Description:
Abstract:
Data for this DEM were originally acquired and processed by
Allison
Graves, Nuna Technologies, for the American Samoa Land
Grant
Extension Program on May 1, 2001. The elevation data were
derived
from USGS Digital Elevation Models at the 1:24,000 scale.
Dawn
Wright then mosaiced the grids together in ArcInfo to
create
this single grid.
Purpose:
The grid should provide a nice detailed presentation of
land elevation (base layer), possibly suitable for
georeferencing or
mosaicing with grids of offshore topography (bathymetry)
produced from multibeam surveys done in May of 2001 for the
Fagatele Bay National Marine Sanctuary, American Samoa.

Process_Description:
grids were imported from Allison's CD
then MOSAICed together using that function in ArcInfo GRID
the grid was then PROJECTed to geographic so that it would
overlay other FBNMS data sets:
input utm
units meters
parameters 43 00
