Land Change Monitoring, Assessment, and Projection (LCMAP) Collection 1.3 Annual Land Cover and Land Cover Change Validation Tables (1985–2021) for the Conterminous United States

A validation assessment of Land Cover Monitoring, Assessment, and Projection Collection 1.3 annual land cover products (1985–2021) for the Conterminous United States was conducted with an independently collected reference dataset. Reference data land cover attributes were assigned by trained interpreters for each year of the time series (1984–2021) at a reference sample of 26,971 Landsat resolution (30m x 30m) pixels. These pixels were selected from a sample frame of all pixels in the ARD grid system which fell within the map area (Dwyer et al., 2018). Interpretation used the TimeSync reference data collection tool which visualizes Landsat images and Landsat data values for all usable images in the time series (1984–2021) (Cohen et al., 2010). Interpreters also referred to air photos and high-resolution images available in Google Earth as well as several ancillary data layers. The interpreted land cover attributes were crosswalked to the LCMAP annual land cover classes: Developed, Cropland, Grass/Shrub, Tree Cover, Wetland, Water, Snow/Ice and Barren.
Validation analysis directly compared reference labels with annual LCMAP land cover map attributes by cross tabulation. The results of that assessment are reported here as confusion matrices for land cover agreement and land cover change agreement. Accuracy and standard errors have been calculated using stratified estimation (Stehman, 2014). Land cover class proportions were also estimated from the reference data for each year, 1985–2021. A cluster sampling formulation was used to calculate standard sampling error for summary tables reporting results for multiple years of data comparison.

Interpolated 5-m bathymetric grid of NOAA survey H11045 off Bridgeport, Connecticut (H11045_BATHY5)

The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection, has produced detailed geologic maps of the sea floor in Long Island Sound, a major East Coast estuary surrounded by the most densely populated region of the United States.  These studies have built upon cooperative research with the State of Connecticut that was initiated in 1982.  The current phase of this research program is directed toward studies of sea-floor sediment distribution, processes that control sediment distribution, nearshore environmental concerns, and the relation of benthic community structures to the sea-floor geology.
The bathymetry data in this data set were collected during 2003 for charting applications as part of NOAA project OPR-B340-RU, survey H11045 aboard the NOAA Ship RUDE. The RUDE, which supports NOAA's east-coast nautical charting mission, is outfitted to acquire single-beam bathymetry with an Odom Echotrac DF-3200 duel frequency echosounder and shallow water multibeam bathymetry with a Reson 8125 system.  The Reson multibeam system operates at 455 KHz with a 120 degree across track swath and 240 beams along its swath.

Mean annual groundwater recharge rates for Molokaʻi for historical and future drought conditions, and 2020 land cover

This shapefile represents the spatial distribution of mean annual groundwater recharge, in inches, for Molokaʻi, Hawaiʻi for two water-budget scenarios. The two scenarios include: (1) historical drought rainfall and 2020 land cover, and (2) future drought rainfall and 2020 land cover. Historical drought rainfall is monthly rainfall during 1998–2002 from Frazier and others (2016), whereas future drought rainfall is monthly rainfall during 1998–2002 rainfall adjusted for a Representative Concentration Pathway 8.5 2071-99 (RCP8.5 2071–99) projection from Elison Timm and others (2015). Monthly rainfall for each scenario was disaggregated into daily values using daily rainfall during 1998–2002 from Longman and others (2019). A 2020 land-cover map developed by Kāne and others (2024a, 2024b) was used to define the land-cover conditions and the model subareas. Groundwater recharge for each model subarea was computed for each scenario using a water-budget model developed by Oki (2022). The shapefile attribute information associated with each subarea present an estimate of mean annual groundwater recharge, and select geographic and land-cover attributes. Brief descriptions of the groundwater recharge estimates and attributes are included in this metadata file. Refer to Mair and others (2024) for further details of the methods and sources used to determine groundwater recharge and the attributes.
