Summary

These data were released prior to the October 1, 2016 effective date for the USGS’s policy dictating the review, approval, and release of scientific data as referenced in USGS Survey Manual Chapter 502.8 Fundamental Science Practices: Review and Approval of Scientific Data for Release. The wntop_f grid represents the modeled elevation of the top of the Wanapum Basalt geomodel unit at a 500 foot resolution. It is one grid of a geomodel that consists of eleven grids and a spatial extent polygon shapefile. As part of a U.S. Geological Survey Groundwater Resources Program study, a three-dimensional geomodel was constructed for approximately 53,000 mi2 of the Columbia Plateau in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. This geomodel was constructed [...]

Purpose

The wntop_f grid represents the modeled elevation of the top of the Wanapum Basalt geomodel unit and was generated as part of a geomodel that will be used as the foundation for a groundwater flow model for the Columbia Plateau Regional Aquifer System. This study is part of the Groundwater Resources Program funded by the USGS Office of Groundwater. The report documenting and describing grid generation is: Burns, E.R., Morgan, D.S., Peavler, R.S., and Kahle, S.C., 2010, Three-Dimensional Digital Geomodel of the Columbia Plateau Regional Aquifer System, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2010-5246.
