What is NED 1/3 arc second?
A. NED 1/3 arc second (~ 10 meter resolution) is processed and assembled the same as the NED 1 arc second, but the source data is 10 meter elevation data or higher resolution. There is not complete coverage of the United States. Only ~ 70% of the US has source 10 meter coverage. New NED 1/3 arc second data is updated when new 10 meter DEM’s or higher resolution data is received.
