Data and Tools

Downloadable Data

  • Benthic Data On-Line
    Benthic data available for download in either ArcExport® or shapefile format with metadata.
  • Land Cover and Land Cover Change Data On-Line
    Land cover and change data available for download in ERDAS® Imagine® image file format with metadata.
  • Topographic Data On-Line
    Create customized elevation data for places where the Center has collected or obtained topographic data using Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) or Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (IfSAR or InSAR).

Tools

  • LIDAR Data Handler Extension
    This extension to ArcView® 3.x with Spatial Analyst provides tools to manipulate LIDAR data.
  • C-CAP Data Handler
    This extension to ArcView 3.x with Spatial Analyst allows users to access and manipulate Coastal Change Analysis Program (C-CAP) land cover and change data.
  • C-CAP Legend Handler
    This extension to ArcView 3.x provides data display options for C-CAP data in ERDAS Imagine file format (*.img). It does not require the Spatial Analyst extension.
  • Chart Reprojector
    An executable program used to change the geographic projection of a BSB format raster image (e.g., NOAA raster nautical charts).
  • Impervious Surface Analysis Tool (ISAT)
    This extension to ArcView with Spatial Analyst calculates the percentage of impervious surfaces for a selected geographic area. It is available as an extension for ArcView 3.x and ArcView 8.x.
  • Nonpoint Source Pollution and Erosion Comparison Tool (N-SPECT)
    This extension to ArcView 8.x examines the relationship between land cover, nonpoint source pollution, and erosion.
