The USGS CASCaDE Project provides access to U.S. downscaled climate data. The data are derived from gridded observed fields from the University of Washington Land Surface Hydrology Research Group and from Global Circulation Model (GCM) simulations of historical climate conditions (scenario 20c3m in IPCC4 studies), A2 future greenhouse - gas -and- sulfate - aerosols emissions scenarios, and B1 future emissions scenarios. The GCMs represented here, so far, are the National Center for Atmospheric Research's Parallel Climate Model 1 (PCM) and from the NOAA Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Lab's GFDL CM2.1 model. Downcaled variables include (12 km resolution). Data are available for download. http://cascade.wr.usgs.gov/data/Taskl- climate/ Natural Resources Canada Climate Change Scenario website provides models for the CGCM2, Hadley - CM3 and CSIRO -Mk2, A2 and B2 scenarios for the following 30 -year average periods: 2011 -2040, 2041- 2070 and 2071 -2100. Models for individual years (2011 -2100) are available by request. Downscaled variables include average monthly minimum and maximum temperature and total precipitation, and derived biocli- matic variables (10 km resolution). The models can be viewed or downloaded. http: / /cfs.nrcan.gc.ca/subsite/ glfc- climate /climatechange Sea Level Rise and Topographic /Elevation Data The NOAA Coastal Services Center has developed the Coastal Inundation Toolkit to help communities understand and address coastal inundation issues. The toolkit can help identify exposure and examine potential impacts, map inundation, assess vulnerability, and learn how other communities are addressing sea level rise. The toolkit includes links to many relevant data sources, a number of which are included elsewhere in this list. http: / /www.csc.noaa.gov /digitalcoast /inundation /index.html/ The NOAA Coastal Services Center maintains the Topographic and Bathymetric Data Inventory which an index of the best - available elevation data sets by region. The southeast regional inventory was completed in May 2009. Users can zoom in to an area on the map and click on the data set to access up to 20 data attributes, including vertical accuracy, datums, and point spacing. http : / /www.csc.noaa.Vov /tol2obathy /index. html/ NOANs National Ocean Service (NOS) Data Explorer is a GIS mapping portal that offers access to many products, including bathymetry, coastal maps, environmental sensitivity index maps, aerial photographs, and more. http: // oceanservice .noaa.gov /dataexl2lorer/ NOANs National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) provides a variety of data products, including coastal relief digital elevation models, bathymetric maps, and satellite - derived data. http: / /www.nVdc.noaa.Vov /mgg/ bath)�metry /relief.html The USGS Center for LIDAR Information Coordination and Knowledge (CLICK) is a resource center for LIDAR information, discussion, and data. Its primary mission is to support scientific research on lidar point data. Voluntarily contributed LIDAR point clouds are available for download as tiles. http: / /Iidar.cr.usgs.gov/ 168 Appendix A
