- Abstract:
-
The U.S. Geological Survey has developed a National Elevation Dataset (NED). The NED is a seamless mosaic of best-available elevation
data. The 7.5-minute elevation data for the conterminous United States are the primary initial source data. In addition to the
availability of complete 7.5-minute data, efficient processing methods were developed to filter production artifacts in the existing
data, convert to the NAD83 datum, edge-match, and fill slivers of missing data at quadrangle seams. One of the effects of the NED
processing steps is a much-improved base of elevation data for calculating slope and hydrologic derivatives. The West Virginia GIS Technical Center serves the portion covering the state of WV.
- Purpose:
-
Geospatial elevation data are utilized by the scientific and resource management communities for global change research, hydrologic
modeling, resource monitoring, mapping, and visualization applications.
