Purpose: The data are intended to provide communities, coastal managers, scientists, and the public with a preliminary assessment of the extent of potential sea level rise.

Logical_Consistency_Report: The data layers were evaluated to ensure logical progressions in the depth values. Completeness_Report: The data are complete for the region. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: The data were derived from the coastal New Hampshire LiDAR collection (2011), with a 2m GSD (or 2-meter nominal post spacing). Vertical_Positional_Accuracy: Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Vertical accuracy of the coastal LiDAR is 15.0 centimeters RMSEz or better.

The -1.6404-foot elevation was chosen to match that which is described in the NOAA Office for Coastal Management document "Detailed Method for Mapping Sea Level Rise Inundation". All pixels not within MHHW POLYGONS retained pixel values of the LIDAR dem. Source_Used_Citation_Abbreviation: MHHW POLYGONS Process_Date: 20180212 Source_Produced_Citation_Abbreviation: HYDRO-FLATTENED LIDAR Process_Step: Process_Description: Sea Level Rise rasters were developed by ESRC using (for the most part) the methodologies established by AECOM as reported in the related document: "Sea Level Rise Mapping Data - New Hampshire Open Coast, Piscataqua River, and Great Bay". The one departure was that the water elevations for the open ocean and waters connected to it were set at -1.6404 feet (-0.5 meters as described in the NOAA Office for Coastal Management document "Detailed Method for Mapping Sea Level Rise Inundation"). This data is reflected in HYDRO-FLATTENED LIDAR. In addition, several disconnected polygons (but greater than 1 acre) that were not believed to be hydrologically connected to the open ocean were deleted.
