Summary

Tabular data that represent the proportion of area classified as waterfowl habitat for each of three series of habitat maps were developed based on water distributed across the Central Valley and Suisun Marsh in California during October-March of 2014-15 through 2017-18. We used open water data (version without cloud-filling) publicly available on Point Blue Conservation's California Water Tracker web site and which Point Blue derived at 16-18 day intervals from mosaics of Landsat 8 imagery for the region including the Central Valley and Suisun Marsh. Each record in the data set represents a mosaic within a specific range of dates of imagery that together bound the Central Valley and Suisun Marsh spatial extent. In a geographic information [...]

Purpose

Open water data mosaics were processed to summarize and evaluate the relative performance among waterfowl habitat maps (developed using these same mosaics) at over- or under-classifying waterfowl habitat. These data may be appropriately used when combined with telemetry or other data to evaluate suitability of habitat maps used for understanding relationships between waterfowl, or potentially other waterbirds, and habitat classified in maps derived from open water data.
