NPScape CCAP Landcover Metrics Processing SOP. This SOP provides guidance on how to process the following metrics for NPScape’s NOAA Coastal Change Analysis Program (CCAP) Landcover Measure: Landcover Area per Category (LAC) and Landcover Change (LCC).The purpose of this SOP is threefold. First, because these directions were followed for the processing of the NPS dataset, it provides detailed documentation on the methodology the NPS Landscape Dynamics Project (NPScape) used to calculate these metrics. Second, this SOP provides any user with the ability to replicate the creation of these data. Finally, if a Park or Network has a need to process landcover metrics, this SOP provides a template for how spatial landcover data can be processed to generate these metrics.
