Attributes for NHDPlus Version 2.1 Catchments and Modified Routing of Upstream Watersheds for the Conterminous United States: Wildfire 2000-2012

Metadata Updated: July 6, 2024

This tabular data set contains information on percent of wild fires per catchments for the years 2000 through 2012, and compiled for two spatial components of the NHDPlus version 2 data suite (NHDPlusv2) for the conterminous United States; 1) individual reach catchments and 2) reach catchments accumulated upstream through the river network. This dataset can be linked to the NHDPlus version 2 data suite by the unique identifier COMID. The source data is from the Wild Fire Decision Support System produced by the USDA Forestry Service (downloaded from http://wfdss.usgs.gov/wfdss/WFDSS_Home.shtml, 2016). The data provided here contains yearly information from 2000-2012, compiled as described above. The units are percents per catchments. Reach catchment information characterizes data at the local scale. Reach catchments accumulated upstream through the river network characterizes cumulative upstream conditions. Network-accumulated values are computed using two methods, 1) divergence-routed and 2) total cumulative drainage area. Both approaches use a modified routing database to navigate the NHDPlus reach network to aggregate (accumulate) the metrics derived from the reach catchment scale. (Schwarz and Wieczorek, 2018).
