GIS Features of the Geospatial Fabric for the National Hydrologic Model, Alaska Domain

Description

The Geospatial Fabric for National Hydrologic Modeling (Viger and Bock, 2014; Bock and others, 2020) is a dataset of hydrographic features and spatial data designed for use within the National Hydrologic Model that covers the conterminous United States (CONUS), Hawaii, and most major river basins that flow in from Canada. This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) data release consists of the geospatial fabric features and other related spatial datasets created to expand the National Hydrologic Model to Alaska. This child item contains data and information related to the GIS features of the Geospatial Fabric for National Hydrologic Model, Alaska domain. Two Open Geospatial Consortium geopackages are provided: one containing source layers that have had some pre-processing done from their native data formats (Reference_19.gpkg), and one (NHM_19.gpkg) containing 4 final feature layers for the NHM: points of interest (pois), a stream network (nsegment), aggregated catchments (catchments), and hydrologic response units (nhru). Features were derived from the MERRIT Hydro Global Hydrography Dataset.
