and OCS data sets • Identify whether the higher resolution DEMs are constructed through informed interpolation • Is higher resolution data supporting these higher resolution DEM products?
