Maryland Annual Vehicle Miles of Travel

Annual Vehicle Miles of Travel (AVMT) represents the estimated number of miles driven on Maryland's public highways for a given year. There are two components used to estimate AVMT - traffic count data and highway mileage. Traffic count data is summarized and reported as Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT). AADTs are calculated from short-term (48-hour) traffic counts performed on all publicly maintained roads in Maryland (including county and municipal). These counts are factored to account for seasonal variation in traffic patterns and represent an “Average Day”. For planning purposes, AADT's are assigned to highway segments in order to provide a picture of traffic patterns is on the highway system on an average day. Highway mileage statistics are complied annually based on mileage reports from the local jurisdictions and SHA and MDTA offices. Any mileage changes are field verified by SHA's data collections crews. AVMT is calculated by multiplying the AADT on a road segment by the segment length. Because AADT represents Daily traffic, the result is multiplied by 365 to represent Annual Vehicle Miles of Travel. (AVMT = AADT X SECTION LENGTH X365)

Maryland_Adams_Radar_Geographic_Area_of_Concern

Radar viewshed for the Advanced Dynamic Aircraft Measurement Systems (ADAMS) radar at Naval Air Station Patuxent River. Radars locate an object’s position by emitting electromagnetic waves that reflect off objects, such as planes, birds, and mountains, and are returned to the radar. The electromagnetic waves that are returned to the radar provide the information needed to calculate an estimated size, location, speed, and direction of an object. The radar viewshed, or field of view, is the area that is within range of a radar’s electromagnetic waves. The range of the viewshed is influenced by multiple factors, including the radar’s look angle, terrain, weather, as well as natural and manmade objects. Natural and man-made structures within a radar’s field of view can limit the range of the viewshed by blocking electromagnetic waves, which impacts the integrity and usefulness of a radar in identifying and locating aircraft, watercraft, weather, or other objects such as missiles. Additionally, other electromagnetic activity, such as radio waves or microwaves, in the vicinity of a radar transmitter and/or receiver (typically within 8 to 10 miles) can interfere with the electromagnetic waves emitted by the radar. One of the most crucial components within the radar viewshed is the line-of-sight, which is the linear path between the transmitter and receiver (when not the same antenna). An obstruction to this linear path can result in loss communication signals between the transmitter and receiver rendering the radar ineffective.

Maryland 2006-2020 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory - gross emissions subset

This is a subset of the Maryland 2006-2020 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory dataset. This subset includes only the gross emissions sources and excludes the Forestry & Land Use emissions sinks. The Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction Act (Maryland Code, Environment Article §2-1203) requires the Maryland Department of the Environment to prepare and publish an updated inventory of statewide greenhouse gas emissions on a three-year cycle. This dataset covers the inventory years of 2006, 2011, 2014, 2017 and 2020. Maryland's greenhouse gas emissions inventory tracks emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) occurring in the state and from out-of-state electricity generation consumed in the state. These gases have differing lifetimes in the atmosphere and differing warming impacts. The Global Warming Potential (GWP) is a measure of the warming impact of a particular gas over a particular time horizon. GWP values allow for aggregating emissions of the different greenhouse gases into a single metric, known as carbon dioxide equivalent, and reported in the inventory in million metric tons (MMTCO2e). As required by the Climate Solutions Now Act of 2022, MD's GHG inventory reports emissions with a GWP considered over a 20-year time horizon. Emissions are also presented using a GWP over a 100-yr time horizon, consistent with conventional national and international inventory protocols. The 20-yr GWP emissions are to be used in evaluating progress towards Maryland's GHG reduction goals.

Marsh Protection Potential Index

The Marsh Protection Potential Index (MPPI) ranks Maryland’s coastal marshes by their ability to protect vulnerable communities from coastal hazards. To do so, we identified five key questions to assess each marsh: How much is the marsh able to reduce the impact of coastal hazards? Is the marsh located where coastal hazards are a threat? Is the marsh located where there are people to protect? Is the marsh located adjacent to other protective habitats? Is the marsh likely to survive in the face of rising sea levels? Using data from the Coastal Resiliency Assessment and other sources, we developed metrics to score each marsh on these five questions. Then, the sub-scores were combined to create the Marsh Protection Potential Index overall rating, which ranks the protective ability of over 14,000 marshes statewide. It is important to note that the MPPI ranks marshes relative to other marshes, rather than providing an absolute measure of protective services. The Marsh Protection Potential Index does not attempt to describe the dollar-value of protective services provided by each marsh, nor does it compare marshes to other types of habitat or to other protection infrastructure solutions. In addition, the MPPI does not assess marshes on any of the other characteristics that often inform conservation priorities. Things like biodiversity, ecosystem health, rare species, recreation value, or water quality services are often important to stakeholders, and these are not captured by the MPPI. The MPPI is intended to supplement, not replace, the other ways conservation decision-makers prioritize natural habitats.
Marsh Buffer

Shoreline Situation Reports (SSR) were first generated by VIMS in the 1970s to report the condition and status of the shore lands. The SSR series were published in hardcopy on a county by county basis for each of the Tidewater Virginia localities. The reports were intended to assist planners, managers, and regulators in decisions pertaining to management of coastal areas and natural resources therein. The techniques developed for Virginia's shoreline are used to create similar reports for the Maryland shoreline. Data collected describes conditions in the immediate riparian zone, the bank, and along the shore. These data should not be used for jurisdictional permit determinations beyond providing general shoreline condition or status information. These data have not been surveyed to property boundaries.
Marine Jurisdictions

The NOAA Coastal Services Center's Marine Jurisdiction dataset was created to assist in marine spatial planning and offshore alternative energy sitting. This is a composite dataset derived from a collection of authoritative marine boundary data provided by the DIO Minerals Management Service and the NOAA Office of Coast Survey. NOT LEGALLY BINDING. This dataset is not an authoritative data source for marine boundaries, please see the Minerals Management Service and NOAA Office of Coast Survey for authoritative data and more comprehensive use constraints.
