COMMENTS:

DATA LAYER NARRATIVE:

This grid is the result of a mosaic of 30-meter USGS dems. Most of the
dems are Level 2. For some areas, only Level 1 were available. Level 1 dems contain
systematic errors ("corn rowing") that are removed in Level 2 processing. The CLAMS
mosaic was treated with a smoothing algorithm to remove corn rowing in the Level 1
areas, necessarily introducing some unwanted smoothing in other regions.
