The StreamCat Dataset: Accumulated Attributes for NHDPlusV2 (Version 2.1) Catchments for the Conterminous United States: Predicted Channel Widths and Depths
This dataset represents predicted channel widths and depths from Doyle et al. 2023. Values include: Predicted wetted width: distance of the water\\u2019s edge from left to right bank, Predicted thalweg depth: deepest point in the channel cross section from the bottom substrate to the water surface, Predicted bankfull width: distance from left to right bank at bankfull stage where the potential water height would spill outside of the channel and into the floodplain, and Predicted bankfull depth: thalweg depth plus bankfull height, which is the height from the water surface to the bankfull stage.

"description": "StreamCat currently contains over 600 metrics that include local catchment (Cat), watershed (Ws), and special metrics. The special metrics were derived through modeling or by combining other StreamCat metrics. These variables include predicted water temperature, predicted biological condition, and the indexes of catchment and watershed integrity. See Geospatial Framework and Terms below for definitions of catchment and watershed as used with the StreamCat Dataset.
These metrics are available for ~2.65 million stream segments and their associated catchments across the conterminous US. StreamCat metrics represent both natural (e.g., soils and geology) and anthropogenic (e.g, urban areas and agriculture) landscape information.",
