NAWQA GIS resources

Tools and techniques

Here are some resources that might be useful for the NAWQA GIS community. Thanks to all who have submitted items.

Have you figured out a way to do something that might help others? We encourage YOU to contribute your data and applications. Contact Curtis Price.

NAWQA AREA-CHARACTERIZATION TOOLBOX - OFR 2010-1268 (ArcGIS 9.3.x toolbox)
(includes ArcGIS implementations of AML toolbox, GRIDBUF, SHRINK, etc.)

SHRINK - removes edge areas from urban land-use study target area (aml)
WEEDPOINT - thins point coverages (aml)
POINTPOLY - generates convex polygon around points (aml)
STLIST - generates station list from NAWQAPT coverage (aml)
GRIDBUF - calculates percentages of grid categories in buffer around point (aml)
PRISMPROJ - reads PRISM data into ARCINFO grid and reprojects it (aml)
PROCESS NLCD - processes NLCD data from image to grid (aml)
INFODUMP - writes records from INFO file to comma-delimited ascii text file (aml)
