Dataset description: Digital elevation models (DEMs) of coastal North Carolina, Pre-Hurricane Dorian

Digital elevation models (DEMs) were created from aerial imagery collected between August 30 and September 2, 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 prior to Hurricane Dorian, which made landfall on the North Carolina coast on September 6, 2019.

2019-310-CNT	Digital Camera A digital camera is an electronic device that captures photographs and videos by converting light into digital data, storing images on memory cards instead of film. Unlike traditional film cameras, digital cameras allow instant image review, deletion, and editing. Uses CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) and CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor) image sensors to convert light into electrical signals.
