LAGOS-US LOCUS Version 1.0

General Information

Data Package:
Local Identifier:	edi.630.2
Title:	LAGOS-US LOCUS Version 1.0
Alternate Identifier:	DOI PLACE HOLDER
Abstract:	This data package, LAGOS-US LOCUS v1.0, is one of the core data modules of the LAGOS-US platform that provides an extensible research-ready platform to study the 479,950 lakes and reservoirs larger than or equal to 1 ha in the conterminous US (48 states plus the District of Columbia). This data module contains information on the location, identifiers, and physical characteristics of lakes and their watersheds. The characteristics in this module include: variables that can be obtained from GIS data such as location and geometry; variables that can be derived using GIS processing such as lake watersheds and their geometry, lake glaciation history, and lake connectivity; and commonly used identifiers from GIS and other data products useful for linking with LAGOS-US. LOCUS is based on a snapshot of the high-resolution National Hydrography Dataset product available at the initiation of the project that provided the basis for locating, identifying, and characterizing the geometry of all lakes in LAGOS -US. The database design that supports the LAGOS-US research platform was created based on several important design features: lakes are the fundamental unit of consideration, all lakes in the spatial extent must be represented (above the minimum size), and most information is connected to individual lakes. The design is modular, interoperable (the modules can be used with each other), and extensible (future database modules can be developed and used in the LAGOS - US research platform by others). Users are encouraged to use the other two core data modules that are part of the LAGOS- US platform: GEO (which includes geospatial ecological context at multiple spatial and temporal scales for lakes and their watersheds) and LIMNO (in situ lake surface-waterphysical, chemical, and biological measurements through time) that are each found in their own data packages

Methods and Protocols

These methods, instrumentation and/or protocols apply to all data in this dataset:

Methods and protocols used in the collection of this data package

Description:

This section provides a conceptual summary of the methods used to define the lake population,delineate the lake watersheds, and calculate all variables in the LAGOS-US LOCUS data tables. For further technical detail or to attempt to reproduce methods described in this section, users can consult the scripts themselves, published on the EDI repository as LAGOS GIS Toolbox (for convenience, a copy is also available at https://github.com/cont-limno/LAGOS_GIS_Toolbox).

The metadata tabledata_dictionary_locus contains a column, methods_tool, that can be used to identify the script (or ArcPy tool name) used to create the variable of interest, if one is available. (Methods implemented manually with no reproducible script are assigned the value “hand” in this table.) For example, if you are interested in the variable lake_onlandborder, the methods_tool value “lagosGIS.lake_processing” indicates to look for the function named lake_processing within the lagosGIS Python module for more information.

Source datasets used with the methods can also be identified using the two metadata tables provided in the LOCUS module. The source_code of the associated source datasets are provided in data_dictionary_locus using the columns variable_source_code1 and variable_source_code2 (variables may have one or two source datasets). The short code (nhdhr, ned, tigerbound, etc.) provided here can be linked to a description and citation of the associated source dataset listed in source_table_locus by using a table join or by manually cross-referencing values.

Detailed methods for the four data tables lake_information.csv, lake_link.csv, lake_characteristics.csv, and lake_watersheds.csv are found in the LAGOS-US LOCUS documentation guide: Smith, N.J., K.E. Webster, L. Rodriguez, K.S . Cheruvelil, and P.A. Soranno. 2020.LAGOS-US LOCUS v1.0: Module of location, identifiers, and physical characteristics of lakes and their watersheds in the conterminous U.S. Environmental Data Initiative. https://doi.org/XXXXXX.
