National Land Cover Database: Requirements, research priorities, design, and implementation strategies USGS_NLCD_Imperviousness_2004_Descriptor <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>USGS NLCD Imperviousness 2004 Descriptor. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in partnership with several federal agencies, has developed and released five National Land Cover Database (NLCD) products over the past two decades: NLCD 1992, 2001, 2006, 2011, and 2016. The 2016 release saw landcover created for additional years of 2003, 2008, and 2013. These products provide spatially explicit and reliable information on the Nation’s land cover and land cover change. To continue the legacy of NLCD and further establish a long-term monitoring capability for the Nation’s land resources, the USGS has designed a new generation of NLCD products named NLCD 2019. The NLCD 2019 design aims to provide innovative, consistent, and robust methodologies for production of a multi-temporal land cover and land cover change database from 2001 to 2019 at 2–3-year intervals. Comprehensive research was conducted and resulted in developed strategies for NLCD 2019: continued integration between impervious surface and all landcover products with impervious surface being directly mapped as developed classes in the landcover, a streamlined compositing process for assembling and preprocessing based on Landsat imagery and geospatial ancillary datasets; a multi-source integrated training data development and decision-tree based land cover classifications; a temporally, spectrally, and spatially integrated land cover change analysis strategy; a hierarchical theme-based post-classification and integration protocol for generating land cover and change products; a continuous fields biophysical parameters modeling method; and an automated scripted operational system for the NLCD 2019 production. The performance of the developed strategies and methods were tested in twenty composite referenced areas throughout the conterminous U.S. An overall accuracy assessment from the 2016 publication give a 91% overall landcover accuracy, with the developed classes also showing a 91% accuracy in overall developed. Results from this study confirm the robustness of this comprehensive and highly automated procedure for NLCD 2019 operational mapping. Questions about the NLCD 2019 land cover product can be directed to the NLCD 2019 land cover mapping team at USGS EROS, Sioux Falls, SD (605) 594-6151 or mrlc@usgs.gov.

Again, point locations were converted to pixels, sorted by year with our current change detection methods, and added to the Impervious Descriptor layer. 2019-01-01 Jon Dewitz U.S. Geological Survey, CORE SCIENCE SYSTEMS GEOGRAPHER 605-594-2715 47914 252Nd Street Sioux Falls SD 57198 US dewitz@usgs.gov Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) Oil and Natural Gas Wells USGS National Land Cover Database The nonroad impervious surface class was improved by the addition of Microsoft US Building Footprint dataset and the LCMAP impervious pixels. For low-intensity developed locations where buildings were not previously captured, the center points of the Microsoft Buildings vector polygons were converted to pixels, which were then sorted by year and added to the Impervious Descriptor Layer. 2019-01-01 Jon Dewitz U.S. Geological Survey, CORE SCIENCE SYSTEMS GEOGRAPHER 605-594-2715 47914 252Nd Street Sioux Falls SD 57198 US dewitz@usgs.gov US Building Footprint Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) USGS National Land Cover Database Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) Nighttime Lights and Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Day/Night band Nighttime Lights have been applied by many researchers as a way to study such topics as population density and economic activity. These two datasets are used in the generation of training data for the new NLCD 2019 Impervious Surface for 2011 and 2016, respectively. DMSP Nighttime Lights (for 2011) and VIIRS Day/Night band Nighttime Lights (for 2016) were superimposed on NLCD 2011 Impervious Surface data to exclude low density impervious areas outside urban and suburban centers, and ensure that only core urban areas were included in training data development. 2019-01-01 Jon Dewitz U.S. Geological Survey, CORE SCIENCE SYSTEMS GEOGRAPHER 605-594-2715 47914 252Nd Street Sioux Falls SD 57198 US dewitz@usgs.gov Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) USGS National Land Cover Database Each of the input layers were added to the Impervious Descriptor in the following order: roads, energy production, nonroad impervious. 2019-01-01 Jon Dewitz U.S. Geological Survey, CORE SCIENCE SYSTEMS GEOGRAPHER 605-594-2715 47914 252Nd Street Sioux Falls SD 57198 US dewitz@usgs.gov Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) USGS National Land Cover Database The impervious descriptor layer categorizes developed pixels according to source and type. This allows users extra flexibility for manipulating and categorizing impervious surface and gives them the ability to more accurately identify new impervious growth for each year. The impervious descriptor information is generated from roads, urban areas, and energy production sites. Roads for all years were derived from NAVSTREETS™ and hand edits for the entire United States. 2019-01-01 Jon Dewitz U.S. Geological Survey, CORE SCIENCE SYSTEMS GEOGRAPHER 605-594-2715 47914 252Nd Street Sioux Falls SD 57198 US dewitz@usgs.gov Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) NAVSTREETS™ USGS National Land Cover Database The last step is a clean-up to correct mapping errors with automated processes and some hand editing. For example, false impervious estimates in mines and barren land were removed, and developed areas with low imperviousness, such as city parks and golf courses, were added. 2019-01-01 Jon Dewitz U.S. Geological Survey, CORE SCIENCE SYSTEMS GEOGRAPHER 605-594-2715 47914 252Nd Street Sioux Falls SD 57198 US dewitz@usgs.gov Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) USGS National Land Cover Database Two training datasets, one of larger extent, one smaller to have different proportions of higher and lower relative impervious according to the extent of brighter and dimmer nighttime lighting, were assembled by imposing two separate thresholds of nighttime lights imagery onto the NLCD 2016 Impervious Surface data layer. Each of the two training datasets were used separately to build regression tree models for predicting percent impervious surface from zero to 100% using Landsat imagery from each respective year as predictive variables. 2019-01-01 Jon Dewitz U.S. Geological Survey, CORE SCIENCE SYSTEMS GEOGRAPHER 605-594-2715 47914 252Nd Street Sioux Falls SD 57198 US dewitz@usgs.gov Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) USGS National Land Cover Database The two pairs of initial impervious surface maps - 2 each for an earlier and later image (for example, 2004 was compared to 2001, 2006 to 2004, etc. up to 2019.), - were compared to remove false estimates caused by high reflectance in non-urban areas, as well as to retain impervious values unchanged from the earlier year. 2019-01-01 Jon Dewitz U.S. Geological Survey, CORE SCIENCE SYSTEMS GEOGRAPHER 605-594-2715 47914 252Nd Street Sioux Falls SD 57198 US dewitz@usgs.gov Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) USGS National Land Cover Database The same two training datasets were used with 2016 Landsat imagery to create two sets of regression tree models and two 2016 initial impervious surface maps. 2019-01-01 Jon Dewitz U.S. Geological Survey, CORE SCIENCE SYSTEMS GEOGRAPHER 605-594-2715 47914 252Nd Street Sioux Falls SD 57198 US dewitz@usgs.gov Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) Landsat TIRS Landsat OLI DEM Landsat TM Landsat ARD Landsat ETM+ Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Landsat MSS USGS National Land Cover Database In 2019 NLCD obtained wind turbine locations from the US Wind Turbine dataset. Point locations were converted to pixels, sorted by year according to our change detection methods, and added to the Impervious Descriptor layer. 2019-01-01 Jon Dewitz U.S. Geological Survey, CORE SCIENCE SYSTEMS GEOGRAPHER 605-594-2715 47914 252Nd Street Sioux Falls SD 57198 US dewitz@usgs.gov Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) US Wind Turbine Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) USGS National Land Cover Database Three data sources were used to capture energy production areas. For the 2016 NLCD energy production sites were generated by the Landfire project (a partner in the MRLC consortium). This included wind turbines and well pads. Some wells were manually digitized and added to the layer if they were not captured with spectral methods. After the energy production areas were identified, the NLCD team used shape extraction features to isolate each site into a single feature, and linked these single features to the land cover disturbance map used to create the land cover change products. This linkage enabled the individual site features to be labeled with a date of change and subsequently represented with the correct year of change in the Impervious Surface product. 2019-01-01 Jon Dewitz U.S. Geological Survey, CORE SCIENCE SYSTEMS GEOGRAPHER 605-594-2715 47914 252Nd Street Sioux Falls SD 57198 US dewitz@usgs.gov Landfire US Wind Turbine Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) Oil and Natural Gas Wells USGS National Land Cover Database Impervious pixels from LCMAP were used to fill in gaps left when roads were updated from previous versions of NLCD. 2019-01-01 Jon Dewitz U.S. Geological Survey, CORE SCIENCE SYSTEMS GEOGRAPHER 605-594-2715 47914 252Nd Street Sioux Falls SD 57198 US dewitz@usgs.gov Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) LCMAP USGS National Land Cover Database 2 104424 161190 1 SDE_VAT_136 Product showing the attributes for the impervious descriptor cover throughout CONUS National Land Cover Database Table 12 OBJECTID OBJECTID OID 4 10 0 Internal feature number.
