Attributes for NHDPlus Version 2.1 Reach Catchments and Modified Routed Upstream Watersheds for the Conterminous United States: Mean-Annual Evapotranspiration, Gabriel Senay (2013)

This tabular data set represents mean-annual evapotranspiration, estimated by Senay and others (2013) and compiled for two spatial components of the NHDPlus version 2 data suite (NHDPlusv2) for the conterminous United States; 1) individual reach catchments and 2) reach catchments accumulated upstream through the river network. This dataset can be linked to the NHDPlus version 2 data suite by the unique identifier COMID.  The source data for mean-annual evapotranspiration was produced by Gabriel Savoca and others, (USGS, 2013) using remote sensing and weather data sets. Units are millimeters per year. Reach catchment information characterizes data at the local scale. Reach catchments accumulated upstream through the river network characterizes cumulative upstream conditions.  Network-accumulated values are computed using two methods, 1) divergence-routed and 2) total cumulative drainage area. Both approaches use a modified routing database to navigate the NHDPlus reach network to aggregate (accumulate) the metrics derived from the reach catchment scale. (Schwarz and Wieczorek, 2016).

Shorelines Extracted from 1984-2015 Landsat Imagery: Dauphin Island, Alabama (Polygon:  Individual Dates)

Shorelines Extracted from 1984-2015 Landsat Imagery:  Dauphin Island, Alabama (Polygon: Individual Dates) is a dataset consisting of 223 polygon shapefiles representing shorelines generated from satellite imagery that was collected from 1984 to 2015.  The sample frequency of satellite imagery is much higher, and the coverage much greater, than most routine high-resolution topographic surveys.  Certain aspects of barrier island morphology, such as island size, shape and position, can be determined from these images and can indicate erosion, land loss, and island breakup.  Studying how these characteristics evolve will help develop an understanding of how barrier islands will respond to climate change, sea level rise, and major storms in the future and that will serve to improve management of our coastal resources.

Digital data sets that describe aquifer characteristics of the Central Oklahoma aquifer in central Oklahoma

This data set consists of digitized water-level elevation
contours for the Central Oklahoma aquifer in central
Oklahoma. This area encompasses all or part of Cleveland,
Lincoln, Logan, Oklahoma, Payne, and Pottawatomie
Counties. The Central Oklahoma aquifer includes the alluvial
and terrace deposits along major streams, the Garber
Sandstone and Wellington Formations, and the Chase, Council
Grove, and Admire Groups. The Quaternary-age alluvial and
terrace deposits consist of unconsolidated clay, silt, sand,
and gravel. The Permian-age Garber Sandstone and Wellington
Formations consist of sandstone with interbedded siltstone
and mudstone. The Permian-age Chase, Council Grove, and
Admire Groups consist of sandstone, shale, and thin
limestone.
The Central Oklahoma aquifer underlies about 3,000 square
miles of central Oklahoma where the aquifer is used
extensively for municipal, industrial, commercial, and
domestic water supplies. Most of the usable ground water
within the aquifer is from the Garber Sandstone and Wellington
Formations. Substantial quantities of usable ground water
also are present in the Chase, Council Grove, and Admire
Groups, and in alluvial and terrace deposits associated with
the major streams.
The water-level elevation map was created from digital data
sets developed to produce a map for a previously published
report. Water-levels measured in wells during the winter of
1986 and 1987 were used to construct the map. The digital
data set contains water-level elevations that range from 850
to 1,350 feet above sea level or the National Geodetic
Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD29).

Land-Cover Data Derived from Landsat Satellite Imagery, Assateague Island to Metompkin Island, Maryland and Virginia, 1984 to 2014

The U.S. Geological Survey has a long history of responding to and documenting the impacts of storms along the Nation’s coasts and incorporating these data into storm impact and coastal change vulnerability assessments. These studies, however, have traditionally focused on sandy shorelines and sandy barrier-island systems, without consideration of impacts to coastal wetlands. The goal of the Barrier Island and Estuarine Wetland Physical Change Assessment project is to integrate a wetland-change assessment with existing coastal-change assessments for the adjacent sandy dunes and beaches, initially focusing on Assateague Island along the Maryland and Virginia coastline. Assateague Island was impacted by waves and storm surge associated with the passage of Hurricane Sandy in October 2012, including erosion and overwash along the ocean-facing sandy shoreline as well as erosion and overwash deposition in the back-barrier and estuarine bay environments.
This report serves as an archive of data that were derived from Landsat 5 and Landsat 8 imagery from 1984 to 2014, including wetland and terrestrial habitat extents; open-ocean, back-barrier, and estuarine mainland shoreline positions; and sand-line positions along the estuarine mainland and barrier shorelines from Assateague Island, Maryland to Metompkin Island, Virginia. The geographic information system data files with accompanying formal Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) metadata can be downloaded from http://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/0968/ds968_data.html.

Alluvial basin boundary data associated with the hydrogeologic, geologic, hydraulic properties, and water-level data for the groundwater component of the upper Rio Grande focus area study, Colorado, New Mexico, and Texas, United States and Chihuahua, Mexico 2017

A complete set of alluvial basin boundaries in the upper Rio Grande Basin were compiled in a digital format for the groundwater component of a Focus Area Study (FAS). A literature and data search revealed that not all of the alluvial basin boundaries existed in a digital format that could be imported and used in a Geographic Information System (GIS). Available resources such as georeferenced report figures, digital elevation models (DEMs), principal aquifer datasets, surficial geology datasets, and structural features, such as faults, were used to aid in defining the alluvial basin boundaries. An Esri ArcGIS geodatabase was created to house the final digitized dataset of the following alluvial basins: San Luis, Española, Middle Rio Grande, Socorro, La Jencia, San Marcial, Engle, Palomas, Mesilla/Conejos-Medanos, Jornada del Muerto, San Agustin, Alamosa Creek, and Tularosa-Hueco.

Slope Values Across Marsh-Forest Boundary in Chesapeake Bay Region, USA

The marsh-forest boundary in the Chesapeake Bay was determined by geoprocessing high-resolution (1 square meter) land use and land cover data sets. Perpendicular transects were cast at standard intervals (30 meters) along the boundary within a GIS by repurposing the Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) Version 5.0, an ArcGIS extension developed by the U.S. Geological Survey. Average and maximum slope values were assigned to each transect from surface elevation data. The same values were also provided as points at the center of the transect where it crossed over the boundary. The slope values across the marsh-forest transition zone and at the boundary itself provide comprehensive data layers for local, state, and Federal managers to improve understanding of salt marsh migration. This additionally aids the U.S. Geological Survey in its effort to assess the coastal vulnerability and response of salt marsh ecosystems, including the Chesapeake Bay region.

Bathymetry and Velocity Data from Surveys at Highway Bridges Crossing the Missouri River between Kansas City and St. Louis, Missouri, May 19–26, 2021 (ver. 2.0, August 2023)

These data are high-resolution bathymetry (riverbed elevation) and depth-averaged velocities in comma-delimited table format, generated from hydrographic and velocimetric surveys near highway bridge structures over the Missouri River between Kansas City and St. Louis, Missouri, May 19–26, 2021. Hydrographic data were collected using a high-resolution multibeam echosounder mapping system (MBMS), which consists of a multibeam echosounder (MBES) and an inertial navigation system (INS) mounted on a marine survey vessel. Data were collected as the vessel traversed the river along planned survey lines distributed throughout the reach. Data collection software integrated and stored the depth data from the MBES and the horizontal and vertical position and attitude data of the vessel from the INS in real time. Data processing required specialized computer software to extract bathymetry data from the raw data files and to summarize and map the information.
Velocity data for the surveys were collected using an acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) mounted on a survey vessel equipped with a differential global positioning system (DGPS). Velocity data were collected for all sites except site 14 at Lexington due to a faulty ADCP unit. Data were collected as the vessel traversed the river along seven planned transect lines distributed throughout the reach. Velocity data were processed using the Velocity Mapping Toolbox (Parsons and others, 2013), and smoothed using neighboring nodes.
There is a zip file for the 8 surveyed sites available for download containing the bathymetric data and depth-averaged velocities. The files follow the format of "site-##_MissouriRiver_HWY#_2021-05.zip", where "site-##" is the site number from 14 to 21 and "HWY#" is the highway type and route number. The zip files each contain two comma-delimited text files, one with the bathymetry and uncertainty data and one with the depth-averaged velocity data, as well as associated metadata and thumbnail images.

GWM-2005, MODFLOW-2005, MODFLOW-NWT, and SEAWAT-2000 groundwater flow models of the Bedrock Aquifers at the Kettle Moraine Springs State Fish Hatchery, Sheboygan County, Wisconsin

Three groundwater flow models (KMS model, Pumping Test model, and Modified LMB model) were 
developed for the Kettle Moraine Springs State Fish Hatchery using the U.S. Geological Survey 
codes MODLOW-NWT, GWM-2005, MODFLOW-2005, and SEAWAT-2000. The KMS inset model 
was derived from a published USGS regional Lake Michigan Basin model, and was constructed to 
simulate groundwater pumping from the semi-confined Silurian bedrock aquifer. The LMB modified 
model is a version of the published Lake Michigan Basin model that was modified with aquifer 
parameters refined in an area around the hatchery. The Pumping Test model, was constructed 
to evaluate a pumping test conducted in the Cambrian-Ordovician aquifer system and to simulate 
groundwater pumping from this deep bedrock aquifer at the hatchery.

Controlled source audio-frequency magnetotellurics (CSAMT) data from the Grand Canyon West and Plain Tank Flat areas of the western Hualapai Reservation, Arizona

Controlled source audio-frequency magnetotellurics (CSAMT) data were collected in the Grand Canyon West and Plain Tank Flat areas of the western Hualapai Reservation, Arizona, to better understand the hydrogeology of the area. CSAMT data provide vertical cross-section (profile) data about the resistivity of the subsurface, which may be related to lithologic boundaries and (or) grain-size distribution in the subsurface. CSAMT involves transmitting a current of electricity at various frequencies in one location, and measuring the magnetic response and electrical current between electrodes spaced along a receiver line several kilometers from the transmitter. Data were collected using a GGT-30 transmitter and GDP32-II receiver (Zonge international. Inc.). Data processing and inversions were carried out using Zonge International, Inc. software. As a processing step, measured resistivity values must be "inverted", or converted to 2-d vertical resitivity profiles. The inversion step involves identifying a subsurface resistivity model that best matches the data, while accounting for the measurement precision of the data. 
The primary data format is a .kmz file that can be viewed in Google Earth or other geospatial browsers. The .kmz file can be unzipped to view the source images. Subsurface resistivity cross-sections are shown at their respective geographic locations, elevated above the land surface. The vertical scale for each cross-section is approximately identical. The .kmz file can be downloaded from this page. 
In addition, raw data, station location data, and inversion data are provided. These files are useful for reprocessing the inversions and testing alternative inversion schemes. They can be downloaded from the child pages linked below. 
Raw Data: Text files output by the data-collection instrument (GDP32-II, Zonge International, Inc.); averaged values are used in the inversion. These data may be useful for testing alternative inversion schemes. 
Station Data: Text files with the receiver locations for each line. data were collected using a handheld GPS. 
Inversion Data: Text files of inverted resistivity values, starting model values, and corresponding x, y, z coordinates These files allow the user to recreate the inversions provded in the accompanying kmz file.
