NOTE 1:Digital elevation models (DEM's) are a collection of three dimensional coordinates representing an X and Y horizontal location on the ground along with its associated elevation. These coordinate "triplets" are stored in a simple text ASCII file or Arc/Info grid format which the user imports into a geographic information system (GIS) to produce a triangulated irregular network "TIN" file which depicts a three dimensional model of the earth surface at various viewing angles as chosen by the user. DEM data are collected at various horizontal intervals and vertical accuracies depending on the mapping or GPS collection technique.
NOTE 2: Within the Red River Valley, several types of DEM data were produced to help manage flooding such as in 1950 and 1997. Products include 1999 airborne laser elevations (LIDAR), 1950 high density field survey elevations, and 2000/01 high density GPS data of all the road and railway surfaces. Detailed GPS locations and elevations were also collected in 2000/01 of several thousand raised pads and flood protection dykes. These detailed DEM data sets have been assembled into separate files so the user may combine certain layers as required. A comparison assessment of the DEM layers within the valley was completed and may be viewed in a downloadable Power Point Presentation. A coarser resolution DEM (one meter vertical accuracy) was also produced from 1:20,000 scale topographic data. These will be available in an archive at a later date.
