Abstract

Variations in surface water extent estimates across the United States, derived from available regional- and global-scale datasets: (1) HydroLAKES polygons, (2) LAGOS polygons, (3) 90-m OSM, (4) 10-m ESA, (5) 30-m GSWO, and (6) 30-m NED. The LAGOS and NED data are currently available only for the United States.

"Surface water" in these datasets are defined as follows: HydroLAKES (lakes ≥10 ha; Messager et al., 2016), LAGOS (lakes ≥1 ha; Cheruvelil et al., 2021), OSM (large lakes and rivers; Yamazaki et al., 2019), ESA (permanent waterbodies and herbaceous wetlands; ESA, 2022), GSWO (maximum water extents; Pekel et al., 2016; JRC, 2022), NED (potential maximum depressional inundation; Rajib et al., 2020).

The surface water estimates are derived by first converting all gridded datasets into polygons, then removing the extents of the polygons belonging to rivers and streams using a global bankfull river width dataset (Lin et al., 2020) in order to consider only the non-river surface waters in the analysis. The extents of the Great Lakes are excluded to enable clearer visualization of smaller waterbodies across watersheds.

Here, OSM = OpenStreetMap, ESA = European Space Agency, GSWO = Global Surface Water Occurrence, NED = National Elevation Dataset.
