Surface Model

Vertical exaggeration X2

PROCESS of OPERATION Step 1: Prepare the stream bank elevation point Step 2: Prepare the bottom elevation point Step 3: Interpolate the surface model

Step 1: Prepare the stream bank elevation point

1 foot contourTIN (smooth line) Convert contour to TIN TIN Grid Convert TIN to Grid (10ft grid) Grid (integer values) Convert grid value to integer after multiply 10

Grid (integer values)Elevation point data (EP) Convert Grid (integer values) to point shape

Step 2: Prepare the bottom elevation point

River elevation grid (REG) Raster calculation (TIN Grid – Depth Grid) REG (integer values) Convert grid value to integer after multiply 10 River elevation point (REP) Convert REG (integer values) to point shape Depth grid from Bar Report and TIN grid from 1 foot contour

REP and river boundaryREP clip Clip REP with river boundary Because the boundary of the REP was not identical with the river boundary defined by 1 foot contour, the REP was clipped with river boundary. This difference was caused by the difference between the river boundary used for interpolation procedure of bathymetry conducted by BARR Engineering Co. and the river boundary identified by 1 foot contour. To obtain better surface model of Argo area, it is better to re-interpolate the bathymetry with the river boundary identified by 1 foot contour. Memo

Step 3: Interpolate the surface model

EP and REP clipArgo Elevation Point (AEP) Merge EP and REP Final DEM Interpolate surface with IDW followed by raster calculation (int(grid value/10))

FOR BETTER MODEL 1: Re-interpolate the bathymetry data with additional cross-section and the river boundary identified by 1 foot contour 2: Make smaller TIN Grid of the river bank model 3: Make bathymetry data with multiple points of water depth (use sonar and GPS)
