Each area of interest is divided into numerous polygonal assessment units as described in the accompanying research article. Each polygon has attributes that include FID, Name, Number (used in our published map figure and tables), and shape area (in meters squared). See Credits. We apply the hydrologic landscapes (HL) concept to assess the hydrologic vulnerability of the United States (U.S.) to projected climate conditions. Our goal is to understand the potential impacts for stakeholder-defined interests across large geographic areas. The basic assumption of the HL approach is that catchments that share similar physical and climatic characteristics are expected to have similar hydrologic characteristics. We map climate vulnerability by integrating the HL approach into a retrospective analysis of historical data to assess variability in future climate projections and hydrology, which includes temperature, precipitation, potential evapotranspiration, snow accumulation, climatic moisture, surplus water, and seasonality of water surplus.
