Layer: AKmax Eastern Aleutian Distant Source - Elevation Markers (Feet) (ID: 2)

Parent Layer: Tsunami Runup Elevations

Name: AKmax Eastern Aleutian Distant Source - Elevation Markers (Feet)

Display Field: Event_Size

Type: Feature Layer

Geometry Type: esriGeometryPoint

Description: The Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI) maintains the most up-to-date tsunami inundation information for the state of Oregon. This layer reflects a compilation based on both original (2013) tsunami modeling as well as more recent modeling updates. Beginning in 2013, DOGAMI began publishing the next generation of tsunami evacuation maps for the coast of Oregon. Since then, specific areas of the Oregon coast have been updated with newer studies. Additional detailed information about the tsunami modeling may be found in Priest and others (2013) (https://www.oregongeology.org/pubs/ofr/p-O-13-13.htm). This layer shows tsunami runup elevations, in feet, at a 500 meter interval along the inundation zone boundary. The AKmax Eastern Aleutian Distant Source tsunami is a maximum-considered distant tsunami event originating from the Eastern Aleutian Islands. This layer was published in 2022 by the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries as part of the Oregon Statewide Tsunami Geodatabase Compilation 1.0 (OGTC-1). DOGAMI Website: http://www.oregongeology.org/ DOGAMI Contact: dogami-info@oregon.gov Horizontal Positional Accuracy: Tsunami simulations use unstructured computational grids constructed from detailed bathymetric and topographic data, particularly lidar. Spacing between computational grid points, a measure of the precision of this data, is generally less than 10 m in populated areas and at critical shoreline features such as jetties. Vertical Positional Accuracy: Values were derived from tsunami modeling using an unstructured grid and the hydrodynamic model SELFE (Semi-implicit Eulerian-Lagrangian Finite Element model, Zhang and Baptista, 2008). SELFE passed all standard tsunami benchmark tests (Zhang and Baptista, 2008a) and closely reproduced observed inundation and flow depths of the 1964 Alaska tsunami in a trial at Cannon Beach (Zhang et al, 2011). Thirteen computational grids were developed as part of the original coastwide modeling. These grids were constructed by first compiling digital elevation models (DEMs) covering five different model regions of the Oregon coast and then retrieving from the DEM elevations at a series of points defining a triangular irregular network (TIN). The DEM for the regional simulations was compiled from ETOPO1 1-arc-minute (~1.9 km (1.2 mi)) database (http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/global/global.html) and 1/3-arc-second (~10 m (33 ft)) tsunami grids obtained for each region (Astoria, Garibaldi, Central and Port Orford) and obtained from the National Center for Environment Information (NCEI, formerly National Geophysical Data Center), supplemented in areas of dry land by 2008-2009 lidar (light detection and ranging) data. Additional bathymetric data were obtained from the US Army Corps of Engineers for all navigational channels spanning Oregon estuaries. All data sets were adjusted to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88) and WGS 84 map projection. Vertical accuracy is therefore a function of many different factors, including the DEM, model physics, friction factors, and tidal stage.
