NOAA Office for Coastal Management Coastal Inundation Digital Elevation Model: Florida, SW

Published by Office for Coastal Management | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: December 19, 2025 | Last Modified: 2023-06-01T00:00:00.000+00:00
These data were created as part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Office for Coastal Management's efforts to create an online mapping viewer called the Sea Level Rise and Coastal Flooding Impacts Viewer. It depicts potential sea level rise and its associated impacts on the nation's coastal areas. The purpose of the mapping viewer is to provide coastal managers and scientists with a preliminary look at sea level rise and coastal flooding impacts. The viewer is a screening-level tool that uses nationally consistent data sets and analyses. Data and maps provided can be used at several scales to help gauge trends and prioritize actions for different scenarios. The Sea Level Rise and Coastal Flooding Impacts Viewer may be accessed at: https://coast.noaa.gov/slr. This metadata record describes the Florida, SW digital elevation model (DEM), which is a part of a series of DEMs produced for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Office for Coastal Management's Sea Level Rise and Coastal Flooding Impacts Viewer described above. This DEM includes the best available lidar known to exist at the time of DEM creation that met project specifications. This DEM includes data for Charlotte, Collier, Glades, Hendry, Miami-Dade, Monroe, and Palm Beach Counties. The DEM was produced from the following lidar data sets: 1. 2018 Florida Peninsular FDEM - Charlotte 2. 2018 Florida Peninsular - Collier 3. 2017 Everglades FL Lidar 4. 2018 West Everglades Topobathy NP FL Lidar 5. 2018 Southeast FL Lidar (B1, B2, TL) 6. 2018 Southwest FL Lidar (A, B, B TL) 7. 2018 Florida Peninsular FDEM - Glades 8. 2018 Florida Peninsular FDEM - Hendry 9. 2015 Miami-Dade County, Florida Lidar 10. 2017 Palm Beach County, Florida Lidar 11. 2014 Seminole Tribe Big Cypress Reservation Lidar The DEM is referenced vertically to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88) with vertical units of meters and horizontally to the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83). The resolution of the DEM is approximately 3 meters.
