Data release of the influence of data characteristics on detecting wetland/stream surface-water connections in the Delmarva Peninsula, Maryland and Delaware

The datasets were generated for the Upper Choptank River Watershed in Maryland and Delaware. Depressions and the total stream network were derived from a lidar DEM collected during April–June 2003 (vertical accuracy root mean square error (RMSE) = 14.3 cm) and March–April 2006 (vertical accuracy RMSE = 18.5 cm) for Maryland (1 m resolution) and April 2007 (vertical accuracy RMSE = 18.5 cm) for Delaware (3 m resolution)). Three Landsat images were used to create a surface-water extent map from Landsat including Landsat-8 images collected on April 4, 2015 (p14r33) and April 11, 2015 (p15r33) and a Landsat-7 ETM+ image collected on April 12, 2015 (p14r33). The datasets were used with other previously published datasets...
