| Variable name | ||||
| ID | 1 | 5 | Integer | System variable - grid cell identifier. |
| ELAVG | 6 | 13 | Real | Data variable - mean elevation of all positive 5´ by 5´ grid cells within a given 0.25° grid cell; values in meters. |
| ELMAX | 14 | 21 | Real | Data variable - maximum elevation of all positive 5´ by 5´ grid cells within a given 0.25° grid cell; values in meters. |
| ELMIN | 22 | 29 | Real | Data variable - minimum elevation of all positive 5´ by 5´ grid cells within a given 0.25° grid cell; values in meters. |
| ELNUM | 30 | 33 | Integer | Data variable - number of 5´ by 5´ grid cells used in calculating ELAVG, ELMIN, and ELMAX for a given 0.25° grid cell. |
| ELR | 34 | 37 | Integer | Data variable - classified version of the mean elevation variable (i.e., ELAVG). |
| GL | 38 | 41 | Integer | Data variable - ordinal value indicative of the resistance of the rocks to erosion. |
| GLR | 42 | 45 | Integer | Data variable - classified version of the geology variable (i.e., GL). |
| GM | 46 | 49 | Integer | Data variable - ordinal value indicative of the susceptibility of the landforms to inundation and erosion. |
| GMR | 50 | 53 | Integer | Data variable - classified version of the geomorphology variable (i.e., GM). |
| SLR | 54 | 61 | Real | Data variable - relative sea-level trend calculated from tide-gauge station measurements. |
| SLG | 62 | 69 | Real | Data variable - long-term geologic trend. This variable is 0.0 for all line segments with a relative sea-level trend value, and is included for compatibility within this series of NDPs. |
| SLC | 70 | 77 | Real | Data variable - corrected sea-level trend. Since the geologic trend variable contains only values of 0.0, this variable appears identical to the relative sea-level trend variable, and is included for compatibility within this series of NDPs. |
| SLS | 1 | 8 | Real | Data variable - the local uplift or subsidence trend. The relative sea-level trend corrected for the global eustatic rate of sea-level rise (i.e., 1.5 mm/year). |
| SLYR | 9 | 12 | Integer | Data variable - years of record used in estimating the sea-level trend for each 0.25° grid cell. |
| LSR | 13 | 16 | Integer | Data variable - classified version of the local subsidence trend variable (i.e., SLS). |
| ERAVG | 17 | 24 | Real | Data variable - mean long-term erosion trend for given 0.25° grid cell; values in meters. |
| ERMAX | 25 | 32 | Real | Data variable - maximum long-term erosion trend for a given 0.25° grid cell; values in meters. |
| ERMIN | 33 | 40 | Real | Data variable - minimum long-term erosion trend for a given 0.25° grid cell; values in meters. |
| ERNUM | 41 | 44 | Integer | Data variable - number of 3´, 7.5´, or 15´ grid cells used in calculating ERAVG, ERMIN, and ERMAX for a given 0.25° grid cell. |
| ERR | 45 | 48 | Integer | Data variable - classified version of the mean erosion/accretion variable (i.e., ERAVG). |
| TRAVG | 49 | 56 | Real | Data variable - average of the mean tide range for all gauge stations that occur within a given 0.25° grid cell (TRAVG is the difference between mean high water and mean low water in 1992); values in meters. |
| TRMAX | 57 | 64 | Real | Data variable - maximum tide range measured for all gauge stations that occurred within a given 0.25° grid cell in 1992 (this value may be the "spring" or "diurnal" tide range, depending on geographic location); values in meters. |
| TRLVL | 65 | 72 | Real | Data variable - the average of the mean tide levels of all the gauge stations that occur within a given 0.25° grid cell (mean tide level is a plane midway between mean low water and mean high water in 1992). Values were reckoned from the West Coast Mean Low Water Datum. |
| TRNUM | 73 | 76 | Integer | Data variable - number of tide gauge stations used in calculating TRAVG, TRMAX, and TRLVL for a given 0.25° grid cell. |
| TRR | 77 | 80 | Integer | Data variable - classified version of the mean tide range variable (i.e., TRAVG). |

| WHR | 25 | 28 | Integer | Data variable - classified version of the maximum significant wave-height variable (i.e., WHMAX). |
