Digital elevation model (DEM) created using bathymetry data collected between 2009 and 2020 (MLLW) (A 1-m resolution, continuous surface, bathymetric digital elevation model (DEM) of the central portion of San Francisco Bay, was constructed from bathymetric surveys collected from 2005 to 2020.)
Footprints and producers of source data used to create central portion of the high-resolution (1 m) digital elevation model (DEM) (Polygon shapefile showing the footprint boundaries, source agency origins, and resolutions of compiled bathymetric digital elevation models (DEMs) used to construct a continuous, high-resolution DEM of the central portion of San Francisco Bay.)
Digital elevation model (DEM) created using bathymetry data collected between 2009 and 2020 (NAVD88) (A 1-m resolution, continuous surface, bathymetric digital elevation model (DEM) of the central portion of San Francisco Bay, was constructed from bathymetric surveys collected from 2005 to 2020.)
