Data Request For Potomac River Tragedy - National Centers For Environmental Information (NCEI), NOAA In The News

“A CNN Reporter requested data to portray the depth of the Potomac River near the site of the tragic plane and helicopter crash. The Digital Elevation Model Bathymetry (DEM) Team responded with information on how to use NCEI’s high-resolution Continuously Updated Digital Elevation Models (CUDEMs) to generate a map of the Potomac River and provided an example map…”

@NOAA @NCEI

@GregCocks It looks like I should be able to archive the data there. I'll get it started in an hour or so.

@GregCocks There's a massive amount of data there. I'm still working on it, but I've got hundreds of Gigs and it's nowhere close to finishing. Give me a couple of days.

git.lsit.ucsb.edu/publicdata/N

This isn't the full archive and there's plenty more to come. Keep in mind that the size listed there is underrepresented. This is ~650GB so far. Unfortunately, the NCEI website has been spotty some this week, too.

I expect a full archive will easily exceed 1TB of data.

@GregCocks Yeah, I greatly underestimated the size of this. I'm near a TB of *just* CSV files and there's stilla ton left.
