In SSN: Spatial Modeling on Stream Networks

MiddleFork04.ssn data folder

Description

The MiddleFork04.ssn data folder contains the spatial, attribute, and topological information needed to construct a spatial stream network object using the SSN package.

Details

  The MiddleFork04.ssn folder contains five spatial datasets:
    edges:    polyline shapefile representing the stream network
    sites:    point shapefile representing the observed site locations
    CapeHorn: point shapefile representing prediction site locations on the Cape
              Horn River
    Knapp:    point shapefile representing prediction site locations on the Knapp
              River
    pred1km:  point shapefile representing the prediction site locations

  There is also 1 text file, netID1.txt, which contain the topological information
  for the stream network in the Middle Fork dataset.

  Attribute data is also stored within each of the spatial datasets. The column
  names are defined as follows:

  edges:

    GNIS_ID:	Geographic Names Information System identifier
    GNIS_Name: 	Feature name as found in the Geographic Names Information System

    REACHCODE:	Unique identifier for a reach. The first 8 digits contain
                the identfier for the HUC8 and the last 6 digits are a
                unique within-HUC8 identifier for the reach
    FCODE:	Numeric code that contains the feature type and it's attributes
    		as found in the NHDFCode lookup table

    rid:        Reach identifier

                area (h2oAreaKm2)
    afvArea:	Additive function value, calculated using areaPI
    upDist:     Distance from the stream outlet (most downstream location in the
                the stream network) to the uppermost location on the line segment
