Process_Date: 20240716 Process_Step: Process_Description: View and prioritize source elevation datasets based on date of acquisition, spatial distribution, accuracy, and point density. In general, more recent dates of acquisition, wider spatial distribution, higher accuracy, and higher point density result in a higher priority level. Source elevation datasets are listed in their order of priority in the Lineage section of this metadata file and in the associated spatial metadata, where the first source dataset is of the highest priority. Source_Used_Citation_Abbreviation: 2019 USACE NCMP tblidar Source_Used_Citation_Abbreviation: 2023 NOS multibeam Source_Used_Citation_Abbreviation: 2024 USGS single beam Source_Used_Citation_Abbreviation: 2015 DGGS sfm Source_Used_Citation_Abbreviation: 2012 USGS ifsar Process_Date: 20240716 Process_Step: Process_Description: Prepare each source elevation dataset, as applicable. In Global Mapper software: A) transform the source dataset from its native horizontal and vertical spatial reference systems to the appropriate NAD83 (2011) Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) zone projection and to NAVD88 GEOID12B, respectively. Convert source elevations to NAVD88 by adding a local conversion constant to the native tidal/ellipsoidal heights of the source dataset. Conversion constants used for this work come from NOAA Tides and Currents (https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/) or the Alaska Tidal Datum Portal (https://dggs.alaska.gov/hazards/coastal/ak-tidal-datum-portal.html) for the most recent available tidal epoch for the tide station nearest to the AOI. The local constants used for this project are listed in the last process step of this metadata file, along with any additional transformations that may have been used bring source datasets into NAVD88 GEOID12B. B) Save the transformed dataset as a LAZ point file. C) Clip LAZ point file to AOI polygon. D) Classify and remove non-ground points from structure-from-motion (SfM)-derived digital surface models (DSMs) using lidar auto-classification. E) Spatially thin LAZ file to one-meter resolution, using the minimum value method. F) Clip the LAZ file to all higher-priority datasets using a buffer of 2x the average point density/resolution of the source dataset being prepared. G) Split the LAZ file into two subsets, one containing 95 percent of the points (active points) and the other containing the remaining 5 percent, or every 20th point (check points). The active points are later gridded in the elevation model along with associated interpolation guides to derive the final topographic surface, while the check points are used to compute the interpolation accuracy of the derived surface. Source_Used_Citation_Abbreviation: conversion constant Process_Date: 20240902 Process_Step: Process_Description: Create interpolation guides. Interpolation guides are author-defined 3D points, lines, or polygons used to help derive the final topographic surface. Interpolation guides are used to A) smooth or accentuate breaks in slope along shared boundaries of source datasets, B) prevent topographic creep/shoreline migration from onshore regions into offshore regions, C) fill data gaps in source datasets with plausible heights when local knowledge, qualitative field observations, remotely sensed optical imagery, or other information sources are available, or D) otherwise facilitate the seamless integration of all source datasets. Details of interpolation guides used to create the final elevation surface for this release are listed in the last process step of this metadata file. Process_Date: 20240902 Process_Step: Process_Description: Interpolate a one-meter resolution seamless elevation surface from input source data and interpolation guides using the Create Elevation Grid tool (triangulation method). Process_Date: 20240906 Process_Step: Process_Description: Export grid as a Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF (COG) using Global Mapper, clipping the grid bounds to the project AOI and snapping the output raster cells to the appropriate UTM zone projection, using a bilinear resampling method. Process_Date: 20240906 Process_Step: Process_Description: Quantify interpolation error in MATLAB by calculating the mean bias error (MBE) and root mean square error (RMSE) of the final, seamless TBDEM relative to the check point subsets. MBE and RMSE are reported in the Vertical Positional Accuracy section of this metadata file. Process_Date: 20240906 Process_Step: Process_Description: Create spatial metadata for each source dataset by converting LAZ points to simplified bounding polygons and save in an Esri file geodatabase feature class, along with descriptive attributes about the source dataset. Spatial metadata files are further described in the Entity and Attribute Overview section of this metadata file. Process_Date: 20240906 Process_Step: Process_Description: Perform quality checks on the output elevation raster and spatial metadata files, including review of minimum/maximum elevation values, shoreline positions, gridding artifacts, and descriptive attributes. Process_Date: 20240909 Process_Step: Process_Description: Metadata was modified to bring up to current USGS standards. The keyword for geospatial datasets was added. No data information was changed.

B) Additional vertical transformations: a systematic vertical offset between the 2015 DGGS sfm data and the 2019 USACE NCMP tblidar was detected using the Compare Point Clouds tool in Global Mapper within the bounds of the City of Golovin; a constant value of 0.2 m was added to all 2015 DGGS sfm elevations to correct for the offset. C) Interpolation guides: Four types of interpolation guides were created by the authors to prevent topographic creep from onshore environments, fill data gaps, or reflect the most recently known ground conditions: i) Author defined points were created to extend shore-parallel bathymetric contours from areas of 2019 USACE NCMP tblidar coverage into areas of data gaps in the southwest portion of the model domain. ii) Author defined points were used to increase the elevation (to 5 m NAVD88) of the road at the corner of Antone and Nichols Street to represent the most recent observed configuration during USGS field activity FAN 2024-635-FA in summer 2024. iii) Culverts were identified using the AK DCRA Community Profile CAD Planimetric Features layer (https://dcra-cdo-dcced.opendata.arcgis.com/maps/7f5ca7eafcbb40dc88c06a8a5072b6e3/about) and NOAA ShoreZone oblique aerial imagery (https://alaskafisheries.noaa.gov/mapping/sz/). Each culvert was digitized into a 3D polygon with a constant elevation value and used in the interpolation step above. iv) Source data gaps over inland water bodies (lakes, ponds, and streams) were digitized into 3D polygons with constant elevation values and used in the interpolation step above Source_Used_Citation_Abbreviation: conversion constant Source_Used_Citation_Abbreviation: Community Profile CAD Source_Used_Citation_Abbreviation: ShoreZone Process_Date: 20240909 Spatial_Data_Organization_Information: Direct_Spatial_Reference_Method: Raster Raster_Object_Information: Raster_Object_Type: Grid Cell Row_Count: 29087 Column_Count: 28138 Vertical_Count: 1 Spatial_Reference_Information: Horizontal_Coordinate_System_Definition: Planar: Grid_Coordinate_System: Grid_Coordinate_System_Name: Universal Transverse Mercator Universal_Transverse_Mercator: UTM_Zone_Number: 3 Transverse_Mercator: Scale_Factor_at_Central_Meridian: 0.9996 Longitude_of_Central_Meridian: -165.0 Latitude_of_Projection_Origin: 0.0 False_Easting: 500000.0 False_Northing: 0.0 Planar_Coordinate_Information: Planar_Coordinate_Encoding_Method: row and column Coordinate_Representation: Abscissa_Resolution: 1.0 Ordinate_Resolution: 1.0 Planar_Distance_Units: meters Geodetic_Model: Horizontal_Datum_Name: NAD83_National_Spatial_Reference_System_2011 Ellipsoid_Name: GRS 1980 Semi-major_Axis: 6378137.0 Denominator_of_Flattening_Ratio: 298.257222101004 Vertical_Coordinate_System_Definition: Altitude_System_Definition: Altitude_Datum_Name: North American Vertical Datum of 1988 Altitude_Resolution: 0.001 Altitude_Distance_Units: meters Altitude_Encoding_Method: Explicit elevation coordinate included with horizontal coordinates Entity_and_Attribute_Information: Detailed_Description: Entity_Type: Entity_Type_Label: golovin_tbdem_1m_2012-2024.tif Entity_Type_Definition: Raster geospatial data file.
