Description:
Abstract:
The U.S. Geological Survey has developed a National Elevation Dataset (NED). The NED is a seamless mosaic of best-available elevation data. The 7.5-minute elevation data for the conterminous United States are the primary initial source data. In addition to the availability of complete 7.5-minute data, efficient processing methods were developed to filter production artifacts in the existing data, convert to the NAD83 datum,  edge-match, and fill slivers of missing data at quadrangle seams. One of the effects of the NED processing steps is a much-improved base of elevation data for culating slope and hydrologic derivatives.
Purpose:
Geospatial elevation data are utilized by the scientific and resource management communities for global change search, hydrologic modeling, resource monitoring, mapping, and visualization applications.
