SUMMARY OF SUITABILITY COMPONENTS

Description:

Each of the data sets defined for this suitability model were created and numerically coded to reflect relative values across the study bounds respective of each data set. Once all of the data sets were created, they were combined in a summation process to create a data set of continuous values for the entire study bounds.

This summary shows the result of how all of the data sets overlap each other geographically and a representation of the corresponding numerical summary. The numerical summary for the model is represented by correlating colors and values. Higher values (represented by green colors) resulted in areas in which several of the data sets overlapped with mid-level values, or where fewer data sets overlapped, but with high values.

The graphic below illustrates the concept of how this model was derived.
