Steps for Reprocessing Elevation Data

1. Select the project horizontal and vertical datums and projections
2. If necessary convert bathymetric/topographic input files to the correct projection and datums
3. Checking dataset coverages
   1. Bring each bathymetric/topographic dataset into SMS
   2. If two datasets overlap select the dataset taken closer to the simulation period
   3. Delete the correct dataset in the overlapping regions
4. Outlier removal
   1. If available, bring in aerial photographs or satellite images into SMS. This is very helpful for orienting and determining outlier points.
   2. Zoom-in to an individual dataset
   3. Set the contour color scheme for the scatterset to a narrow range so that outliers can easily be spotted.
   4. Delete outlier points
5. Save individual datsets with a different name
