        abstract:  To support Hurricane Florence impact modeling of storm-induced flooding and sediment transport, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Coastal National Elevation Database (CoNED) Applications Project has created an integrated 1-meter topobathymetric digital elevation model (TBDEM) for coastal North Carolina, and South Carolina. High-resolution coastal topobathymetric data are required to characterize flooding, storms, and sea-level rise inundation hazard zones and other earth science applications, such as the development of sediment transport and storm surge models. This TBDEM consists of the best available multi-source topographic and bathymetric elevation data for the Coastal Carolinas including neighboring bays, estuaries, waterways, inlets, and islands. The Coastal Carolinas TBDEM integrates 28 different data sources including topographic and bathymetric data, such as lidar point clouds and multi-beam acoustic surveys obtained from USGS, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, South Carolina Lidar Consortium, and the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources. The topographic and bathymetric surveys were sorted and prioritized based on survey date, accuracy, spatial distribution, and point density to develop a model based on the best available elevation and bathymetric data. Because bathymetric data are typically referenced to tidal datums, such as Mean High Water or Mean Low Water, all tidally referenced heights were transformed into orthometric heights based on the GEOID12B geoid, which is normally used for mapping elevation on land using the North American Vertical Datum of 1988. The spatial horizontal resolution is 1-meter with the general location ranging from the Virginia/North Carolina border to the South Carolina/Georgia border in the south and extending offshore past Cape Hatteras. The overall temporal range of the input topography and bathymetry is 1851 to 2020 with a maximum depth extending to 66 meters. The topography surveys are from 1999-2020. The bathymetry surveys were acquired between 1851 and 2020.This data release was funded by the Additional Supplemental Appropriations for Disaster Relief Act of 2019 (H.R. 2157) for North Carolina and South Carolina.
        purpose:  As a collaboration between the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Coastal and Marine Hazards and Resources Program, the USGS National Geospatial Program, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Centers for Environmental Information, the USGS Coastal National Elevation Database (CoNED) Applications Project integrates disparate light detection and ranging (lidar) and bathymetric data sources into a common three-dimensional (3D) database aligned both vertically and horizontally to a common reference system. The CoNED Project’s topobathymetric digital elevation model (TBDEM) development is focused on select regions around the United States Coast, such as the Northern Gulf of Mexico, Coastal Carolinas, Northeast, California Coast, Pacific Northwest, and the North Slope of Alaska. CoNED Project TBDEMs provide a required seamless elevation product for several science application studies, such as shoreline delineation, coastal inundation mapping, sediment-transport, sea-level rise, storm surge models, tsunami impact assessment, and to analyze the impact of various climate change scenarios on coastal regions. The raster TBDEM product in Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF (COG) format, the Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) formatted metadata, spatially referenced metadata, and the spatial metadata data dictionary are contained in the downloadable bundle. Spatially referenced metadata are contained within a geodatabase that contains footprints for each of the input source areas.

                description:  The principal methodology for developing the integrated topobathymetric digital elevation model (TBDEM) can be organized into three main components. The "topography component" consists of the land-based elevation data, which is primarily comprised from high-density lidar data. The topographic source data will include lidar data from different sensors (Topographic, Bathymetric) with distinct spectral wavelengths (NIR-1064nm, Green-532nm). The "bathymetry component" consists of hydrographic sounding (acoustic) data collected using watercraft rather than bathymetry acquired from green laser lidar within an airborne platform. The most common forms of bathymetric acquisitions include are multi-beam, single-beam, and swath. The final component, "integration", encompasses the assimilation of the topographic and bathymetric data along the near-shore based on a predefined set of priorities. The land/water interface (+1 m- -1.5 m elevation) is the most critical area, and green laser systems, such as the Experimental Advanced Airborne Research lidar (EAARL-B) and the Coastal Zone Mapping and Imaging Lidar (CZMIL) that cross the near-shore interface are valuable in developing a seamless transition. The TBDEM created from the topography and bathymetry components is a raster with associated spatial masks and metadata that can be passed to the integration component for final model incorporation. Topo/Bathy Creation Steps: Topography Processing Component: a) Quality control check the vertical and horizontal datum and projection information of the input lidar source to ensure the data is referenced to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88), the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83), and the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) projection. If the source data is not NAVD88, transform the input lidar data to NAVD88 reference frame using current National Geodetic Survey (NGS) geoid models and NOAA’s Vertical Datums Transformation (VDatum) software. Likewise, if required, convert the input source data to NAD83 and reproject to UTM. b) Check the classification of the topographic lidar data to verify the data are classified with the appropriate classes. If the data have not been classified, then classify the raw point cloud data to non-ground (class 1) ground (class 2), and water (class 9) classes using LP360-Classify. c) Derive associated breaklines from the classified lidar to capture internal water bodies, such as lakes and ponds and inland waterways. Inland waterways and water bodies will be hydro-flattened where no bathymetry is present. d) Extract the ground returns from the classified lidar data and randomly spatial subset the points into two-point sets based on the criteria of 95 percent of the points for the "Actual Selected" set and the remaining 5 percent for the "Test Control" set. The "Actual Selected" points will be gridded in the terrain model along with associated breaklines and masks to generate the topographic surface, while the "Test Control" points will be used to compute the interpolation accuracy, Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) from the derived surface. e) Generate the minimum convex hull boundary from the classified ground lidar points that creates a mask that extracts the perimeter of the exterior lidar points. The mask is then applied in the terrain to remove extraneous terrain artifacts outside of the extent of the ground lidar points. f) Using a terrain model based on triangulated irregular networks (TINs), grid the "Actual Selected" ground points using breaklines and the minimum convex hull boundary mask at a 1-meter spatial resolution using a natural neighbor interpolation algorithm. g) Compute the interpolation accuracy by comparing elevation values in the "Test Control" points to values extracted from the derived gridded surface; report the results in terms of RMSE.

                description:  Bathymetry Processing Component: a) Quality control check the vertical and horizontal datum and projection information of the input bathymetric source to ensure the data is referenced to NAVD88 and NAD83, UTM. If the source data are not NAVD88, transform the input bathymetric data to NAVD88 reference frame using VDatum. Likewise, if required, convert the input source data to NAD83 and reproject to UTM. b) Prioritize and spatially sort the bathymetry based on date of acquisition, spatial distribution, accuracy, and point density to eliminate any outdated or erroneous points and to minimize interpolation artifacts. c) Randomly subset the bathymetric points into two-point sets based on the criteria of 95 percent of the points for the "Actual Selected" set and the remaining 5 percent for the "Test Control" set. The "Actual Selected" points will be gridded in the empirical Bayesian krigging model along with associated masks to generate the bathymetric surface, while the "Test Control" points will be used to compute the interpolation accuracy (RMSE) from the derived surface. d) Spatially interpolate bathymetric single-beam, multi-beam, and hydrographic survey source data using an empirical Bayesian krigging gridding algorithm. This approach uses a geostatistical interpolation method that accounts for the error in estimating the underlying semivariogram (data structure - variance) through repeated simulations. e) Cross validation - Compare the predicted value in the geostatistical model to the actual observed value to assess the accuracy and effectiveness of model parameters by removing each data location one at a time and predicting the associated data value. The results will be reported in terms of RMSE. f) Compute the interpolation accuracy by comparing elevation values in the "Test Control" points to values extracted from the derived gridded surface; report the results in terms of RMSE.

                description:  Integration Component: a.) Analyze the input data priority based on project characteristics, including acquisition dates, cell size, retention of features, water surface treatment, visual inspection, and presence of artifacts. b.) Prioritize and spatially sort the input topographic, topobathymetric, and bathymetric raster layers based on date of survey acquisition date, accuracy, spatial distribution, and point density to sequence the raster data in the integrated elevation model. c.) Develop an ArcGIS geodatabase (Mosaic Dataset) and spatial seamlines for each individual topographic, topobathymetric, and bathymetric raster layer included in the integrated elevation model. d.) Create an overview project masking polygon (based on final pilot study AOI) e.) Using Grid Index Features, create a 6000x6000 fishnet feature class for tile-based integration processing f.) Create simple raster (vector) boundaries (custom simple_raster_bnd_batch tool) from the final set of input rasters based on the input priority. The rasters should be prioritized with the highest priority ranking on top and so forth. g.) Generate spatially referenced metadata for each input raster (custom make spatial metadata tool) from the simple raster boundary files, based on the input priority. The boundaries should be prioritized with the lowest priority (input raster layer) ranking on top and so forth. The spatially referenced metadata consists of the group of geospatial polygons that represent the spatial footprint of each data source used in the generation of the TBDEM. Each polygon is populated with raster metadata attributes that describe the source data, such as, resolution, acquisition date, source name, source organization, source contact, source project, source URL, and data type (topographic lidar, topobathymetric lidar, multibeam bathymetry, single-beam bathymetry, etc.). h.) Generalize seamline edges to smooth transition boundaries between neighboring raster layers and split complex raster datasets with isolated regions into individual unique raster groups. i.) Using the spatial metadata and tile fishnet, spatially mosaic (custom make micro mosaic dataset tool) the input raster data sources based on priority to create a seamless topobathymetric composite at a cell size of 1-meter using a linear spatial blending (ten pixel overlapping area) technique between input source layers. j.) Perform a visual quality assurance (Q/A) assessment on the output TBDEM composite to review the integrated mosaic for artifacts and anomalies.
