A Google Earth Engine Application for Exploring Potential Changes in Design Peak-flow of US Urban Areas Driven by Land Cover Change
November 9, 2022
A Google Earth Engine (GEE) application was developed to explore the spatial distribution map of potential percent change (2020 compared to 1985) of design peak-flow, an average percent change (average of pixels within the selected urban area) as text, and three time-series (1985-2020) charts of design peak-flow for three precipitation frequencies (with three recurrence interval and precipitation duration) of urban areas across the United States. Additionally, the LCMAP land cover maps for the years 1985 and 2020 can be visualized for the selected urban area. The GEE application is accessible at https://kkgcp.users.earthengine.app/view/peakflowexplorer.
