Overview

Description

URL: https://web.corral.tacc.utexas.edu/nfiedata/pin2flood/texas/ The current National Water Model and its Flood Inundation Mapping (FIM) service use 10-meter Height Above Nearest Drainage (HAND) hydrological terrain. In the Pin2Flood project (https://gis.tdem.texas.gov/portal/apps/storymaps/stories/72f0ec81a7654da688518f486122abed), funded by the Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM), ORNL computed the 3-meter HAND and associated synthetic rating curves for the State of Texas, covering 287,535 river streams (1.5km/stream) in 209 HUC8s. This archived dataset includes the HAND raster and the synthetic rating curve table for each of the 209 HUC8s in Texas. It is hosted at the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC). This 3-meter HAND is derived from the Fathom 3-meter DEM and NHDPlus V21 using an accelerated version of NOAA's Flood Inundation Mapping version 3 (FIM3, https://github.com/NOAA-OWP/inundation-mapping/tree/dev-fim3)
