This dataset is the 20ft Digital Elevation Model (DEM) for all of Buncombe County, NC. The DEMs were developed from Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) data acquired January though February through April 2003, with partial re-flights for gap data in December 2003. Cell values in the DEMs were derived from a Triangulated Irregular Network (TIN) produced from the bare earth mass points and breaklines. The dataset was provided to the Buncombe County by the NC Floodplain Mapping Project as pre-release data in July and Sept 2006 .Specific information about individual data tiles can be obtained at www.ncfloodmaps.com

From the site: “The Geologic Atlas of the United States is a set of 227 folios published by the U.S. Geological Survey between 1894 and 1945. Each folio includes both topographic and geologic maps for each quad represented in that folio, as well as description of the basic and economic geology of the area. The Geologic Atlas collection is maintained by the Map & GIS Library. The repository interface with integrated Yahoo! Maps was developed by the Digital Initiatives -- Research & Technology group within the TAMU Libraries using the Manakin interface framework on top of the DSpace digital repository software. Additional files of each map are available for download for use in GIS or Google Earth. A tutorial is provided which describes how to download theses files.”

Annual average temperature and precipitation accumulation departures from climatology are plotted, using visualizations inspired by Ed Hawkins' Warming Stripes page. A temperature chart depicts years that are warmer (reds) and cooler (blue) than normal. In a similar fashion, precipitation graphs show wetter (greens) and drier (browns) conditions for a given year. Data is from 1895-present, using a climatology of 1901-2000. Alaska and Hawaii are not available.Description of DataData originates from NOAA NCEI's climate at a glance page, which uses a 5 kilometer gridded data set, known as nClimgrid. This data set provides temperature and precipitation information for each month back to 1895. Annual estimates since 1895 are derived from the monthly data and aggregated onto each county for the Contiguous United States (Alaska and Hawaii are not available at this time). To depict the long term change in temperature and precipitation, annual data are then compared to a 20th century average (1901-2000). (Note that this is different from Ed Hawkins' original project, which uses a 1971-2000 baseline. These differences in baseline mean that the graphics may not perfectly match: the general warming trends will be consistent). These differences from the century average (known as a departure from normal, or anomaly) are then used to produce the visual. For more information on anomalies, please refer to this FAQ page.This map is a copy of Jared Rennie's original map, published at https://arcg.is/19i1r90Data is from NOAA NCEI's climate at a glance page.
