The attached file includes a data-processing script for a study to model the hydrology of several hundred vernal pools (i.e., seasonal pools or ephemeral wetlands) across the northeastern United States. See https://doi.org/10.5066/P9CP2NUD for more information.
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.
The dataset provided here and described in this metadata document contains predicted wetness probability (PWP) values for vernal pools under a variety of weather and climate conditions at several seasonal time points, generated using inundation models as described in the processing steps section of this metadata document and in the annotated R script included in this data release ("annotated_R_script_for_pool_inundation_modeling.R"). PWP values represent the predicted likelihood of a pool holding water according to a specified inundation threshold, as defined in this metadata document. PWP values can theoretically range from 0 (pool is predicted to have no chance of inundation) to 1 (pool is predicted to have 100...
