NOAA orthorectified Digital Elevation Model (DEM) image tiles, Bombay Hook, Delaware, 2011 (NCEI Accession 0112173)

The NOAA Bombay Hook Project covers 177 square kilometers of the Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge and surrounding areas in Kent County, Delaware. The Dewberry company produced ortho mosaics for 101 tiles (1700 m x 1700 m) covering this area. The images were created with a 25cm cell size. These images provide a snapshot in time that depicts the ground surface and water features for use in coastal management. These Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) are created to the specifications outlined by NOAA CSC in partnership with the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC).

These images are in ERDAS commercial software .img format which may be read by GIS software and various computer languages. Associated Reduced Resolution Dataset (.rrd) files, HIStory (.his) files, browse image (.jpg) files, and individual (.xml) and collection level metadata in Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) format are included in the dataset.
