Biotic exceeds '50% exceedance' boundary #4

Open jrombouts1 opened 7 years ago

jrombouts1 commented 7 years ago

Here is an area where the Biotic setting extends beyond the defined '50 % exceedance' boundary. When the working group discussed this type of problem earlier, we decided to revisit the issue later. It isn't an error really, but confusing. If the Biotic setting is left 'as is', you may get some reporting of issues like this.

Thanks - is there supposed to be an image attached to this issue?

For the benefit of anyone who sees this in the future, the issue is that in Phase I, we retained all NWI polygons that were marked as tidal, even if they went outside of the exceedance area. This effectively highlights one type of case where we think NWI is wrong, and could be improved.

The topic is still open / unresolved for Phase II data product.

PS - Looks like labels are working for you now @jrombouts1 , which is great!

Found a few polygons in Yaquina Bay where Biotic Layer is outside of Project Boundary. For the current draft of the Phase II Biotic Layer (Biotic_Component_DRAFT_20180328), this appears to be the only area in the entire layer that is outside of the Project Boundary

This Yaquina example is actually a different issue than what Jane reported. It actually relates to the shape of the estuary being changed by the addition of the NOAA ship docks, and was discussed at the TAC meeting.

Not sure if we should start a new Github issue about this or not (the data is not wrong, it's just that the estuary has not been resurveyed with Lidar since the change was made. Probably fine to leave it here so that future users know what is going on.

Allison's issue is a separate ticket here: https://github.com/orcoastalmgmt/cmecs/issues/29

Jane's original issue is something Laura Brophy would like us to resolve by altering the 50% exceedance level to match the NWI.

I'm not necessarily in agreement with Laura on this one, but I could be persuaded. I feel that it needs further discussion, so this issue will stay open until we can have that discussion.
