Summary: This step uses raster math to create a “Difference Grid”. First, elevation surfaces are created for each year of data using the clip mask. The script then uses arcpy.sa.Minus to get the difference grid between two input rasters. The output raster cell size is determined by default based on the cell size of the input raster with the smallest cells. For example, if a DEM raster with a 1m resolution is subtracted by a DEM raster with a 3m resolution, the output will be a 1m raster. The outputs of this step include surface grids and a difference grid to be used in subsequent steps for volume change.
Difference Grid: The difference grid created in Step 3.
Before Raster Date (YYYYMMDD): Desired label for the before raster. The year is suggested but the user is free to decide.
After Raster Date (YYYYMMDD): Desired label for the after raster. The year is suggested but the user is free to decide.
Vertical Unit of Input Raster: The vertical unit of the raster, options include meters or feet.
Transect Mask: Transect mask created in Step 2.
Volume Unit: Desired unit for volume calculation, options include cubic yards, cubic meters or cubic feet.
Output Geodatabase: Full file path, including name and file extension, for desired output geodatabase.
Project Name (must start with letters): Desired name for the project. The output file name will be “User-defined project name” + “_’Type of Grid’_” + “before year” + “after year”. This tool will output: one before raster grid per segment, one after raster per segment and one difference grid per segment.
Best Practices & Example Data:
Figure 7 below displays the difference volume output for the Homer, AK example data. When the output from this step is loaded into the map the user will have to alter the symbology. Below the data is symbolized based on the “dVol” attribute.
