Digital Elevation Model of King Edward Cove, South Georgia Island (UK)
For the purpose of studying the impact of the 12 August 2021 South Sandwich tsunami in several locations around the world, a high-resolution digital elevation model (DEM) of King Edward Cove, South Georgia Island (UK) has been built using three different types of data.
They include:
- The Global dataset 15 arcsec resolution GEBCO (2021)
- The Global dataset 1 arcsec resolution SRTM (2013)
- Digitized and georeferenced British Admiralty Nautical Chart 3587 – Harbours and Anchorages in South Georgia (Edition 2003) – Plan B: King Edward Cove.
The data showing the highest resolution has been kept in priority.
The compilation of data has been interpolated to a regular spatial resolution of 0.00009° (~6 m) between 36.5162736855°W and 36.4633943045801°W and 54.3061332112°S and 54.2693514649479°S using the kriging method. For more information about this method, see for example Oliver and Webster (1990).
