Summary

This dataset includes spatial locations where surface water presence observations were collected during the late summer baseflow period in Mt. Rainier National Park and surrounding area in Washington State, July 2018 - September 2020. Stream flow status (continuous flow, discontinuous flow, and dry) were recorded using the FLOwPER (FLOw PERmanence) field survey available in the Survey 123 and S1 mobile application for observations collected in 2019 and 2020. Observations collected in 2018 used an earlier version of the FLOwPER survey. Additional information to describe the field conditions are included as part of the survey. The observations were processed to correspond to pixels on the medium resolution National Hydrography Dataset [...]

Purpose

Stream flow observations were processed for input into the Mt. Rainier Random Forest (MORA RF) model. The model is a GIS raster-based empirical model of probabilistic predictions of a stream channel having surface flow during the late summer dry season in Mt. Rainier National Park and surrounding areas in Washington State, U.S. The processed stream flow observations can be used for a variety of purposes including research and management of land, water, and ecosystem resources.
