Global Mapper Simulate Water Level Rise

July 2013 edited May 2015 in Technical Support Hi Mike the Simulate water level riseflooding feature used to let me simulate a water surface between elevation 135 and 140 if the set up shown in the attached image is used. It can help to perform elevation analysis of an area for any purpose like citytown planning new construction etc.

Using Global Mapper When Working With Rasters Raster Surface Global

The first few metres can help visualise the potential effects of localised flooding and perhaps global warming.

Global mapper simulate water level rise. What we can do with Global Mapper. GMSL projections that include the possibility of faster disintegration of the polar ice sheets. Calculatedearth shows what our planet looks like at differing sea levels.

Global mean sea level GMSL has risen about 19 cm since 1900 at an accelerating rate. Water levels are relative to local Mean Higher High Water Datum. This visualization shows the effect on coastal regions for each meter of sea level rise up to 6 meters 197 feet.

In this tutorial well show how to simulate the flooding of river by increasing its level using global mapper analysis toolsEnable CC caption for English s. If melted completely the Greenland ice sheet contains enough water to raise sea level by 5-7 meters 16-23 feet. This feature is the same when Crop to Selected Area Feature is enabled.

Above that its also a good way to visualise Earths topography. What is the equivalent Global Mapper SDK API command for the Simulate Water Level Rise Flooding feature for a specific layer area not the whole map. Global Sea Level Rise Scenarios for the United States National Climate Assessment New Mapping Tool and Techniques for Visualizing Sea Level Rise and Coastal Flooding Impacts Patterns and Projections of High Tide Flooding Along the US.

The global sea level has been gradually rising over the past century Sea levels rise due to two main reasons The first is thermal expansion as water gets warmer it expands. GMSL reached its highest value ever in 2019. Land that would be covered in water is shaded red.

Global Warmin and Sea Levele Rise are the effects of Climate Change. However this feature does not to simulate water surface. Click on icons in the map to view sea level rise simulations at specific locations.

Will global warming affect you. Effect of sea level rise or sea level change can be seen on the map. Dynamic maps of sea level rise.

Climate models project a GMSL rise during the 21st century that will likely be in the range of 029-059 m for a low emissions scenario and 061-110 m for a high one. Use the vertical slider to simulate water level rise the resulting inundation footprint and relative depth. The Simulate Water Level Rise Flooding command allows the user to simulate the water coverage flooding if you increase the water level by some depth over either a fixed single elevation like 0 for sea level or from a selected area feature like a flood plain area.

The simulation captures the evolution of sea level rise over the entire planet taking into account eustatic sea level sea level rise from perturbations to the gravity field and sea level rise from local elastic rebound of the Earths crust. Technical NOAAs Sea Level Rise map viewer gives users a way to visualize community-level impacts from coastal flooding or sea level rise up to 10 feet above average high tides. The Simulate Water Level Rise Flooding command allows the user to simulate the water coverage flooding if you increase the water level by some depth over either a fixed single elevation like 0 for sea level or from a selected area feature like a flood plain area.

This could be helpful in coastal areas.
