Abstract: NLCD Urban Imperviousness is a 30 m raster geospatial dataset that is available for the conterminous United States. They are generated by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in partnership with several federal agencies. These data provide spatially explicit and reliable information on the Nation’s land cover and land cover change. NLCD imperviousness products represent urban impervious surfaces as a percentage of developed surface over every 30-meter pixel in the United States. Key words: Land cover , Land cover change, Landsat, NLCD, CONUS, Florida, Miami-Dade Open Geospatial Consortium Standards: | WMS (coming soon) | WFS (coming soon) Analytical Functions: gdsc_zonal_statistics(table=us_2021_nlcd_impervious_surfaces,lat=25.718,lng=-80.279,radius=500) ETL documentation
