Average thermal conditions on the floodplain to find suitable/unsuitable for alligator gar spawning - Louisiana [U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service]

Description:

Thermal Analysis - reclassification to suitable/unsuitable for alligator gar spawning - LouisianaUses inundation extent and the Landsat thermal band to find inundated floodplain areas that may provide preferred habitat for alligator gar spawning.Usedin conjunction with other layers to evaluate the accuracy of a statewide (Louisiana) assessment of habitat suitable for alligator gar spawning using the techniques described in Allen et. al 2020. Allen, Y., K. Kimmel, and G. Constant. 2020. Using Remote Sensing to Assess Alligator Gar Spawning Habitat Suitability in the Lower Mississippi River.
