1 foot Digital Elevation Model (DEM)
NYC 1foot Digital Elevation Model: A bare-earth, hydro-flattened, digital-elevation surface model derived from 2010 Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data. Surface models are raster representations derived by interpolating the LiDAR point data to produce a seamless gridded elevation data set. A Digital Elevation Model (DEM) is a surface model generated from the LiDAR returns that correspond to the ground with all buildings, trees and other above ground features removed. The cell values represent the elevation of the ground relative to sea level. The DEM was generated by interpolating the LiDAR ground points to create a 1 foot resolution seamless surface. Cell values correspond to the ground elevation value (feet) above sea level. A proprietary approach to surface model generation was developed that reduced spurious elevation values in areas where there were no LiDAR returns, primarily beneath buildings and over water. This was combined with a detailed manual QA/QC process, with emphasis on accurate representation of docks and bare-earth within 2000ft of the water bodies surrounding each of the five boroughs.

The publisher's promise
How the agency that publishes this data says it keeps the data current.
DormantNo automatic refresh
- Automatic refresh
No scheduled refresh runs for this dataset, and a refresh you ask for on this page is refused.
- Our catalog lists this dataset without keeping a copy of its rows, so the automatic queue has no copy to refresh. This fence refuses a refresh you ask for on this page.
- This dataset needs a copy method that the automatic queue does not run, such as a bulk export of a very large table. This fence refuses a refresh you ask for on this page.
