Provide a continuous surface starting in the offshore waters and working inshore to the shoreward extent of the Massachusetts Coastal Zone that will be used as a regional planning framework. This model, used in conjunction with the related source dataset shapefile will also 1) Provide an inventory of the most recent elevation and bathymetry datasets within the Massachusetts Coastal Zone and offshore water, and 2) Identify areas of the offshore waters that are only covered by historical lead line soundings and should be updated using new survey methods.
The surveys used as sources for this and subsequent processing steps are documented below using the following format: Data Source: Title of published dataset as listed in metadata. Data URL: Web address to metadata. Download Date: Date data were downloaded. ASPRS Class used:(This only pertains to LiDAR data) LiDAR data are published using point classifications according to standards established in the American Society of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS). Class number and description used for this grid are described. Output Multipoint File: The name of the multipoint file used as input to the terrain model. The resolution in meters of the GeoTIFF used to create the multipoint file is in parentheses. Note: File size for historical NOAA singlebeam x,y, z data were small enough that they used simple point feature classes instead of multipoint feature classes. In addition, these historical data are published as x,y,z only (not gridded), so there is no cell resolution associated with them as other input datasets.
