floodplain metrics #243

Closed lauren-herbine closed 7 months ago

lauren-herbine commented 3 years ago

For now:

Floodplain extent will directly reflect confinement-

100% confined (constricted) = no floodplain Confined (90-99%) = occasional floodplain pockets Bedrock controlled (50-89%) = discontinuous Planform controlled (10-49%) = discontinuous OR broad floodplain/continuous Unconfined (<10%) = broad floodplain/continuous

No longer basing floodplain extent on confinement- will be using ratios derived from Tier 1 areas and ratios from VBET
