Summary

The dataset provided here and described in this metadata document consists of several components: (1) pool-specific attributes including name and geographic location, (2) time-varying inundation observations collected between May 2004 and July 2016; (3) landscape attributes associated with pool locations including geologic, soil, and landcover characteristics; (4) short- and medium-term weather and climate variables for time periods (for example, 5-days and 6-months) immediately preceding the dates of inundation observations; and (5) long-term (30-year average) climate variables associated with pool locations.

Purpose

This dataset was used as the primary input to a machine-learning procedure to model the inundation patterns of vernal pools. Inundation observations in this dataset served as response variables in inundation models. Pool-specific attributes, weather and climate variables, and landscape attributes served as explanatory variables in inundation models. The inundation models that were trained using this dataset were subsequently used to predict pool inundation probabilities at several seasonal time points under a variety of weather and climate scenarios.
