The StreamCat Dataset: Accumulated Attributes for NHDPlusV2 (Version 2.1) Catchments for the Conterminous United States: GeoChemPhys

Description

This dataset represents geochemical or geophysical attributes in surface or near surface geology within individual, local NHDPlusV2 catchments and upstream, contributing watersheds. Attributes of the landscape layer were calculated for every local NHDPlusV2 catchment and accumulated to provide watershed-level metric. For information regarding how the Landscape layers were created see https://www.sciencebase.gov/catalog/item/53481333e4b06f6ce034aae7. Landscape Layers are partitioned into 4 tables based on the location of no-data cells within their rasters to correctly reflect the PctFull attributes within each table.

2 StreamCat currently contains over 600 metrics that include local catchment (Cat), watershed (Ws), and special metrics. The special metrics were derived through modeling or by combining other StreamCat metrics. These variables include predicted water temperature, predicted biological condition, and the indexes of catchment and watershed integrity. See Geospatial Framework and Terms below for definitions of catchment and watershed as used with the StreamCat Dataset. These metrics are available for ~2.65 million stream segments and their associated catchments across the conterminous US. StreamCat metrics represent both natural (e.g., soils and geology) and anthropogenic (e.g, urban areas and agriculture) landscape information. https://www.epa.gov/national-aquatic-resource-surveys/streamcat-dataset
