Digital elevation models (DEMs) of coastal North Carolina, two-months Post-Hurricane Dorian (Digital elevation models (DEMs) were created from aerial imagery collected November 26, 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 two-months after Hurricane Dorian, which made landfall on the North Carolina coast on September 6, 2019.)
RGB-averaged orthoimagery of coastal North Carolina, two-months Post-Hurricane Dorian (RGB-averaged orthoimages were created from aerial imagery collected on November 26, 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 two-months after Hurricane Dorian, which made landfall on the North Carolina coast on September 6, 2019.)
