NOAA Office for Coastal Management Coastal Digital Elevation Model: Lake St. Clair

Description

These data were created as part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Office for Coastal Management's efforts to create an online mapping viewer called the NOAA Lake Level Viewer. It depicts potential lake level rise and fall 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 lake level change, coastal flooding impacts, and exposed lakeshore. 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 NOAA Lake Level Viewer may be accessed at: https://coast.noaa.gov/llv. This metadata record describes the Lake St. Clair 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 Lake Level Viewer described above. This DEM includes the best available lidar known to exist at the time of DEM creation that met project specifications. This DEM includes data for Macomb, St. Clair, and Wayne counties in Michigan. The DEM was produced from the following lidar data sets: 1. 2006, USACE NCMP Topobathy Lidar: Lake Erie (OH, PA), Lake Huron (MI) and Lake Michigan (Porter County, IN) 2. 2009, USGS Wayne and Washtenaw County Lidar 3. 2010, ARRA-MI_4SECounties 4. 2012, USACE NCMP Topobathy Lidar: Lake St. Clair (MI) 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 3 meters.
