Grid of streamflow variability index for Ohio

These data were released prior to the October 1, 2016 effective date for the USGS’s policy dictating the review, approval, and release of scientific data as referenced in USGS Survey Manual Chapter 502.8 Fundamental Science Practices: Review and Approval of Scientific Data for Release. A generalized streamflow-variability index coverage was created by interpolating a grid (with 6,066-ft^2 cells) from at-site values of the streamflow-variability index computed for 133 rural, unregulated streamflow-gaging stations in Ohio and nearby areas of adjacent states. Grid interpolation was done by means of the interpolate surface routine contained in the Spatial Analyst extension of ArcView. The inverse distance weighting (IDW) algorithm was [...]
