NOAA Office for Coastal Management Coastal Inundation Digital Elevation Model: Honolulu Weather Forecast Office (HFO WFO)

Dataset Identification:
Resource Abstract:
These data were created as part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Office for Coastal Management's efforts
to create an online mapping viewer called the Sea Level Rise and Coastal Flooding Impacts Viewer. It depicts potential sea
level rise and its associated impacts on the nation's coastal areas. The purpose of the mapping viewer is to provide coastal
managers and scientists with a preliminary look at sea level rise (SLR) and coastal flooding impacts. The viewer is a screening-level
tool that uses nationally consistent data sets and analyses. Data and maps provided can be used at several scales to help
gauge trends and prioritize actions for different scenarios. The Sea Level Rise and Coastal Flooding Impacts Viewer may be

elevation model (DEM), which is a part of a series of DEMs produced for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
Office for Coastal Management's Sea Level Rise and Coastal Flooding Impacts Viewer described above. The DEMs created for this
project were developed using the NOAA National Weather Service's Weather Forecast Office (WFO) boundaries. This DEM includes
the best available lidar known to exist at the time of DEM creation that met project specifications for the Honolulu WFO,
which includes the following islands in Hawaii: Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Maui, Lanai, and Hawaii. The DEM is derived from multiple
sources. 1. 2005 Oahu/Maui Lidar - acquired by NOAA 2. 2006 Hawaii FEMA Lidar - acquired by FEMA along south shores of islands
3. 2007 USACE Pacific Islands Lidar: Hawaiian Islands - acquired by USACE and Hawaii State Civil Defense along north and windward
facing shores of islands Hydrographic breaklines were delineated from LiDAR intensity imagery generated from the LiDAR datasets.
The final DEM is hydro flattened such that water elevations are less than or equal to -0.5 meters. The DEM is referenced vertically
to the Local Mean Sea Level (LMSL) tidal datum with vertical units of meters and horizontally to the North American Datum
of 1983 (NAD83). The resolution of the DEM is 3 meters.

purpose:
The NOAA Office for Coastal Management has developed high-resolution digital elevation models (DEMs) for use in the Center's
Sea Level Rise And Coastal Flooding Impacts internet mapping application. These DEMs serve as source datasets used to derive
data to visualize the impacts of inundation resulting from sea level rise along the coastal United States and its territories.

these data, and such acknowledgment as is standard for citation and legal practices for data source is expected.
name Of Measure Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report
evaluation Method Description
The DEM is derived from the source lidar data. Horizontal accuracy testing is not performed on the DEM. Lidar source data
assumed to meet 1 meter horizontal accuracy.
AbsoluteExternalPositionalAccuracy
name Of Measure Vertical Positional Accuracy Report
evaluation Method Description
The DEM is derived from the source lidar data. Vertical accuracy is not tested on the DEM. Project specifications require
all source lidar data used in constructing the DEM to meet FEMA Specifications for Flood Hazard Mapping.
Completeness Commission
evaluation Method Description
A visual qualitative check was performed to ensure data completeness. All available lidar data known at the time of DEM creation
that meets project specifications has been used to develop the DEM. Known data gaps may exist where lidar coverage was incomplete.
Completeness Omission
evaluation Method Description

that meets project specifications has been used to develop the DEM. Known data gaps may exist where lidar coverage was incomplete.
ConceptualConsistency
measure Description
Data covers the tile scheme provided for the project area. Elevation data checked for anomalous elevation values outside expected
range.
