30 meter digital elevation model (DEM) clipped to the Andrews Experimental Forest, 1996

DB Code: 
GI002
Abstract: 

Elevation Model for the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest (30 meter DEM). This dataset includes the raw DEM, and several value added products. The products are contour lines, aspect, percent slope, and a hill shade for relief mapping.

Study date: 
January 12, 1996 to August 01, 1996
Researchers: 

George W. Lienkaemper, Theresa J. Valentine

Purpose: 

DEMs (Digital Elevation Model data) are used to support a wide range of geographic information system (GIS) applications, including: surface hydrologic modeling, slope and aspect determination, viewshed analysis, fire modeling, contouring, transportation route planning, and profile generation. DEMs are also used to rectify aerial photography in the production of Digital Orthophoto Quads (DOQs)
