Input Files
The bathymetry data (Last
Updated: 1/24/2007) are available in two vertical datums: NGVD29
and NAVD88.
NGVD29 Datum:
1. The entire database in a binary file ("dsm2Nad83Ngvd29.cdp",
70MB)
2. The entire database in an ascii file ("dsm2Nad83Ngvd29.zip",
30MB)
NAVD88 Datum:
1. The entire database in a binary file ("dsm2Nad83Navd88.cdp",
70MB)
2. The entire database in an ascii file ("dsm2Nad83Navd88.zip",
30MB)
Both files are readable by the CSDP. The binary file will load
faster. To use the ascii file, unzip it first.
1. The DSM2
network file contains all irregular cross-sections used in the
current version of DSM2 (last updated
8/19/1998 ).
2. The landmark
file contains DSM2 node numbers and their locations.
3. The channel
outline file contains outlines of channels used in DSM2.
