Annual estimates of road salt application were initially developed for the conterminous United States for the calendar years 1992 through 2015. As more data became available, years 2016 through 2019 were added to the dataset. The final dataset consists of 28 rasters in Geostationary Earth Orbit Tagged Image File Format (GeoTIFF), one for each year from 1992 through 2019. The final estimates (in pounds) were derived from several data sources, which include road density and proportion of developed land use, depth and spatial extent of long-term snowfall, and the production and distribution of salt sources by state. The extent is the conterminous United States, and the spatial resolution is one-square kilometer.

This data release contains input and output data tables from a SPAtially Referenced Regression On Watershed attributes (SPARROW) model, which estimated total nitrogen loads in streams of the Chesapeake Bay watershed under varying better management practice implementation scenarios. Further documentation about the SPARROW modeling framework can be found here: https://pubs.er.usgs.gov/publication/tm6B3. A model archive containing inputs, outputs, code, and helpful spatial data is also included as a zipped folder. This model archive can be used to recreate the output provided in this data release. The model archive includes a read me text file that documents the contents of the archive and how it can be used. SPARROW_Inputs.csv...
