Summary

These data were released prior to the October 1, 2016 effective date for the USGS’s policy dictating the review, approval, and release of scientific data as referenced in USGS Survey Manual Chapter 502.8 Fundamental Science Practices: Review and Approval of Scientific Data for Release. A generalized streamflow-variability index coverage was created by interpolating a grid (with 6,066-ft^2 cells) from at-site values of the streamflow-variability index computed for 133 rural, unregulated streamflow-gaging stations in Ohio and nearby areas of adjacent states. Grid interpolation was done by means of the interpolate surface routine contained in the Spatial Analyst extension of ArcView. The inverse distance weighting (IDW) algorithm was [...]

Purpose

This coverage was used to determine an estimate of the streamflow variability index at a given location on streams in Ohio. This information is required to use regression equations presented by Koltun and Whitehead (2002). Koltun, G.F., and Whitehead, M.T., 2002, Techniques for Estimating Selected Streamflow Characteristics of Rural, Unregulated Streams in Ohio: U.S. Geological Survey Water-Resources Investigations Report 02-4068 Notes: Any use of trade, product, or firm names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government. Although this Federal Geographic Data Committee-compliant metadata file is intended to document the data set in nonproprietary form, as well as in ArcInfo format, this metadata file may include some ArcInfo-specific terminology.
