Parent Layer: Environmental Conditions

Name: Wave Height Maximum

Display Field:

Type: Raster Layer

Geometry Type: null

Description: This map layer depicts the Mean Wave Height in units of feet. This map layer was generated by the Rutgers University Center for Remote Sensing and Spatial Analysis. Wave data was provided by Natural Capital Project (http://www.naturalcapitalproject.org/). The data for any individual model point was averaged across the various compass point directions. Due to the spatial displacement of the rather coarse spatial scale individual model points and the finer scale MTL shoreline, the NatCap data was resampled to match the finer scale shoreline data. The NatCap points were interpolated using the ArcGIS IDW (inverse distance weighted interpolation) algorithm with (1 neighbor selected, power = 1 and 1500 m search distance). A barrier poly line was used to help separate NatCap points in the ocean influencing interpolation on the bayside margin. The above approach basically is similar to a nearest neighbor resampling to assign the closest NatCap point value to each MTL shoreline grid cell. The original wave heights were given in meters but converted to feet for inclusion in the Restoration Explorer app. The engineering guidelines suggest the Ecologically-Enhanced Revetment and Breakwater techniques can handle higher wave energies. These techniques were scored as NA for lower wave conditions, though they can handle these lower wave heights. In lower wave energy conditions, one might opt for some of the other techniques that might have greater ecological uplift such as the Marsh Sill or Living Reef.
