HydroSHEDS is a mapping product that provides hydrographic information for regional and global-scale applications in a consistent format. It offers a suite of geo-referenced datasets (vector and raster) at various scales, including river networks, watershed boundaries, drainage directions, and flow accumulations. HydroSHEDS is based on elevation data obtained in 2000 by NASA's Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM).
This hydrologically conditioned elevation dataset is the result of an iterative conditioning and correction process. Note that the conditioning process alters the original DEM and may render it incorrect for applications other than deriving drainage directions. Endorheic basins (inland sinks) are 'seeded' with a no-data cell at their lowest point in order to terminate the flow. Full details of the underlying digital elevation model are available in the HydroSHEDS website and documentation.
This dataset is at 15 arc-second resolution. The datasets available at 15 arc-seconds are the Hydrologically Conditioned DEM, Drainage (Flow) Direction, and Flow Accumulation.
Note that the quality of the HydroSHEDS data is significantly lower for regions above 60 degrees northern latitude as there is no underlying SRTM elevation data available and thus a coarser-resolution DEM was (HYDRO1k provided by USGS).
HydroSHEDS was developed by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) Conservation Science Program in partnership with the U.S. Geological Survey, the International Centre for Tropical Agriculture, The Nature Conservancy, and the Center for Environmental Systems Research of the University of Kassel, Germany.
HydroSHEDS是一个制图产品,以一致的格式为区域和全球范围的应用提供水文信息。它提供了一套不同尺度的地理参考数据集(矢量和栅格),包括河流网络、流域边界、排水方向和流量积累。HydroSHEDS是基于2000年NASA的航天飞机雷达地形任务(SRTM)获得的高程数据。
这个水文条件下的高程数据集是一个反复调节和校正过程的结果。请注意,调节过程改变了原始DEM,可能会使其在推导排水方向以外的应用中变得不正确。内流盆地(内陆汇)在其最低点用无数据单元进行 "播种",以终止流动。基础数字高程模型的全部细节可在HydroSHEDS网站和文件中找到。
该数据集的分辨率为15弧秒。15角秒的数据集是水文条件下的DEM、排水(流)方向和流量累积。
请注意,在北纬60度以上的地区,HydroSHEDS数据的质量要低得多,因为没有底层的SRTM高程数据可用,因此要用更粗的分辨率DEM(美国地质调查局提供的HYDRO1k)。
HydroSHEDS是由世界自然基金会(WWF)保护科学项目与美国地质调查局、国际热带农业中心、大自然保护协会和德国卡塞尔大学环境系统研究中心合作开发
