  Description:
    Abstract:
      This data set represents smoothed, 2-foot bare earth contours (isolines) for the Little Ossipee River (0106000210) HUC 10 unit. It was derived from a data set
      which was compiled from LIDAR collections in NH available as of spring, 2019.  The raster was filtered using the ArcGIS FOCAL STATISTICS
      tool with a 3x3 circular neighborhood. The contours were generated using the ArcGIS CONTOUR tool while applying a Z factor of
      3.2802 to convert the elevation values from meters to feet. The filtered contours were then smoothed using the ArcGIS SMOOTH LINE tool.
      The data include an INDEX field with values of 10 and 100 to flag 10 and 100-foot contours.
      Note on HUC 01060000310:
      Due to limitations in the source LIDAR data, some anomalies exist in the generated contours in coastal areas of the state.
      These were left in the data so that users can determine what further processing best meets their application needs.
    Purpose:
      These contours connect points of equal elevation at 2-foot intervals, and are one of a suite of topographic datasets available from
      NH GRANIT that convey the shape of the Earth's surface.
    Supplemental_Information:
      Two companion data sets representing (1) filtered versions of the contours (Two Foot Topographic Contours - Little Ossipee River (0106000210) - filtered)
      and (2) shapefile showing the extents of source LiDAR-derived DEM data (Two Foot Topographic Contours - LiDAR Source) are also available from GRANIT.

Data_Quality_Information:
  Attribute_Accuracy:
    Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
      The critical attribute of this data is the contour elevation, the absolute accuracy of which has been affected by a number of
      processing steps. The original LiDAR elevation source DEMs had a 0.7 - 2 meter or better nominal post spacing (GSD) and a bare
      earth vertical accuracy of 7 - 18 centimeters RMSEz. Prior to contouring, the input raster was FILTERED using a 3x3
      circular neighborhood. The original elevation units of meters were converted to feet using a factor of 3.2808. The isolines were
      also smoothed using the ArcGIS SMOOTH LINE tool.
    Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:
      Attribute_Accuracy_Value: Floating point
      Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation: None
  Logical_Consistency_Report: Polyline topology was used to ensure that contours do not intersect or overlap.
  Completeness_Report: Data are complete for the State of New Hampshire, and reflect the content of the source datasets.

        Selected the HUC_10_CLIP polygon of interest from within ArcGIS Pro. Ran an in-house ArcGIS Pro model which comprises the
        following steps: Buffer the selected HUC_10_CLIP polygon by 1500 meters - HUC_10_CLIP_1; Set process extent to
        HUC_10_CLIP_1 polygon; Run COPY RASTER to extract rectangular dem from DEM - DEM_1; Run EXTRACT BY MASK to subset DEM_1 to
        the HUC_10_CLIP_1 shape; Run FOCAL STATISTICS using an Inverse Distance weighted neighborhood and the Sum output statistic - DEM_2;
        Run DIVIDE on the DEM_2 raster using the sum of the focal statistics neighborhood (10.50713904) as the divisor; Run the CONTOUR tool
        using DEM_2 as the input raster, a contour interval of 2 and a Z-factor of 3.2808 - CON_1; CLIP CON_1 by HUC_10 - CON_2; DICE CON_2
        with a maximum vertex count of 5000 (output spatial reference system, NHSP, NAD83) - CON_3; Add a field named INDEX; Populate INDEX
        with values of 10 and 100 to flag 10 and 100-foot contours.
