Abstract
|
In March 2011 The National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC), an office of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) developed an integrated bathymetric-topographic digital elevation model (DEM) of Hanalei, Hawaii. A 1/3 arc-second DEM of Hanalei, Hawaii referenced to mean high water (MHW) was carefully developed and evaluated. The DEM will be used as input for the Method of Splitting Tsunami (MOST) model developed by Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) NOAA Center for Tsunami Research (http://nctr.pmel.noaa.gov) to simulate tsunami generation, propagation and inudation. The MHW DEM was generated from diverse digital datasets in the region for tsunami inundation modeling, as part of the tsunami forecast system. Short-term Inundation Forceasting for Tsunamis (SIFT) currently being developed by PMEL for the NOAA Tsunami Warning Centers. This report provides a summary of the data sources and methodology used in developing the DEM.
