Geographic database, Reynolds Creek Experimental Watershed, Idaho, United States

Abstract

The Reynolds Creek Experimental Watershed (RCEW) exhibits spatial variability typical of the intermountain region. We provide a geographic database to provide continuous spatial coverage of landscape properties that may be useful for distributed hydrological modeling or other kinds of spatial analyses and to provide a spatial context for point measurements that have been part of the long-term monitoring described in companion papers. All data are available as separate geographic information system (GIS) layers which can be selected independently according to need. The base map for all the RCEW GIS layers is a 30 m resolution digital elevation model. Data are available in either vector or raster format where appropriate via the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, Northwest Watershed Research Center anonymous ftp site ftp.nwrc.ars.usda.gov.
