RGB-averaged orthoimagery of coastal North Carolina, one-month post-Hurricane Dorian (RGB-averaged orthoimages were created from aerial imagery collected on October 11, 2019, along the North Carolina coast between the Virginia-North Carolina border vicinity and Cape Lookout, North Carolina. These RBG-averaged orthoimages were created to document ground conditions one-month after Hurricane Dorian, which made landfall on the North Carolina coast on September 6, 2019.)
Digital elevation models (DEMs) of coastal North Carolina, one month Post-Hurricane Dorian (Digital elevation models (DEMs) were created from aerial imagery collected October 11, 2019, along the North Carolina coast between the Virginia-North Carolina border vicinity and Cape Lookout, North Carolina. These DEMs were created to document ground conditions one-month after Hurricane Dorian, which made landfall on the North Carolina coast on September 6, 2019.)
