OSB 111 The Door your student card opens it don’t open for others don’t leave it open 20 seconds Machines at least two students per machine trade off on keyboard Logon: spit users/spit/yourname
4
Reading from ArcDoc Spatial modeling –Cell-based Modeling with GRID Grid features and capabilities Basic concepts of grid-cell processing Getting started with GRID Getting data into GRID
5
from Tuesday : Make a spreadsheet that will estimate the peak flow Q 5 =.157*A.9 *P a 1.35 *F -.21 for a five year storm in Region XII, using a table of road crossings with their respective contributing area A, percent forest cover F, and annual rainfall P a. - What does your spreadsheet look like? - How does changing F impact Q 5 ?

OUTLINE OSB 111 Spatial Data –Data Types –Attribute Tables –Gridding the World ArcView –opening data –viewing data –gridding data
8
SPATIAL DATA points, arcs, polygons
9
SPATIAL DATA Points
10
SPATIAL DATA Points Arcs Polygons
11
SPATIAL DATA Points Arcs Polygons Attribute Tables
12
HYDROLOGY processes are intrinsically spatial
13
POLYGON DATA how we tend to represent data y x soils(x,y) vegetation(x,y) topography(x,y)
14
NON-SPATIAL HYDROLOGY we model using a ‘black box’ time rainfall, runoff
15
POLYGON HYDROLOGY Recognition of spatial variability might lead to summing outputs from black boxes
16
POLYGON BLOCKS representing spatial variability with polygons produces a multitude of overlapping polygons 00.61.21.82.4300.61.21.82.43 Elevation Aspect Distance from stream
17
POLYGON vs. GRID replace the myriad overlapping polygons with a grid of identical square polygons
18
GRID HYDROLOGY summing point processes P ET I R SS
19
GRID BASICS - Thinking in GRID GRID-ing the World continuous discrete

Converting to GRID Grid size –specification –matching Grid extent –display –existing grid Attributes –specifying –attaching
25
Discussion Problems: Grid the roads and stands using various grid sizes. Overlay and comment. Grid the stands, roads, and landslides to match the DEM grids. Verify they match. Overlay the road lines on the road grid. Comment. Repeat with polygons.
26
Practice problem: Grid the polygon coverage using different methods and grid sizes
