Comparison among three different Digital Surface Models and their respective hydraulic outcomes in the flood-prone urban area of Navaluenga (Ávila, Spain)

Three different Digital Surface Models (DSMs) generated from LiDAR data are presented. The LiDAR information has been considered as raw data (DSM3) and subjected to some transformations to better represent the urban environment (DSM1). DSM2 is an intermediate state between DSM1 and DSM3. 

On the other hand, a hydraulic model has been run for each DSM and for two return periods (25 and 500 years), obtaining in all cases the graphical outputs of depths, velocities, Froude numbers and hazard. 

The different DSMs are named DSM1, DSM2 and DSM3, which can be downloaded in TIN format. The hydraulic outputs associated with the different DSMs can be downloaded in raster format and are named as follows: the Digital Surface Model to which it refers, the return period considered and the type of hydraulic output (depth, velocity, Froude number and hazard).

DSM1: Digital Surface Model 1 (TIN format).
dsm1_25depth: Depths obtained by considering the DSM1 and the flow associated with the 25-years return period (raster format).
dsm1_25froud: Froude numbers obtained by considering the DSM1 and the flow associated with the 25-years return period (raster format).
dsm1_25haz: Hazard obtained by considering the DSM1 and the flow associated with the 25-years return period (raster format).
dsm1_25veloc: Velocities obtained by considering the DSM1 and the flow associated with the 25-years return period (raster format). 
dsm1_500depth: Depths obtained when considering the DSM1 and the flow associated with the 500-years return period (raster format).
dsm1_500froud: Froude numbers obtained by considering the DSM1 and the flow associated with the 500-years return period (raster format).
dsm1_500haz: Hazard obtained by considering the DSM1 and the flow associated with the 500-years return period (raster format).
dsm1_500veloc: Velocities obtained by considering the DSM1 and the flow associated with the 500-years return period (raster format).

DSM2: Digital Surface Model 2 (TIN format).
