  1. The Integration of Bathymetry, Topography, and Shorelineand the Vertical Datum Transformations Behind it Charting and Mapping the Land-Sea Interface

  2. Some Problems with Charting and Mapping the U.S. Coastal Zone“95,000 miles of Coastline !” Outdated data ( and low resolution) - bathymetry (NOS) [outside the navigation channels] - topography (USGS) NOAA and USGS products do not match [especially the shoreline] Difficulty measuring a consistently definedshoreline Limited resources for new data (95,000 miles!) Incompatibility between data sets from local sources (e.g., federal, state, county, city) A geospatial reference frame for other coastal data sets that is less consistent and accurate than is needed Affecting a variety of coastalapplications (in addition to navigation products): -- hurricane evacuation planning -- permitting -- local, state, and national boundaries -- habitat restoration -- shoreline change analysis -- assessing and determining setback lines -- erosion, accretion, renourishment -- natural hazards

  3. Applications for Integrated Bathymetric/Topographic/Shoreline • Hurricane evacuation planning • Permitting • Assessing and determining setback lines • Determining local, state, and national boundaries • Habitat restoration • Erosion, accretion, nourishment • Shoreline Change Analysis • Analyzing storm impacts • Analyzing environmental and natural resources • Emergency Response and Impact Assessment • Navigation Products and Services Florida Marine Spill Analysis System Habitat Assessment

  4. Marine Boundaries in the U.S.

  5. Inconsistent Shorelines Inconsistency between shorelines on NOAA and USGS products NOAA Shoreline plotted on a USGS Topo Sheet

  6. “the beginning”The Tampa Bay Bathymetric/Topographic Demonstration Project Partners: NOS: OCS, NGS, CSC, CO-OPS USGS: NMD (incl. EROS Data Ctr) Others: UNH, FMRI, users Mapping the Land-Sea Interface

  7. NOS Bathymetric Data Except for in and around the navigation channels, the bathymetric data are from the 1950s. NOS needs to be able to take advantage of other data sources. This is typical all around the country. In the nearshore areas the data are old.

  8. USGS Topographic Data The original topographic data for the Tampa Bay area are also primarily from the 1950s, with some 1960s and early 1970s data. This is also typical all around the country. In many areas the topographic data are old.

  9. NOS Shoreline Data High-Resolution Up-to-Date Shoreline from various Airborne and Satellite Techniques in Tampa Bay (NGS/RSD) For some areas the shoreline data are much more recent, but shoreline measurement has its own special problems. In addition to the April 1999 airborne photogrammetry and the SPIN2 satellite data, shoreline data sets will be derived (and inter-compared) from: airborne lidar data, airborne hyperspectral data, IKONOS satellite data, SAR data, and SHOALS (bathymetric lidar) data.

  10. A Different Problem with Shoreline Keeping up with changes in Manmade Shoreline Nautical Chart 1977 Photogrammetry 1998 Image from Spin2 1999 Photogrammetry Satellite images can help spot the changes, but is the resolution good enough for all purposes?

  11. How to cost-effectively map 95,000 miles of U.S. coastline? NOS alone can’t acquire all the new bathymetry needed, and NOS will always have to give priority to navigational channels in ports. Thus, NOS needs to be able to take advantage of other good quality data sources. (“3rd-Party Data”) [as does USGS also] What prevents NOS from using “3rd-Party Data” ? - standards - commonverticaldatums

  12. All Bathymetric and Topographic Elevation Data is georeferenced to a Vertical DatumDatums Arise From Relative Measurements, I 25 20 15 10.0 10 5.0 5.0 5 0.0 0 Datum A
