A Coastal Hazards Data Base for the U.S. Gulf Coast, CDIAC NDP-043B
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
This Numeric Data Package (NDP) contains a digital database that describes the U.S. Gulf Coast.
Description
The database integrates point, line, and polygon data for the U.S. Gulf Coast into 0.25 latitude by 0.25 longitude grid cells and into 1:2,000,000 digitized line segments that can be used by raster or vector geographic information systems (GIS) as well as non-GIS database systems. Each coastal grid cell and/or line segment contains data on elevation, geology, geomorphology, sea-level trends, shoreline displacement (erosion/accretion), tidal range, and wave heights.
The database identifies seven of 22 variables as relative-risk variables to assess coastal vulnerability. The data can be used to create a coastal vulnerability index for each grid cell and/or line segment. The database and corresponding coastal vulnerability indices may be used to identify coastal zones that are at risk from coastal erosion or possible changes in sea level.

The data are contained in five groups, available as ARC/INFO export files and as flat ASCII files for a total of 10 files, each less than 2 MB. This NDP is related to NDP-043A "Coastal Hazards Data Base for the U.S. East Coast" submitted by the same investigators as NDP-043B. All CDIAC numerical data packages include copies of pertinent literature discussing the data, summaries discussing the background, source and scope of the data, as well as applications, limitations and restrictions of the data.
