Kentucky Weather Observation Points

National Partnership The Kentucky Climate Center, housed in the Department of Geography and Geology, is the State Climate Office for Kentucky recognized by the American Association of State Climatologists. As a member of the National Climate Services Partnership, the Kentucky Climate Center is a partner with the National Climatic Data Center, the Midwestern Regional Climate Center, and the National Weather Service. Community Outreach The Kentucky Mesonet provides outreach to local communities, enhancing quality of life for people throughout the commonwealth. Outreach starts by working with local officials and stakeholders to identify sites that meet scientific criteria and provide added community benefits. Mesonet data are easily accessible and can be used to improve local forecasts and severe weather warnings, aid emergency response efforts, enhance agricultural productivity, assist local utility providers, and support business and industry. Education and Research Data from the Kentucky Mesonet will be available in every K-12 classroom throughout the commonwealth to support science and math education. The data is currently being used in advanced research in atmospheric science, hydrology, water resources, agriculture, decision making and could be used in many other fields. Moreover, Faculty and students in Kentucky's eight public universities are charter members of the Kentucky Mesonet Consortium. Cyberinfrastructure The Kentucky Mesonet is part of a larger effort at Western Kentucky University to build a cyberinfrastructure for environmental monitoring and decision support, thereby strengthening Kentucky's economic competitiveness through advanced science and technology
Kentucky One-Minute Carter Coordinate Grid

One-minute Carter Coordinate Grid. The Carter coordinate system is a grid, based on latitude and longitude, used to locate oil and gas wells in Kentucky. The system was developed by the Carter Oil Company to mimic the township and range location system in areas that had not been surveyed. The State is divided into a regular grid with each cell (or quad) being five minutes of latitude by five minutes of longitude. These quads are assigned letters (equivalent of the township) beginning with A in the south and increasing through Z and AA to GG northward. The quads are assigned numbers (equivalent of the range) beginning with zero (0) in the west and increasing to 92 in the east. Each five-minute by five-minute quad is further subdivided into 25 one-minute by one-minute sections. Within the one-minute section, the location is pinpointed by specifying the distance from an adacent pair of one-minute section boundaries to the well. The Carter coordinate is written by specifying a pair of footages from the one-minute section boundaries and the reference boundary (north, south, east, or west) for each, the one-minute section number, the five-minutes quad letter, and the five-minute quad number. A Carter coordinate and topographic index map of Kentucky is available from Publication Sales at the Kentucky Geological Survey. Data Download: [https://kgs.uky.edu/kgsweb/download/state/CARTER1.ZIP]

Kentucky Populated Places No Urban Legacy

**LEGACY EDITION** This dataset is a subset of populated places in the Commonwealth of Kentucky as listed in the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). It does not include any GNIS place names that fall within the city limits of any city. In 2021 the following geographic features referred to as “administrative” (cultural or man-made) were removed from GNIS: airport, bridge, building, cemetery, church, dam, forest, harbor, hospital, mine, oilfield, park, post office, reserve, school, tower, trail, tunnel, and well.** The Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) is the Federal standard for geographic nomenclature. The U.S. Geological Survey developed the GNIS for the U.S. Board on Geographic Names, a Federal inter-agency body chartered by public law to maintain uniform feature name usage throughout the Government and to promulgate standard names to the public. The GNIS is the official repository of domestic geographic names data; the official vehicle for geographic names use by all departments of the Federal Government; and the source for applying geographic names to Federal electronic and printed products of all types.

NRCS SSURGO Soils Special Features in Kentucky (Lines)

This feature class represents the special soil features that are delineated as one or more lines. It is generally the most detailed level of soil geographic data developed by the National Cooperative Soil Survey. The information was prepared by digitizing maps, by compiling information onto a planimetric correct base and digitizing, or by revising digitized maps using remotely sensed and other information. This layer displays the location of features too small to delineate at the mapping scale, but they are large enough and contrasting enough to significantly influence use and management. The features are linked to attributes in the featdesc attribute table. The map data are in a state-wide extent format. The dataset was created for use in national, regional, and state-wide resource planning and analysis of soils data. The Soil Survey Geographic (SSURGO) Database depicts information about the kinds and distribution of soils on the landscape. The soil map and data used in the SSURGO product were prepared by soil scientists as part of the National Cooperative Soil Survey. Data Download: [https://ky.box.com/v/kymartian-nrcs-ssurgo-soils]

KyFromAbove Phase1 First Return DSM (Image Service)

Through a collaboration with Kentucky State University (KSU) and the Commonwealth Office of Technology's Division of Geographic Information (DGI), a DSM/DTM raster was extracting using first return values only from the LAS files. When AML created the raster files, DGI mosaiced the raster dataset, and identified several artifacts (slivers of missing data near tile corners). The areas with missing data were re-processed, but on a much larger scale to prevent these artifacts from appearing. Most artfifacts were eliminated, but a few remain. An attempt to fix these areas is continuous.

Opportunity Zones in Kentucky

Eligible low-income census tracts are tracts in which: (1) The tract has a poverty rate of at least 20%; or (2)(A) For a census tract in a metropolitan area, the tract’s median family income does not exceed 80% of the greater of (A) the metropolitan area median family income or (B) statewide median family income; or (2)(B) For a census tract in a non-metropolitan area, the tract does not exceed 80% of the statewide median family income. However, in the case of a census tract located within a high migration rural county, low-income is defined by reference to 85% of statewide median family income. A “high migration rural county” is any rural county that, during the 20-year period ending with the year in which the most recent census was conducted, has a net outmigration of inhabitants from the county of at least 10% of the county population at the beginning of such period. Census tracts that are not low-income communities can be designated as Opportunity Zones if the tract is contiguous with a low income community that is designated as an Opportunity Zone and the median family income of the tract does not exceed 125% of the median family income of the low-income community with which the tract is contiguous. However, not more than 5% of the tracts designated as Opportunity Zones in a state may be designated under this provision. A determination that a tract is an Opportunity Zone shall remain in effect for ten calendar years. [Download]
