subject: MANIFEST of files available via anonymous ftp
cc: Keith Saxton, CP3 Project Coordinator

 

This file is meant to serve as a MANIFEST for files being transfered to Washington Dept. of
Ecology from the PM10 project at Dept. of Crops and Soil Science at WSU.

Background:  The Columbia Plateau PM10 Project (CP3) has included a Remote Sensing and
GIS component that has resulted in a variety of files containing data for description of the study
domain.  The data involved were obtained primarily from the 1990 AVHRR composite CD-ROM
and the companion data sets. Also, digitized data from soils and other mapped features were
utilized. The PCI remote sensing software package was used to develop land use maps for the
study domain. PCI was also used to convert files from PCI raster and vector formats to ARC
INFO svf and lin formats, for export.

Contact:  The export of the data is being facilitated by Joe Vaughan, e-mail jkv@lar.ce.wsu.edu,
Phone: 509/335-5553 or 509/335-2381.

FTP Access: The files can be obtained by anonymous ftp to
     lar.ce.wsu.edu
When prompted for a password, enter your email address.

The export files can be found under the directory
     pub/wadoe.
 

Contents of directory wadoe includes both files and other directories. The tree list follows. The
tree under wadoe contains directories of data categorized by state (for individual county's vector
files), or by name (p*_90 files map to date) of AVHRR image, or by type (e.g. ROADS).

WADOE---|
     |---CTY_ID
     |---CTY_OR
     |---CTY_WA
     |---p05_90
     |---p07_90
     |---p09_90

     |---p13_90
     |---p15_90
     |---p17_90
     |---p19_90
     |---ROADS
The list of files to transfer from directory wadoe follows.  These files are vector files for the entire
domain.

12/01/95  01:53p               559,407  WIO_GS.ZIP

WIO_GS files contain vectors for the combined Washington, Idaho, and Oregon General Soils maps, recoded to allow their use in the PM10 project context.
WIO_GS.ZIP file was created on a high end PC using PKZIP and PKZIPFIX utilities, with an input file of the ARC type, called WIO_GS.LIN.
shd* files are shaded images that correspond to the wio_dem elevation map image.
stlines contains rasterized state boundaries for the study region.

AVHRR imagery exists in directories called p*_90. The association of composite AVHRR images
to dates follows:
      dir            composite date range
     p05_90    04/27/90-05/10/90
     p07_90    05/25/90-06/07/90
     p09_90    06/22/90-07/05/90
     p11_90    07/20/90-08/02/90
     p13_90    08/17/90-08/30/90
     p15_90    09/14/90-09/27/90
     p17_90    10/12/90-10/25/90
     p19_90    12/07/90-12/20/90
 

In the image directories (p05_90 to p19_90) the channels have the general contents as follows.
     Ch 1 AVHRR Visible Band
     Ch 2 AVHRR Near-Infrared
     Ch 3 AVHRR Thermal 1
     Ch 4 AVHRR Thermal 2
     Ch 5 AVHRR Thermal 3
     Ch 6 AVHRR Normalized Difference Vegetative Index
     Ch 7 PM10 Project generated raw clusters produced by a spectral clustering tool, PCI's
ISOCLUS.

For example, the p05_90 directory contains files for channels 1-7:

11/09/95  04:17p               363,520  p05_ch1.svf
11/09/95  04:17p                    59   P05_CH1.WOR
11/09/95  04:28p               387,584   p05_ch2.svf
11/09/95  04:28p                    59  P05_CH2.WOR
11/09/95  04:30p               374,784  p05_ch3.svf
11/09/95  04:30p                    59  P05_CH3.WOR
11/09/95  04:31p               376,832  p05_ch4.svf
11/09/95  04:31p                    59  P05_CH4.WOR
11/09/95  04:32p               376,320  p05_ch5.svf
11/09/95  04:32p                    59  P05_CH5.WOR
11/09/95  04:34p               356,352  p05_ch6.svf
11/09/95  04:34p                    59  P05_CH6.WOR
11/09/95  04:36p               178,176  p05_ch7.svf
11/09/95  04:36p                    59  P05_CH7.WOR

Because the p15_90 image was chosen for additional analysis, there are additional channels of
interest, as well as other files, under directory p15_90:
    :       :                       :        :
11/17/95  05:06p                75,776   p15_ch8.svf
11/17/95  05:06p                    59  P15_CH8.WOR
11/17/95  05:08p                55,808  p15_ch10.svf
11/17/95  05:08p                    59  P15_CH10.WOR
11/17/95  05:10p                74,240  p15_ch11.svf
11/17/95  05:10p                    59  P15_CH11.WOR
11/02/95  05:22p                   179  landuse.txt

Channel 8 is land use estimated through aggregating the raw (spectrally clustered) categories in channel 7.
Channel 10 is the rasterized soils map, based on the vector data found in wadoe/WIO_GS.ZIP.
Channel 11 is an improved land use file, created by removing areas with scabland soil types from dry agriculture and placing them in range.
 

In the channel 8 and channel 11 land use files, the categories of land use are as follows:
          code  value
          0    "Water"
          1    "Forest"
          2    "Range"
          3    "Irrig. Crops"
          4    "Dry Crops"
These land use codes are also included, in a slightly different format, in the file called landuse.txt under p15_90.
 
The ROADS directory contains vector file data for interstates, U.S. highways, and state
highways:
