North American River Width composed from Landsat imagery

Statement: NARWidth is composed of planform morphometric measurements of North American rivers at approximately mean discharge

Abstract: NARWidth is composed of planform morphometric measurements of North American rivers at approximately mean discharge. It was created using image processing algorithms on Landsat TM and ETM+ imagery. NARWidth is intended to be used in a wide variety of scientific and engineering applications including hydrologic, hydraulic, and biogeochemical models.
