dsCurrentRef | Time Period of Content date indicates the date which the user can be confident of accuracy and completeness of the dataset. Morphometric indices are derived from existing Lake Bathymetry products. Lake bathymetric outlines (used for indices containing area, perimeter, length, and width) were digitized from various aerial photography datasets. Lake bathymetric DEM's (used for indices containing depth, slope, volume, and % littoral zones)are based on existing lake contour maps of variable dates. (See Quick Themes:Metadata:Lake Bathymetric Map Metadata for field work dates of individual lakes.) Observed values for Maximum Depth of Vegetation are derived from the Lake Survey database (various dates). Fetch indicates the greatest distance wind can sweep uninterrupted across a lake surface and has implications for erosion potential, wave energy, and plant habitat suitability. |

dsPurpose | This dataset was developed to assist in resource management and research applications by furthering the basic understanding of a basin's physical characteristics. Lake Basin Morphology includes the following morphometric indices: surface area, perimeter, maximum depth, average depth, relative depth, average slope, volume development index, fetch, maximum length, maximum width, percent littoral zone, volume, shoreline development index (no islands), shoreline length including islands, shoreline development index including islands, fetch bearing, maximum length bearing, maximum width bearing, littoral zone acres, observed maximum depth of littoral zone vegetation, average width. These indices are commonly used for analyses such as basin productivity, habitat suitability, wave energy dynamics, and oxygen profiles. Fetch indicates the greatest distance wind can sweep uninterrupted across a lake surface and has implications for erosion potential, wave energy, and plant habitat suitability. |
