Summary

This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) metadata release consists of 17 different spatial layers in GeoTIFF format. They are: 1) average water capacity (AWC.zip), 2) percent sand (Sand.zip), 3) percent silt (Silt.zip), 4) percent clay (Clay.zip), 5) soil texture (TEXT_PRMS.zip), 6) land use/land cover (LULC.zip), 7) snow values (Snow.zip), 8) summer rain values (SRain.zip), 9) winter rain values (WRain.zip), 10) leaf presence values (keep.zip), 11) leaf loss values (loss.zip), 12) percent tree canopy (CNPY.zip), 13) percent impervious surface (Imperv.zip), 14) snow depletion curve numbers (Snow.zip), 15) rooting depth (RootDepth.zip), 16) permeability values (Lithology_exp_Konly_Project.zip), and 17) water bodies. All data cover the National [...]

Summary

This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) metadata release consists of 17 different spatial layers in GeoTIFF format. They are: 1) average water capacity (AWC.zip), 2) percent sand (Sand.zip), 3) percent silt (Silt.zip), 4) percent clay (Clay.zip), 5) soil texture (TEXT_PRMS.zip), 6) land use/land cover (LULC.zip), 7) snow values (Snow.zip), 8) summer rain values (SRain.zip), 9) winter rain values (WRain.zip), 10) leaf presence values (keep.zip), 11) leaf loss values (loss.zip), 12) percent tree canopy (CNPY.zip), 13) percent impervious surface (Imperv.zip), 14) snow depletion curve numbers (Snow.zip), 15) rooting depth (RootDepth.zip), 16) permeability values (Lithology_exp_Konly_Project.zip), and 17) water bodies. All data cover the National Hydrologic Model's (NHM) version 1.1 domain. The NHM is a modeling infrastructure consisting of three main parts: 1) an underlying geospatial fabric of modeling units (hydrologic response units and stream segments) with an associated parameter database, 2) a model input data archive, and 3) a repository of the physical model simulation code bases (Regan and others, 2014). The NHM has been used for a variety of applications since its initial development.The 250-meter (m) raster data sets for soils are derived from the OpenGeoHub's LandGIS data (Hengl, 2018). The 30-meter raster of land use and land cover data are a simplified re-classification version of the North American Land-Change Monitoring System (NALCMS, Latifovic and others, 2012) data following the guidance in Viger and Leavesley (2007). This layer was used to derive rasters representing dominant vegetative cover type, snow, summer and winter rain interception values, leaf cover and loss, and rooting depth. The impervious data was compiled from the Global Man-made Impervious Surface (GMIS) Dataset from Landsat, v1 (NASA, 2010). The tree canopy data was compiled from MOD44B MODIS/Terra Vegetation Continuous Fields Yearly L3 Global 250m SIN Grid V006, (Carroll and others, 2017). The snow depletion data was compiled from data by Liston and others (2009) and further processed using methods by Sexstone and others (2020). All file formats are in GeoTIFF (Geograhpic Tagged Imaged Format).
