Aware
Overview
Hello. You many have noticed we have not had a release in approximately a month. Tis the season for personal time off! We will get back to our 2-week release cycle over the next month or so. This release has focused on new data layers. We hope you will find these helpful.
Municipality
Available: Map Layer and Pivvot Reporting
This is a polygon dataset representing incorporated areas. The origin of this dataset is from the CENSUS Bureau and is derived from the TIGER populated places layer that is used in the Route application. Only records having the value G4110 (flagged as an incorporated place) in the MTFCC column are included in this layer.
Wind Micro Grid
Available: Map Layer and Pivvot Reporting
This polygon layer shows the occurrence, density and severity of historical wind events. This layer was derived by intersection wind paths recorded by the North American Oceanic and Atmospheric Agency (NOAA) since 1955 with the Pivvot Micro DEM Grid. The Micro DEM grid represents 0.1 degree by 0.1 degree cells with the origin of the lower cell in a 9x9 array based on the lower corner of the 1 degree by 1 degree grids used to delineate the United States Geologic Survey (USGS) Digital Elevation Model (DEM) tiles. The layer is a representation of varying amounts of historic data and is intended to provide an indication of historic wind events. The symbolization is based on a quintiles distribution of total wind events over the entire collection period and are divided into groups as shown in the legend above. The data are updated yearly and Important attributes from this layer include:
- Historic wind speed min, max, mean, mode since data collection started (1955) (If available)
- Injury count min, max, mean, mode since data collection started (1955) (If available)
- Fatalities count min, max, mean, mode since data collection started (1955) (if available)
- Estimated damage cost min, max, mean, mode since data collection started (1955) (If available)
- Crop loss in millions of USD min, max, mean, mode since data collection started (1955) (If available)
- Total_wind_events in each grid cell since data collection started (1955) (If available)
Hail Micro Grid
Available: Map Layer and Pivvot Reporting
This polygon layer shows the occurrence, density and severity of historical hail events. This layer was derived by intersection hail paths recorded by the North American Oceanic and Atmospheric Agency (NOAA) since 1955 with the Pivvot Micro DEM Grid. The Micro DEM grid represents 0.1 degree by 0.1 degree cells with the origin of the lower cell in a 9x9 array based on the lower corner of the 1 degree by 1 degree grids used to delineate the United States Geologic Survey (USGS) Digital Elevation Model (DEM) tiles. The layer is a representation of varying amounts of historic data and is intended to provide an indication of historic hail events. The symbolization is based on a quintiles distribution of total hail events over the entire collection period and are divided into groups as shown in the legend above. The data are updated yearly and Important attributes from this layer include:
- Historic hail size diameter min, max, mean, mode since data collection started (1955) (If available)
- Injury count min, max, mean, mode since data collection started (1955) (If available)
- Fatalities count min, max, mean, mode since data collection started (1955) (if available)
- Estimated damage cost min, max, mean, mode since data collection started (1955) (If available)
- Crop loss in millions of USD min, max, mean, mode since data collection started (1955) (If available)
- Total_hail_events in each grid cell since data collection started (1955) (If available)
Tornado Micro Grid
Available: Map Layer and Pivvot Reporting
This polygon layer shows the occurrence, density and severity of historical tornado events. This layer was derived by intersection tornado paths recorded by the North American Oceanic and Atmospheric Agency (NOAA) since 1950with the Pivvot Micro DEM Grid. The Micro DEM grid represents 0.1 degree by 0.1 degree cells with the origin of the lower cell in a 9x9 array based on the lower corner of the 1 degree by 1 degree grids used to delineate the United States Geologic Survey (USGS) Digital Elevation Model (DEM) tiles. The layer is a representation of varying amounts of historic data and is intended to provide an indication of historic tornado events. The data represents 2 forms of tornado classification methods. The Fujita (F) Scale which was used to until early 2007, and the Enhanced Fujita (EF) Scale for everything after. The symbolization is based on a quintiles distribution of total tornado events over the entire collection period and are divided into groups as shown in the legend above. The data are updated yearly and Important attributes from this layer include:
- Tornado widths (yds), length (miles), magnitude min, max, mean since data collection started (1950) (If available)
- Injury count min, max, mean, mode since data collection started (1950) (If available)
- Fatalities count min, max, mean, mode since data collection started (1950) (if available)
- Estimated damage cost min, max, mean, mode since data collection started (1950) (If available)
- Crop loss in millions of USD min, max, mean, mode since data collection started (1950) (If available)
- Total tornado counts in each grid cell since data collection started (1950) (If available)
Wind Turbines
Available: Map Layer and Pivvot Reporting
This point data sets contains US Wind Turbine Database locations of large scale, above ground (and water) wind turbines installed for the purpose of adding electrical power to the existing electrical grid. Important attributes for this layer include:
- FAA Digital Obstacle ID – Federal Aviation Administration flight obstacle assigned ID
- Project capacity in MW – Project capacity in megawatts
- Project Name and data
- Turbine manufacturer, height, model, rotor diameter
Siting
New Features
- Ability to rename a Siting project
- How to: Click the "cog" icon towards the top right (next to the Create a new project icon).
- Ability to display Usable Area for multiple sites
- How to: To view the usable area for multiple sites you will select the records in the Project Sites grid > right click > chose Map Usable Area.
- To select multiple records in the grid: Click on a record > hold down the Shift or CTRL key > click additional records in the grid.
- Added Usable Area graphic and acreage to Parcel Reports
- Support for Permit Reports for uploaded sites
