Description:
Soil thickness dataset based on USDA SSURGO county-level soil surveys. Raster dataset at 270 meter resolution.

Processing & Workflow:
The soil thickness dataset was used in the Basin Characterization Model (BCM) to provide improved estimates of soil storage. To model the effects of urbanization and climate on future streamflow and recharge capacity, soil thickness was minimized in future modeled urban areas before running the BCM.
Backup & Storage:
Stored on external hard drives at USGS Sacramento and Menlo Park locations
Repository for Data:
California Climate Commons
