The Texas Coastal
Hazards Atlas, Volume 2
Introduction
The Texas Coastal
Hazards Atlas - Volume 2 (2001) is being developed in response
to the need for technical information by coastal planners and
to increase public awareness of coastal processes. The area covered
in Volume 2 is the middle coast from the Brazos River on the east
through Corpus Christi Bay on the west.

This
directory contains digital orthophoto quadrangle (DOQ) mosaics
of the central Texas Gulf Coast. All mosaics are 2.5 meter resolution
except for Matagorda Peninsula east (5 m). Tif images load directly
into ArcView. Compressed files (.ecw) must be viewed with the
ArcView ECW plug-in. ECW is a trademark of Earth Resource Mapping

Storm Surge:
An abnormal rise in sea level accompanying a hurricane or other
intense storm, and whose height is the difference between the
observed level of the sea surface and the level that would have
occurred in the absence of the cyclone. Storm surge is usually
estimated by subtracting the normal or astronomic high tide
from the observed storm tide. (ft.)
The
files in this directory are compiled from 1992 US Fish and
Wildlife Service National Wetland Inventory data. See the
nwimapcode file for a schematic diagram of the NWI Wetlands
and Deepwater Habitats Classification System.
