Topography DEMs (Digital Elevation Models) at various resolutions are needed for doing tsunami modeling.
Sources of topo DEMs¶
The data used for GeoClaw modeling has mostly come from NCEI websites, and a summary of some specific sources can be found in Topo files for Cascadia.
Derived data sets¶
A number of different Python scripts and notebooks have been used to create the “topofiles” that are directly used by GeoClaw. Some of these will be included here...

The following topofiles are available on TACC for those running GeoClaw there:
