Data Access

This page tracks datasets powering the Abrupt vs Gradual Shifts: Rate Factors sprint. Store large files in CyVerse and link them here so collaborators know where to find source material and derived products.

Shared storage

  • CyVerse community folder: Innovation_summit/Group_3 — upload shared data products in subfolders such as shared_data/, outputs/, and deliverables/.
  • Personal workspaces: Team members can mirror key outputs under i:/iplant/home/<username>/projects/innovation_summit_2025/ for experimentation.

Core datasets

  • USGS LandTrendr spectral change products — annual disturbance trajectories and derivative metrics for vegetation transitions. Download through Google Earth Engine or USGS bulk services; document processing notebooks in code/.
  • SNODAS Snow Water Equivalent (SWE) — daily gridded snowpack data aggregated to weekly change rates. Store curated subsets in shared_data/snowpack/ within CyVerse.
  • PRISM climate anomalies — precipitation and temperature rate-of-change summaries used to contextualize abrupt vs gradual events. Archive processed rasters in shared_data/climate/.

Derived products

  • Rate trigger catalog: Table summarizing derivative thresholds for each pilot watershed. Save as CSV/Parquet under outputs/rate_triggers/.
  • Dashboard assets: Exported figures, GIFs, and embed-ready JSON for the planned alert dashboard. Publish to deliverables/dashboard/ and reference them from docs/index.md.

Documentation

For each dataset or derived product, include a short README with: 1. Source URL or DOI. 2. Processing steps or scripts used. 3. Contact person for questions.

Feel free to add more sections (e.g., QA/QC notes, data issues) as the sprint progresses.
