“ChesBay 24k – HU": Human Related Data Summaries for the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Within NHD Plus HR catchments

Metadata Updated: July 6, 2024

These tabular data are the summarization of human related variables within the Chesapeake Bay watershed using the xstrm methodology bringing these data to the 1:24,000 scale. Variables being counted as human related include agriculture, barriers, road density and road/stream crossing data. Output include CSVs for both the local catchment and network summaries linked to the National Hydrography Dataset Plus High-Resolution (NHDPlus HR) catchments by NHDPlus ID. Additionally, for a full description of the variables included within these summaries see xstrm_nhdhr_human_chesapeake_baywide_datadictionary.csv in the attached files. For information about the summarization process parameters, see xstrm_nhdhr_cbay_human_summary_expanded_metadata.csv. The xstrm local summary methodology takes either raster or point data as input then summarizes those data by "zones" (hereafter referred to as catchment(s)), in this case the NHDPlus HR catchments.The network summaries then take the results from the local summaries and calculates the desired network summary statistic for the local catchment and its respective upstream or downstream catchments. As a note concerning use of these data, any rasters summarized within this process only had their cells included within a catchment if the center of the raster cell fell within the catchment boundary. However, the resolution of the input raster data for these summaries was considered to provide completely adequate coverage of the summary catchments using this option. If a confirmed complete coverage of a catchment is desired (even if a raster cell only is minimally included within the catchment) then it is recommended to rerun the xstrm summary process with the "All Touched" option set to True.
