Shoreline (MHHW) - East Babeldaob, Palau

Autre

Shoreline referenced to local Mean Higher High Water (MHHW) derived from Malakal Harbor tide gauge observations obtained from the University of Hawaii Sea Level Center (UHSLC). The time series was detrended to remove sea level rise, and MHHW was computed as the average of the higher daily high waters over an 18.6-year tidal cycle centered around ~2001. The resulting MHHW is 0.65 m above mean sea level. High-resolution (1-m) topobathymetric lidar elevations from the Office of Palau Automated Land and Resources Information System (PALARIS) were first referenced to local mean sea level at Malakal Harbor using UHSLC benchmark information (https://uhslc.soest.hawaii.edu/stations/?stn=007#benchmarks). The shoreline was then defined relative to MHHW and post-processed to remove interpolation artifacts. This dataset covers the eastern (ocean-facing) sides of Babeldaob Island states, from Ngerechur Island (Ngarchelong State) southwards to Tabrengesang Park (Ngchesar State).
