This high-resolution digital elevation model, or DEM, for the area around Virginia Beach, Va., designed to improve forecasting for early tsunami warning systems and to help coastal communities prepare for storm-driven flooding. The DEM is constructed from near-shore seafloor depth and land elevation data to create a detailed representation of coastal relief.
