A Coastal Hazards Data Base for the U.S. West Coast, CDIAC/NDP043C
Entry ID:
CDIAC_NDP043C
Summary
Abstract:
[Adapted from the online documentation]
The Numeric Data Package (NDP-043C) consists of a digital data base that may be used to identify coastlines along the U.S. West Coast that are at risk to sea-level rise. This data base integrates point, line, and polygon data for the U.S. West Coast into 0.25 degree latitude by 0.25 degree longitude grid cells and into 1:2,000,000 digitized line segments ...

Quality
An important part of the data packaging process at the CDIAC is the
quality assurance (QA) of the data before its distribution. Data received at CDIAC are rarely in perfect condition for immediate distribution, regardless of source. CDIAC staff members examine the data for completeness, reasonableness, and accuracy. The QA process is an important component in the value-added concept of assuring accurate, usable information for researchers. For details on the QA performed on this data set, see the documentation file at: http://cdiac.esd.ornl.gov/ftp/ndp043c/ndp043c.txt or http://cdiac.esd.ornl.gov/epubs/ndp/ndp043c/43c.htm
