Service Description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN>For the purposes of research and monitoring in marine environments, elevation data is typically most useful when it is expressed relative to tidal rather than orthometric vertical datums. For example, the potential habitat depth of submerged aquatic vegetation is often expressed as a range relative to mean lower low water (MLLW), representing the specific light requirements of each species. This MLLW bathymetric model (elevation values in meters) of the southern Salish Sea is based on the USGS CoNED topobathymetric digital elevation models of Puget Sound (OCM Partners, 2022a) and the Strait of Juan de Fuca (OCM Partners, 2022b), converted from NAVD88 to MLLW using NOAA’s VDatum 4.6.1 transformation grids (Office of Coast Survey, 2023), and projected onto NAD 1983 HARN StatePlane Washington South FIPS 4602.

The combined grid was then used to batch transform CoNED tiles from NAVD88 to MLLW using ArcPy maintaining extent, PCS, cell size and snap raster. The new CoNED MLLW tiles were mosaicked and projected onto NAD 1983 HARN StatePlane Washington South FIPS 4602 (SPWAS) as a continuous raster to prevent tile discontinuities. Finally, the continuous CoNED MLLW SPWAS raster was re-tiled, tiles were named by row and column, and pixel values above 10 meters of elevation were removed to improve the reliability of the final product for marine applications. </SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN /></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN>References: </SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN>OCM Partners. 2022a. 1887 - 2017 USGS CoNED Topobathy DEM (Compiled 2020): Puget Sound, WA.
