GDP web

area-weighted aggregation

subset

GDP web is a web user interface that accesses the Geo Data Portal web services to provide subset and area-weighted statistics of numerous gridded climate and land use datasets. Data subsets can be selected by time and/or user-provided polygons.web GUI

gdptools

area-weighted aggregation

gridded to vector data

subset

This Python package can be used to aggregate gridded or polygon dataset to a target polygon dataset. The input gridded dataset can be any dataset that is readable by Xarray, and thus can handle multi-dimensional datasets, while the input target polygon dataset can be any vector dataset that is readable by Geopandas. An example of this is aggregating a CONUS404 gridded dataset spanning multiple timesteps to a polygon dataset representing the HUC8 basins covering an entire state. The outputs are a GeoDataframe of the polygon dataset and an Xarray DataSet containing the aggregations values for each polygon and timestep.Python

geoconnex.us

hydrographic addressing

Geoconnex.us is a feature registry providing persistent URI redirects for spatial features that are meaningful to environmental science. Any data provider can register dataset-specific or community reference identifiers with geoconnex.us. Data linked to the NHGF reference fabric are linked through geoconnex.us identifiers.NA

geoknife

area-weighted aggregation

subset

geoknife is an R package that accesses the Geo Data Portal web services to provide subsets and area-weighted statistics of gridded climate and land use datasets. Data subsets can be selected by time and/or user-provided polygons.R

Geoserver

data access

Geoserver provides high-performance and scalable Web Feature Services (WFS) for: 1) NHDPlusV2 flowlines, catchments, and water bodies, 2) HUC08 and HUC12 catchments, and 3) GAGES II gage locations and basins.web GUI

grd2shp_xagg

area-weighted aggregation

subset

This Python package can be used to aggregate gridded datasets to polygons by wrapping the xagg Python package. The package can also facilitate mapping, renaming, and generating netCDF files for multiple variables.
grd2shp_xagg can be used on any dataset that can be loaded into the xarray Python library.
Python

GSPy

data standard implementation

GSPy is a Python tool that implements a newly proposed geophysical data standard, called the GS convention, based on the NetCDF file format. The current implementation provides basic workflows to convert datasets from both tabular ASCII text and GeoTIFF raster input files into standardized NetCDF files.Python

Hyswap – the HYdrologic Surface Water Analysis Package. This python package provides a set of functions for calculating statistics and generating summary plots on a surface water data set.Python

nhdplusTools

hydrographic addressing

network navigation

subset

This R package provides functionality to work with NHDPlus flowline, flowpath, and catchment features. The subsetting functionality allows you to query for features of interest or find related features using network navigation up- or downstream. The hydrographic addressing functionality allows you to link points, lines, or polygons to the features in the NHDPlus dataset.R

NLDI API

hydrographic addressing

network navigation

The NLDI API offers a search service to discover information that has been hydrographically addressed to NHDPlus V2 catchments through the NLDI. Data hydrographically addressed to the NLDI includes active NWIS stream gages, water quality portal sites, and outlets of HUC12 watersheds. The NLDI API also offers a network navigation functionality for hydrographically addressed data so users can discover features up- or downstream of a feature of interest.API
