NOAA Office for Coastal Management Coastal Inundation Digital Elevation Model: San Diego (CA) WFO

This digital elevation model (DEM) 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. The DEM includes best available lidar data known to exist at the time of DEM creation that meets project specifications for those counties within the boundary of the San Diego, CA Weather Forecast Office (WFO), as defined by the NOAA National Weather Service. The DEM is derived from LiDAR data collected for the California Coastal Conservancy between 2009 and 2011. The DEM extent includes San Diego and Orange counties. Hydrographic breaklines used in the creation of the DEM were obtained from the California Coastal Conservancy. The DEMs are hydro flattened such that water elevations are less than or equal to 0 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.
