<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>The data was created by reviewing the information contained in the Site Summaries. If the Site Summary contained a latitude/longitude of the location, the ArcView Geotools extension was used to create the point shp file. If the coordinate was not know, the tool was used to identify the coordinate by selecting the location from a georeferenced USGS quad map. The extents were identified from the Site Summary and each extents was copied from the 24K Coast shp file or from the Delta Shp file.

Bay-Delta SCHISM Processed Bathymetry

These datasets include processed Digital Elevation Models as used in important SCHISM studies, in particular the Delta Conveyance Project and 10 year retrospective. The datasets closely follow version 4.2 of our bathymetric data set but with three modifications:
* The DCP mesh includes some sections that are based on version 4.1 of our bathymetric data. These are bundled and labeled separately.
* Removal of subgrid curvature arifacts with the algorithm of Malladi and Sethian
* Inclusion of design surfaces for Lindsey Slough, Yolo Flyway Farms, Decker Island and Tule Red restoration areas.
* Synthetic extensions of the upstream reaches of the Sacramento and Mokelumne Rivers meant to prevent tidal reflection under extreme sea level rise. An extended lidar surface (not synthetic) is provided for the same purpose on Yolo Bypass

Positive Detection Breeding Bird Survey Route Stops - USGS [ds2800]

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>To create this dataset, a few of the datasets available online were combined. The "50-StopData", "SpeciesList", and "routes" were used and joined together by CDFW staff. Negative detections were recorded, but removed from this dataset due to size constraints.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>The 1966-2022 North American Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) dataset contains avian point count data for more than 700 North American bird taxa (species, races, and unidentified species groupings). These data are collected annually during the breeding season, primarily in June, along thousands of randomly established roadside survey routes in the United States and Canada. Routes are roughly 24.5 miles (39.2 km) long with counting locations placed at approximately half-mile (800-m) intervals, for a total of 50 stops. At each stop, a citizen scientist highly skilled in avian identification conducts a 3-minute point count, recording all birds seen within a quarter-mile (400-m) radius and all birds heard. Surveys begin 30 minutes before local sunrise and take approximately 5 hours to complete. Routes are surveyed once per year, with the total number of routes sampled per year growing over time; just over 500 routes were sampled in 1966, while in recent decades approximately 3000 routes have been sampled annually. No data are provided for 2020. BBS field activities were cancelled in 2020 because of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) global pandemic and observers were directed to not sample routes. In addition to avian count data, this dataset also contains survey date, survey start and end times, start and end weather conditions, a unique observer identification number, route identification information, and route location information including country, state, and BCR, as well as geographic coordinates of route start point, and an indicator of run data quality.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>

Transect Survey - 2016 - Terrestrial Species Stressor Monitoring [ds2833]

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>Visual Encounter Transect Surveys of reptiles, birds, and other vertebrate wildlife taxa were conducted at study sites in the Great Valley and Mojave Desert in 2016. A total of 1,856 transect surveys (GV: 517, MD: 1339) at 321 study sites (GV: 91, MD: 230) were conducted between March and July 2016. For each survey, observers walked two 200-meter transects and recorded counts of and distances to all wildlife observed. The two transects are laid out as a cross intersecting at a right angle, with this intersection occurring at survey site center. The exact orientation of the cross and the sinuosity of transects was left to the discretion of the surveyor(s) to optimize sampling of the site-designated lifeform and to facilitate ease of travel (e.g., barriers or steep slopes). In the case of a riparian lifeform site, one transect was aligned along or near the stream course, and the second along the gradient extending to either side of the stream course. In the case of a guzzler or wetland, transects were aligned along approximately perpendicular sides. A laser rangefinder was used to accurately measure the perpendicular distance from the transect to the location of each wildlife group at the instance of its initial observation. The crew also noted </SPAN><SPAN>all wildlife signs (tracks, scat, burrows, nests) observed; in particular, every scat group within a 1-m swath on either side of the transect was</SPAN><SPAN /><SPAN>noted and identified by species whenever possible. All scats and tracks were removed from the swath so that return visits encountered fresh sign.</SPAN><SPAN>Individual surveys focused on either reptiles and amphibians, or on birds and scat, but observations from all surveys were combined into this dataset. These data were used for distance sampling methods to estimate abundance. </SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>

<p>This map illustrates the variety of median project capacity
sizes across the United States and California counties for wind projects whose
total nameplate capacity is greater than or equal to 1 MW. The absence of
projects in the southeastern United States is attributable to low average wind
speeds (United States - Annual Average Wind Speed, AWS Truepower and National
Renewable Energy Lab). Hurricane strength winds are not usable with current technology.
Median project capacity is a function of the statewide capacity and the number
of projects within the defined area. August 3, 2022; Produced by the California

Limestone Salamander Habitat Model for NSNF Connectivity - CDFW [ds1044]

The Maxent modeling algorithm was used to build the species distribution model at 270 m spatial resolution using species occurrence points and environmental layers as predictors (Phillips et al. 2006). Species occurrence points were primarily obtained from CNDDB (California Natural Diversity Database) and other CDFW sources, GBIF (Global Biodiversity Information Facility), PRBO (Point Blue Conservation Science) and Arctos museum databases. Vegetation, distance to water, elevation, and bioclimatic variables (Franklin et al. 2013) were used as predictor variables. The models were run at 270 m spatial resolution with five replications using cross-validation as a method of sample evaluation. Cross-validation involved the partitioning of the sample data into n subsets, fitting the models to n-1subsets, and testing the model on the one subset not used in fitting the model. Initial model runs showed that our models converged around 2,000 iterations and for this reason we ran all models with 2,500 maximum iterations. Maxent was implemented in R using the ‘dismo''package (Hijmans et al. 2011). Model evaluation was carried out using the ‘PresenceAbsence''package in R (Freeman and Moisen 2008). We used AUC as a metric to evaluate model performance. The package also computes threshold values using several accuracy metrics to translate predicted probability maps into binary suitable and unsuitable habitats. We selected the MeanProb, a threshold set based on the mean predicted probability of species occurrences. The output from Maxent are grid datasets in a multiband ‘tif''format with one band for each replication. We averaged the five replicated maps and created a mean grid for each species. The grid was then symbolized to represent low (threshold-50), medium (50-75) and high (75-100) habitat suitability, with pixel values that are below the threshold excluded. Models were reviewed by CDFW species experts; please review the use limitations.For more information see the project report at [https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=85358].
