Description:
Abstract:
A Digital Elevation Model (DEM) is digital cartographic/geographic data in raster form. The terrain elevations for ground positions are sampled at regularly spaced horizontal intervals. DEMs are derived from hypsographic data (contour lines) and/or photogrammetric methods using USGS 7.5-minute, 15-minute, 2-arc-second (30- by 60-minute), and 1-degree (1:250,000-scale) topographic quadrangle maps.
Purpose:
These data are intended for geographic display and analysis at a regional level. The data should be displayed and analyzed at scales appropriate for 1:24,000-scale data.

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
No tests for attribute accuracy were performed on this data set. Through inspection and queries, attempts were made to ensure completeness and consistency of attribute values.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
No tests for logical consistency were performed on this data set.
Completeness_Report:
This category of data includes elevation data over the island of O'ahu for The National Map pilot project. The completeness of the data is unknown but should be consistent with the level of information normally shown on U.S. Geological Survey 1:24,000-scale elevation maps.

Process_Description:
Used ArcToolBox, GRID to Image command, Colormap None, JFIF Format.

Hillshade GRIDs created by OP using USGS 10 meter DEMs, 2003.

Used the following Arc commands:

GRID: OUTGRID = ingrid * 0.3048 {to convert from feet to meters for GRID cells in feet}

GRID: OUTGRID = MERGE(ingrid1, ingrid2,...) {to append grids to one islandwide grid}

GRID: GRIDCLIP <in_grid> <out_grid> COVER <clip_cover> {to clip the GRID file to remove blank cells}

ARC: HILLSHADE <in_grid> <out_grid> 315 45 SHADE <0.3048> {used 0.3048 for GRIDs with cell values in feet}
