NCEI Estuarine Bathymetry

The National Ocean Service (NOS) Estuarine Bathymetric Digital Elevation Models are gridded bathymetry datasets interpolated from 150 years’ worth of hydrographic survey data collected by the former NOS Special Projects Office. The initiative produced datasets for 70 estuaries in the conterminous United States with sufficient data coverage to support detailed bathymetric processing. Estuarine bathymetric data are available as gridded products with 30 meter spatial resolution.
