The dataset primarily maps features a 1:24,000-scale, but in certain areas provides detail at 1:5,000-scale. A version of the NHD called the NHDPlus is integrated with elevation and other landscape data to create detailed drainage catchments and flow volume and velocity estimates for streams and rivers of the U.S. at 1:100,000-scale.
3D rendering of a hydrologically-conditioned digital elevation model. This example from the U.S. Geological Survey shows “walling” or “fencing” using data from the Watershed Boundary Dataset (WBD) and “burning” of streams from the National Hydrography Dataset (NHDPlus).
The National Map is a significant contribution to the U.S. National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) from the Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) and currently is being transformed to better serve the geospatial community by providing high quality, integrated geospatial data and improved products and services including new generation ...
To address a growing need for remote access to high volume numerical weather prediction and global climate models and data, the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC), along with the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) and the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL), initiated the NOAA Operational Model Archive and Distribution System (NOMADS) project.
The product of such hydrography is most often seen on nautical charts published by the national agencies and required by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), [4] the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) [5] and national regulations to be carried on vessels for safety purposes. Increasingly those charts are provided and used in electronic ...
GIS revolutionized curation, manipulation, and input for complex computational hydrologic models [2] [3] For surface water modeling, digital elevation model are often layered with hydrographic data in order to determine the boundaries of a watershed. [4] Understanding these boundaries is integral to understanding where precipitation runoff will ...
Lititz Run is known as a model watershed project after wetland and riparian corridor restoration work was performed starting in 1997 by the Lititz Run Watershed Alliance. [ 4 ] The run powered industry in the area in the 1700s and 1800s, including mills at Millport, Oregon , and Pinetown and industry in Lititz.
A main product of the VORF project was the gridded vertical correction files which deliver the capability to transfer heights and depths from one vertical reference system to another, "allowing the direct use of depth data from surveys which is referred to a WGS84 compatible datum rather than Chart Datum and thus enabling Hydrographic surveyors to survey without the need to measure tides".
