Type: Raster Layer
Geometry Type: null
Description: Seasonal averages of water column stratification were calculated for the period 1980-2007. Data were obtained from The Nature Conservancy and Dr. Grant Law. Data were processed and mapped by NOAA NCCOS. Briefly, three-dimensional ocean temperature and salinity were interpolated from conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) casts. CTD cast data were obtained from a combination of Hydrobase, NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service, Fisheries and Ocean Canada, and South-Atlantic Bight oceanographic databases. Stratification was calculated by subtracting seawater density at 50 meters depth from surface seawater density. The resultant values were then averaged to generate a 1980-2007 climatology. For more details about data processing, please see the NOAA NCCOS report prepared for the NY Department of State's Offshore Atlantic Ocean Study.

Description: The objective of the Risk Assessment (and resulting mapped Risk Areas) is to define areas at risk from coastal hazards. Data were collected from sources accurate enough to differentiate geographic areas according to the likelihood of flooding, erosion, waves and storm surge. To the extent allowed by source data, areas where flood water can extend up streams and under culverts and bridges are reflected in mapping. The mapping process and data sources used are described below. Mapped Risk Areas are classified into three categories: Extreme, high, and moderate.Extreme Risk Areas: These are areas currently at risk of frequent inundation, vulnerable to erosion in the next 40 years, or likely to be inundated in the future due to sea level rise. Criteria and source data used to define these Extreme Risk Areas include:FEMA V zone. Areas subject to Shallow Coastal Flooding per NOAA NWS’s advisory threshold. Areas prone to erosion, natural protective feature areas susceptible to erosion. Added 3 feet to the MHHW shoreline and extended this elevation inland over the digital elevation model (DEM) to point of intersection with ground surface. These four criteria were overlaid and polygons were generated that included the maximum spatial extend of the above-listed criteria. These polygons represent Extreme Risk Areas.High Risk Areas: These are areas that fall outside of the Extreme Risk Areas and are currently at infrequent risk of inundation or are at risk in the future from sea level rise. Criteria and source data used to define these High Risk Areas include: Area bounded by the 1% annual flood risk zone (FEMA V and A zones). Added 3 feet to NOAA NWS coastal flooding advisory threshold and extended this elevation inland over the DEM to point of intersection with ground surface.Polygons were created that were upland of the Extreme Risk Area boundary and included the maximum spatial extent of the above-listed criteria. These polygons represent High Risk Areas. Moderate Risk Areas: These are areas that fall outside of the Extreme and High Risk Areas, but are currently at moderate risk of inundation from infrequent events or are at risk in the future from sea level rise. Criteria and source data used to define these High Risk Areas include: Area bounded by the 0.2% annual risk (500 year) flood zone, where available. Added 3 feet to the Base Flood Elevation for the current 1% annual risk flood event and extended this elevation inland over the DEM to point of intersection with ground surface. Area bounded by SLOSH category 3 hurricane inundation zone. Polygons were created that were upland of the Extreme & High Risk Area boundaries and included the maximum spatial extent of the above-listed criteria. These polygons represent Moderate Risk Areas.

Description: The coastal boundary was originally created as a set of maps at a scale of 1:48000. This digital representation has been created from the original paper copies through "heads-up" digitizing using geographic information software and the digital NYSDOT planimetric quadrangles at a scale of 1:24000. The official coastal boundary is a written description contained in the federally approved New York State Coastal Management Program, LIS CMP, and applicable LWRPs. The waterward boundary extends 3 miles into open ocean, to shared state lines in Long Island Sound and the New York Bight and to the International boundary in the Great Lakes, Niagara and St. Lawrence Rivers. Generally, the inland boundary is approximately 1,000 feet from the shoreline following well-defined features such as roads, railroads or shorelines as described in the CMP FEIS, unless otherwise indicated. Where necessary this boundary extends inland to include major state owned lands and facilities and electic power generation facilities which abut on the shoreline, major coastal recreational areas, significant agricultural lands, significant coastal habitats, scenic viewsheds of State or national significance, major historic or coastal dependent industrial areas, and the 100 year flood plain. In urbanized and other developed locations along the coast, the landward boundary is approximately 500 feet from the shoreline or less than 500 feet at locations where a major roadway or railway line runs parallel to the shoreline. The seaward boundary of New York State's coastal area includes all coastal waters within its territorial jurisdiction.

Description: These data were created as part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Coastal Services Center's efforts to create an online mapping viewer depicting potential sea level rise and its associated impacts on the nation's coastal areas. The purpose of the mapping viewer is to provide coastal managers and scientists with a preliminary look at sea level rise (slr) and coastal flooding impacts. The viewer is a screening-level tool that uses nationally consistent data sets and analyses. Data and maps provided can be used at several scales to help gauge trends and prioritize actions for different scenarios. The Sea Level Rise and Coastal Flooding Impacts Viewer may be accessed at: http://www.csc.noaa.gov/slr These data depict the potential inundation extent of coastal areas resulting from National Weather Service issued Coastal Flood Advisories. The Coastal Flood Advisory areas are based on individual Weather Forecast Office (WFO) guidance thresholds at monitored tide stations and are referenced to the MLLW tidal datum. The process used to produce the data can be described as a modified bathtub approach that attempts to account for both local/regional tidal variability. The process uses either two or three source datasets depending on geographic location to derive the final inundation rasters: the Digital Elevation Model (DEM) of the area, a tidal surface model that represents spatial tidal variability, and an interpolated threshold surface if there is significant difference between flooding thresholds between varying geographic areas (Ex: Chesapeake Bay area). The tidal model is created using the NOAA National Geodetic Survey's VDATUM datum transformation software (http://vdatum.noaa.gov) in conjunction with spatial interpolation/extrapolation methods and represents the MLLW tidal datum in orthometric values (North American Vertical Datum of 1988).The interpolated threshold surface is created using the flooding threshold values found at select NOAA tide gages used by the NWS to define flooding events. The methods used to produce these data does not account for erosion, subsidence, or any future changes in an area's hydrodynamics. It is simply a method to derive data in order to visualize the potential scale and extent, not exact location, of inundation from NWS issued Coastal Flood Advisories.

Description: The Watershed Boundary Dataset (WBD) is a comprehensive aggregated collection of hydrologic unit data consistent with the national criteria for delineation and resolution. It defines the areal extent of surface water drainage to a point except in coastal or lake front areas where there could be multiple outlets as stated by the "Federal Standards and Procedures for the National Watershed Boundary Dataset (WBD)" “Standard” (http://pubs.usgs.gov/tm/11/a3/). Watershed boundaries are determined solely upon science-based hydrologic principles, not favoring any administrative boundaries or special projects, nor particular program or agency. This dataset represents the hydrologic unit boundaries to the 12-digit (6th level) for the entire United States. Some areas may also include additional subdivisions representing the 14- and 16-digit hydrologic unit (HU). At a minimum, the HUs are delineated at 1:24,000-scale in the conterminous United States, 1:25,000-scale in Hawaii, Pacific basin and the Caribbean, and 1:63,360-scale in Alaska, meeting the National Map Accuracy Standards (NMAS). Higher resolution boundaries are being developed where partners and data exist and will be incorporated back into the WBD. WBD data are delivered as a dataset of polygons and corresponding lines that define the boundary of the polygon. WBD polygon attributes include hydrologic unit codes (HUC), size (in the form of acres and square kilometers), name, downstream hydrologic unit code, type of watershed, non-contributing areas, and flow modifications. The HUC describes where the unit is in the country and the level of the unit. WBD line attributes contain the highest level of hydrologic unit for each boundary, line source information and flow modifications.

Description: Upon consideration and robust analysis of data from extensive stakeholder engagement and more than 20 studies on environmental, social, economic, regulatory, and infrastructure issues, New York State has identified the Area for Consideration as the most desirable area for future offshore wind development. The Area for Consideration presents the fewest conflicts with ocean users, natural resources, infrastructure, and wildlife, and has the greatest potential for the cost-effective development of offshore wind energy to meet the State’s goals.Four Indicative WEAs in four example configurations within the Area for Consideration, each capable of supporting at least 800 MW of future offshore wind development, are also provided. The Indicative WEAs are provided for illustrative purposes and may be shifted, reshaped, or both within the Area for Consideration. No individual indicative WEA configuration represents a “best-case” scenario or priority preference.No State or Federal agency or entity has committed to any specific course of action with respect to the development of such future wind projects. Neither this Area for Consideration, nor the studies associated with it commits any governmental entity to any specific course of action. In the event BOEM identifies a new WEA and awards a lease in the future, any offshore wind project in that new WEA will be required to meet all State and Federal permit, license and other approvals prior to proceeding with the development of the project.For more information see: https://www.nyserda.ny.gov/All-Programs/Programs/Offshore-Wind/New-York-Offshore-Wind-Master-Plan/Area-for-Consideration.

Description: A composite of the projected changes in wetland status (i.e. resilience classifications: wetland migration [new wetlands], wetland migration conflict with developed areas, wetland resilience, and to a limited degree also wetland loss) for all the high and medium SLR simulations (with low, medium, and high accretion) in year 2100. The composite projections of wetland loss are underestimated in this file because where any one model or more projected wetland resilience the location is illustrated as resilient wetland (i.e. wetland loss is only illustrated where all six simulations projected it); the full range of projected wetland loss is illustrated in the accompanying file "Wetland_loss_composite.tif".Raster values indicate the following changes in wetland status:1 = lost wetland (any type of tidal wetland in time zero projected to be estuarine water in year 2100; projected by all 6 simulations)2 = resilient wetland (any type of tidal wetland in time zero projected to be any type of tidal wetland in year 2100; projected by one simulation or more)3 = new wetland (undeveloped upland in time zero projected to be any type of tidal wetland in year 2100, projected by one simulation or more)4 = new wetland conflict with upland developed area (developed upland in time zero projected to be any type of tidal wetland in year 2100, projected by one simulation or more)
Description: A composite of the projections for inter-tidal wetland loss to permanent inundation for all the high and medium SLR scenarios (with low, medium, and high accretion). This complements the accomanying file Wetland_resilience_composite.tif, in which wetland loss is under estimated because it only includes those areas where all six simulations agree on wetland loss. In contrast, this file illustrates the full range of projected wetland losses by the six simulations (from consensus among all six to only one simulation projecting a loss).Raster values indicate the number of simulations that projected the loss of intertidal wetland to permanent inundation by year 2100.
Description: This data set is a composite of tidal wetlands, a Hudson River extent file, and National Land Cover Database data for use in the Sea Level Affecting Marshes Model (SLAMM). Raster values indicate the following wetland types and land covers:1 = developed upland2 = undeveloped upland8 = regularly flooded marsh (low marsh)11= tidal flat17 = estuarine water20 = irregularly flooded marsh (high marsh)
Description: The union of the projected wetland of all of the medium and high SLR simulations (with low, medium, and high accretion) by 2100 from the SLAMM study in 2015. Where any number of simulations projected any type of tidal wetland the value = 1, and where no tidal wetland type was projected by any simulation the value = 0.Areas identified as developed upland in the input data are excluded.This "wetland pathway" represents the full enveloped of possible tidal wetland locations by year 2100 as projected by SLAMM in the 2015 study, and may serve as a planning unit for conservation, management, restoration, and policy strategies.

Description: This dataset is a digital soil survey and generally is the most detailed level of soil geographic data developed by the National Cooperative Soil Survey. The information was prepared by digitizing maps, by compiling information onto a planimetric correct base and digitizing, or by revising digitized maps using remotely sensed and other information.This dataset consists of georeferenced digital map data and computerized attribute data. The map data are in a state-wide extent format and include a detailed, field verified inventory of soils and miscellaneous areas that normally occur in a repeatable pattern on the landscape and that can be cartographically shown at the scale mapped. The soil map units are linked to attributes in the National Soil Information System relational database, which gives the proportionate extent of the component soils and their properties.

Description: Creation Date: 06/13/12. Latest Modification Date: 08/15/12. This datalayer provides information obtained as a result of oblique imagery review for the entire coastline (excluding embayments) of the New York State portion of Lake Ontario.The shoreline was divided into reaches and this dataset represents the line features for those reaches for the U.S. shoreline of Lake Ontario, not including islands and embayments as coded by the LOSLR study in 2002. Each feature within the data layer produced by AECOM represents a reach of shoreline of differing classification. Classification reaches were not defined according to a set unit of measure. In some instances a shoreline classification may span a couple thousand feet, spanning multiple tax parcels. In other instances, multiple classifications may exist for a single tax parcel.Original shoreline boundary was taken from the CityTown.shp datafile from the NYS Civil Boundaries (database) provided by NYS Office of Cyber Security (NYSOGS) via the NYS GIS Clearinghouse website for the following counties: (Niagara, Orleans, Monroe, Wayne, Cayuga, Oswego). Original shoreline boundary was taken from the NHDFlowline.shp datafile from the National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) (database) provided by NYSDEC via the NYS GIS Clearinghouse website for the following counties: (Jefferson). The shoreline polyline was modified to most accurately represent the actual shoreline based on 2010-2012 Bing Maps aerial imagery.

Each feature within the data layer produced by AECOM represents a reach of shoreline of differing classification. Classification reaches were not defined according to a set unit of measure. In some instances a shoreline classification may span a couple thousand feet, spanning multiple tax parcels. In other instances, multiple classifications may exist for a single tax parcel.Original shoreline boundary was taken from the CityTown.shp datafile from the NYS Civil Boundaries (database) provided by NYS Office of Cyber Security (NYSOGS) via the NYS GIS Clearinghouse website for the following counties: (Niagara, Orleans, Monroe, Wayne, Cayuga, Oswego). Original shoreline boundary was taken from the NHDFlowline.shp datafile from the National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) (database) provided by NYSDEC via the NYS GIS Clearinghouse website for the following counties: (Jefferson). The shoreline polyline was modified to most accurately represent the actual shoreline based on 2010-2012 Bing Maps aerial imagery. The shapefile was split by shoreline type based on review of 2012 oblique imagery provided by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers via: http://greatlakes.usace.army.mil.Attribute Fields:Shoreline_Code (Shoreline Type): The shoreline geomorphic classification for the type of shoreline (even if structure exists)Structural_Code_Primary (Structural Type (Primary)): The type of primary structural protection (closest to the shore)Structural_Condition_Primary (Structure Condition (Primary)): The condition of the primary structural protectionStructural_Code_Secondary (Structural Type (Secondary)): The type of secondary structural protectionStructural_Condition_Secondary (Structure Condition (Secondary)): The condition of the secondary structural protectionNotes (Notes): Notes recroded during the oblique imagery reviewTown: New York town where the shoreline is locatedCounty: New York county where the shoreline is located

Description: The objective of the Risk Assessment (and resulting mapped Risk Areas) is to define areas at risk from coastal hazards. Data were collected from sources accurate enough to differentiate geographic areas according to the likelihood of flooding, erosion, waves and storm surge. To the extent allowed by source data, areas where flood water can extend up streams and under culverts and bridges are reflected in mapping. The mapping process and data sources used are described below. Mapped Risk Areas are classified into three categories: Extreme, high, and moderate.Extreme Risk Areas: These are areas currently at risk of frequent inundation, vulnerable to erosion in the next 40 years, or likely to be inundated in the future due to sea level rise. Criteria and source data used to define these Extreme Risk Areas include: FEMA V zone. Areas subject to High Tide Flooding per NOAA NWS’s advisory threshold. Added 3 feet to the MHHW shoreline and extended this elevation inland over the digital elevation model (DEM) to point of intersection with ground surface. These four criteria were overlaid and polygons were generated that included the maximum spatial extend of the above-listed criteria. These polygons represent Extreme Risk Areas. High Risk Areas: These are areas that fall outside of the Extreme Risk Areas and are currently at infrequent risk of inundation or are at risk in the future from sea level rise. Criteria and source data used to define these High Risk Areas include: Area bounded by the 1% annual flood risk zone (FEMA A zones). Added 3 feet to NOAA NWS high tide flooding advisory threshold and extended this elevation inland over the DEM to point of intersection with ground surface.Polygons were created that were upland of the Extreme Risk Area boundary and included the maximum spatial extent of the above-listed criteria. These polygons represent High Risk Areas. Moderate Risk Areas: These are areas that fall outside of the Extreme and High Risk Areas, but are currently at moderate risk of inundation from infrequent events or are at risk in the future from sea level rise. Criteria and source data used to define these High Risk Areas include: Area bounded by the 0.2% annual risk (500 year) flood zone, where available. Added 3 feet to the Base Flood Elevation for the current 1% annual risk flood event and extended this elevation inland over the DEM to point of intersection with ground surface. Area bounded by SLOSH category 3 hurricane inundation zone. Polygons were created that were upland of the Extreme & High Risk Area boundaries and included the maximum spatial extent of the above-listed criteria. These polygons represent Moderate Risk Areas.
