Water surface elevations of the base flood for the central Arizona Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM)
Water surface elevations of the base flood as approved by the Federal mergency management Agency (FEMA) for the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM). The base flood elevation, in feet, is in relation to the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929. Profile baselines are for the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM). The cross section data are used for the production of Flood Insurance Rate Maps. The Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) show different floodplains with different zone designations. These are primarily for insurance rating purposes, but the zone differentiation can be very helpful for other floodplain management purposes. The differentiated floodplain zones are used for the production of Flood Insurance Rate Maps. Maricopa County has been subdivided into FIRM panels for the publication and distribution of FIRMs. Profile baselines are for the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM).

Integrated Terrain Unit Map (ITUM) for Martinelli Slope, Niwot Ridge LTER Project Area, Colorado
A 300 x 600 m integrated terrain unit map (ITUM) was produced at 1:500 scale inside the 350 x 650 m Martinelli grid, and the 1:500 digital elevation model (DEM). Vegetation was mapped using Komarkova's (1979) classification system (Braun-Blanquet) units. All map units were mapped to 1/8-inch minimum map-polygon-size resolution. The map is part of the Martinelli grid geographic information system (GIS). Many GIS projects use an approach in which existing mapped information is digitized into the GIS database directly from the original sources. The maps may have different map scale, map-unit resolutions, dates of data collection, and classification systems. When these different sources are combined in a GIS, artifacts may arise due to boundary mismatches and scale incompatibility (Dangermond and Harnden 1990). Integrated geobotanical mapping can minimize many of these problems. This method simultaneously maps vegetation and other terrain features that are interpreted on a common air-photo base (Everett et al. 1978, Walker et al. 1980). We use the term geobotany in its traditional European sense to refer to the study of plant communities and their relationships to geology, landforms, and soils (Braun-Blanquet 1932). Terrain geomorphic boundaries are used to guide the delineation on aerial photographs of most major vegetation boundaries similiar to the landscape-guided vegetation mapping approach developed in Europe (Zonneveld 1988) and the integrated terrain unit mapping approach developed by the Environmental System Research Institute in Redlands, CA (Dangermond and Harnden 1990). Additional information concerning the Niwot Ridge LTER GIS can be found in Walker et al. (1993). [1]Braun-Blanquet, J. 1932. Plant sociology: The study of plant communities.

Aquarius Official Release Level 3 Rain-flagged Sea Surface Salinity Standard Mapped Image Ascending Seasonal Climatology Data V5.0
Aquarius Level 3 sea surface salinity (SSS) rain-flagged standard mapped image data contains gridded 1 degree spatial resolution SSS averaged over daily, 7 day, monthly, and seasonaltime scales. This particular data set is the seasonal climatology, Ascending rain-flagged rain-flagged sea surface salinity product for version 5.0 of the Aquarius data set. Only retrieved values for Ascending passes have been used to create this product. The Aquarius instrument is onboard the AQUARIUS/SAC-D satellite, a collaborative effort between NASA and the Argentinian Space Agency Comision Nacional de Actividades Espaciales (CONAE). The instrument consists of three radiometers in push broom alignment at incidence angles of 29, 38, and 46 degrees incidence angles relative to the shadow side of the orbit. Footprints for the beams are: 76 km (along-track) x 94 km (cross-track), 84 km x 120 km and 96km x 156 km, yielding a total cross-track swath of 370 km. The radiometers measure brightness temperature at 1.413 GHz in their respective horizontal and vertical polarizations (TH and TV). A scatterometer operating at 1.26 GHz measures ocean backscatter in each footprint that is used for surface roughness corrections in the estimation of salinity. The scatterometer has an approximate 390km swath.
NACP Forest Age Maps at 1-km Resolution for Canada (2004) and the U.S.A. (2006)
This data set provides forest age map products at 1-km resolution for Canada and the United States (U.S.A.). These continental forest age maps were compiled from forest inventory data, historical fire data, optical satellite data, and the images from NASA’s Landsat Ecosystem Disturbance Adaptive Processing System (LEDAPS) project. These input data products have various sources and creation dates as described in the source paper by Pan et al. (2011). Canadian maps were produced with data available through 2004 and U.S.A. maps with data available through 2006. A supplementary map of the standard deviations for age estimates was developed for quantifying uncertainty.Note that the Pan et al. (2011) paper is included as a companion file with this data set and was the source of descriptions in the guide.Forest age, implicitly reflecting the past disturbance legacy, is a simple and direct surrogate for the time since disturbance and may be used in various forest carbon analyses that concern the impact of disturbances. By combining geographic information about forest age with estimated carbon dynamics by forest type, it is possible to conduct a simple but powerful analysis of the net CO2 uptake by forests, and the potential for increasing (or decreasing) this rate as a result of direct human intervention in the disturbance/age status.

RSS SMAP Level 3 Sea Surface Salinity Standard Mapped Image Monthly V6.0 Validated Dataset
The RSS SMAP Level 3 Sea Surface Salinity Standard Mapped Image Monthly V6.0 Validated Dataset produced by the Remote Sensing Systems (RSS) and sponsored by the NASA Ocean Salinity Science Team, is a validated product that provides orbital/swath data on sea surface salinity (SSS) derived from the NASA's Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) mission. The SMAP satellite was launched on 31 January 2015 with a near-polar orbit at an inclination of 98 degrees and an altitude of 685 km. It has an ascending node time of 6 pm and is sun-synchronous. With its 1000km swath, SMAP achieves global coverage in approximately 3 days, but has an exact orbit repeat cycle of 8 days. Malfunction of the SMAP scatterometer on 7 July, 2015, has necessitated the use of collocated wind speed, primarily from WindSat, for the surface roughness correction required for the surface salinity retrieval.<br><br>The major changes in Version 6.0 from Version 5.0 are: (1) Removal of biases during the first few months of the SMAP mission that are related to the operation of the SMAP radar during that time. (2) Mitigation of biases that depend on the SMAP look angle. (3) Mitigation of salty biases at high Northern latitudes. (4) Revised sun-glint flag. The RSS SMAP L3 monthly product includes data for a range of parameters: derived sea surface salinity (SSS) with SSS-uncertainty, rain filtered SMAP sea surface salinity, collocated wind speed, data and ancillary reference surface salinity data from HYCOM. Each data file is available in netCDF-4 file format and is averaged over one-month time intervals with about 7-day latency (after the end of the averaging period). Data begins on April 1,2015 and is ongoing. Observations are global in extent with an approximate spatial resolution of 40KM. Note that while a SSS 40KM variable is also included in the product for most open ocean applications, The standard product of the SMAP Version 6.0 release is the smoothed salinity product with a spatial resolution of approximately 70 km.

RSS SMAP Level 3 Sea Surface Salinity Standard Mapped Image 8-Day Running Mean V5.0 Validated Dataset
The version 5.0 SMAP-SSS level 3, 8-Day running mean gridded product is based on the fifth release of the validated standard mapped sea surface salinity (SSS) data from the NASA Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) observatory, produced operationally by Remote Sensing Systems (RSS). The major changes in Version 5.0 from Version 4 are: (1) the addition of formal uncertainty estimates to all salinity retrieval products. (2) Sea-ice flagging and sea-ice side-lobe correction based on direct ingestion of AMSR-2 brightness temperature (TB) measurements. This is in contrast to Version 4 and earlier versions in which the sea-ice correction was based on an external sea-ice concentration product. The use of AMSR-2 TB measurements in the SMAP Version 5 products allows for salinity retrievals closer to the sea-ice edge and aids in the detection of large icebergs near the Antarctic. Daily data files for this product are based on SSS averages spanning an 8-day moving time window. SMAP data begins on April 1,2015 and is ongoing. L3 products are global in extent with a default spatial resolution of approximately 70KM. The datasets are gridded at 0.25degree x 0.25degree. Note that while a SSS 40KM variable is also included in the product, for most open ocean applications, the default SSS variable (70KM) is best used as they are significantly less noisy than the 40KM data. The SMAP satellite is in a near-polar orbit at an inclination of 98 degrees and an altitude of 685 km. It has an ascending node time of 6 pm and is sun-synchronous. With its 1000km swath, SMAP achieves global coverage in approximately 3 days, but has an exact orbit repeat cycle of 8 days. On board instruments include a highly sensitive L-band radiometer operating at 1.41GHz and an L-band 1.26GHz radar sensor providing complementary active and passive sensing capabilities. Malfunction of the SMAP scatterometer on 7 July, 2015, has necessitated the use of collocated wind speed, primarily from WindSat, for the surface roughness correction required for the surface salinity retrieval.
