Everglades Depth Estimation Network (EDEN) October 2007 Digital Elevation Model

This version includes all data collected and certified by the USGS prior to the conclusion of the AHF collection process. It differs from the previous elevation model (EDEN_EM_JAN07) in that the modeled area of WCA3N (all the WCA3A area north of I-75) is increased while the modeled area of the Big Cypress National Preserve (BNCP) has been both refined and reduced to the region where standard error of cross-validation points falls below 0.16 meters.

EDEN offers a consistent and documented dataset that can be used to guide large-scale field operations, to integrate hydrologic and ecological responses, and to support biological and ecological assessments that measure ecosystem responses to Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan. To produce historic and near-real time maps of water depths, the EDEN requires a system-wide DEM of the ground surface. These data were specifically created for the development of water depth information using interpolated water surfaces from the EDEN stage data network.
