Data

Hydrologic data collection, processing, analysis, dissemination, and archiving are major parts of the MD-DE-DC Water Science Center program. Much of the data are available on a near-real-time basis by satellite telemetry.

The data collected and the techniques used by USGS scientists should conform to or reference national and international standards and protocols.

Stream Health and Habitat Assessments for Mixed Agricultural Streams in Pennsylvania and Maryland (2023) Stream Health and Habitat Assessments for Mixed Agricultural Streams in Pennsylvania and Maryland (2023)

U. S. Geological Survey (USGS) scientists completed a data collection campaign from the 3rd of April to the 23rd of June in 2023, using various methods to record geomorphic and habitat indicators throughout 30 streams in southern Pennsylvania and northern Maryland. Field methods included GNSS surveys, gravelometer-based pebble count readings, visual assessments, and riparian analyses...

Collection 2 Dynamic Surface Water Extent (DSWE) Proportions: CONUS Annual Proportions 1984-Present Collection 2 Dynamic Surface Water Extent (DSWE) Proportions: CONUS Annual Proportions 1984-Present

Dynamic Surface Water Extent (DSWE) Annual Proportions data summarize occurrence of water on the land surface. DSWE Annual Proportions data are statistical summaries of the USGS Landsat Collection 2 Level-3 DSWE data product (C2-DSWE), a raster dataset of per-pixel surface water inundation status based on the analysis of Landsat 4-9 satellite imagery. DSWE Annual Proportions data average
