Mean-annual erosion potential for Colorado and New Mexico

The U.S. Geological Survey Data Series provides raster data representing an estimate of the mean-annual erosion potential of a 30-meter raster cell in Colorado and New Mexico. The units are tons per acres per year with the idea that a user will average values over an area of interest. The values were calculated using publicly available geospatial data representing variables of the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation.
