LAGOSUS Lake information

Description

Includes information about lake identifiers used in LAGOS-US, information about lake location (i.e., lat, lon, and elevation), and the zone IDs for each spatial division containing the lake (e.g., state, county, hydrologic unit).

Details

Variable name	Variable name group	Lagosne variable name	Variable description	Units
lagoslakeid	lagoslakeid	lagoslakeid	unique lake identifier developed by LAGOS-US
lake_nhdid	nhdid	nhdid	the unique Permanent_Identifier from the NHD for each LAGOS lake
lake_nhdfcode	nhdfcode	nhd_fcode	NHD five-digit integer code with feature code plus additional characteristics or values
lake_nhdftype	nhdftype	nhd_ftype	NHD three-digit integer code providing a unique identifier of feature type for the waterbody
