Glacier Bay oceanography 2022 data quality evaluations (OC_M)

At the end of each survey year, a review is done to determine if post-season calibration data (OC_G) indicate that sensor drift over the cruise year is significant. The original log sheet images (OC_H) are also reviewed for annotations regarding data exceptions. The raw and processed vertical profile data plots are reviewed both separately and jointly for irregular instrument readings.

The Project Leader flags questionable and unusable casts for the year using the data quality report spreadsheets. Inoperable individual sensors encountered during a cast are also noted on the sheets. The Data Manager, after validating the spreadsheet forms, publishes the forms to the Data Store and then updates appropriate columns in the cumulative database (OC_D) to reflect quality levels of all observations.

Great Basin National Park Streams and Lakes Data Package 2009-2023

This data package comprises discrete data collected for the Mojave Desert Network Inventory and Monitoring Program Streams and Lakes protocol. This protocol is designed to monitor the hydrologic and ecosystem health of nine streams and six subalpine lakes in Great Basin National Park and to identify and assess the effects of stressors such as climate change, groundwater withdrawal, and atmospheric nutrient deposition. Collected data include lake surface elevations, water quality measurements, stream channel characteristics, water chemistry samples, and benthic macroinvertebrate samples. Lake surface elevations, water quality measurements, and stream channel characteristics data covers 2009 to 2023. Water chemistry sample data covers 2009 to 2022. Benthic macroinvertebrate sample data are published in a separate data package.

Landbird Monitoring for the Northern Colorado Plateau Network, 2005-2023 - Data Package

The landbird monitoring protocol established by the Northern Colorado Plateau Network (NCPN) keeps track of landbird populations in its park units to monitor ecosystem/habitat integrity, population declines of certain species of landbirds, and to contribute to regional bird monitoring efforts. Both a point-count and a transect count are done throughout the course of a survey. Observers stop at a designated point-count station for five minutes to record any birds seen within that interval. After the five minute interval, observers walk along the transect to the next point-count station, recording any birds they encounter along the way. The observed bird's species, the approximate distance and heading from the observer to the bird, and environmental conditions during the survey are recorded. This package contains datasets from surveys conducted in 11 park units within the NCPN from 2005-2023, and a separate dataset for monitoring at Pipe Spring National Monument (PISP) from 2009-2019.

Pilot Landbird Monitoring at Grand Teton National Park, 2005-2008 - Data Package

Landbird monitoring is a widely used monitoring type that can help land managers determine the habitat quality within the survey area. The Greater Yellowstone Network (GRYN) used landbird monitoring to determine the quality of select habitats within Grand Teton National Park (GRTE): High elevation/Alpine, aspen, riparian floodplain, riparian willow, and sage shrub steppe/sagebrush. Both point count and transect methods were employed to record the landbirds encountered along randomly-selected 2.1 km-long transects and 15 points within these habitats. In addition to habitat quality, the data found in these surveys can be used to determine the distribution and density of target landbird species, community dynamics, and habitat (vegetation) structure. The surveys that produced these data were performed in the months following the end of spring migration yearly, from 2005 to 2008.

Aquatic Invertebrate Monitoring Data for Buffalo National River, Ozark National Scenic Riverways and Multiple Small Stream Park Units throughout the Midwest, 2005-2024 - Data Package

This monitoring dataset consists of aquatic invertebrate community data for Buffalo National River, Ozark National Scenic Riverways and multiple small stream park units throughout the Midwest. The dataset includes invertebrate counts, site conditions, water quality and habitat measures, and stream discharge data for aquatic invertebrate communities in Heartland Inventory and Monitoring Network Parks.  The dataset includes approximately 70,000 individual observations covering approximately 330 taxa of aquatic invertebrates observed at 11 NPS park units taken between 2005 and 2024. The overall goals of Heartland Inventory and Monitoring Network aquatic invertebrate community program are to monitor temporal changes in aquatic invertebrate communities and relations between the invertebrate communities and environmental factors. This monitoring information can be used by park managers to evaluate the effects of past and future activities and management decisions (either by park managers or others) on aquatic invertebrate communities. The specific objectives for aquatic invertebrate community monitoring are to assess the natural and anthropogenic processes influencing invertebrate communities, and to incorporate the spatial relationship of benthic invertebrates with their local habitat, including discharge rates, substrate size and embeddedness and water quality parameters (temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, specific conductance, and turbidity).

Klamath Network Landbird Banding Data Package 2008-2024

This dataset contains monitoring data for land bird banding at park units within the Klamath Inventory and Monitoring Network (KLMN). Landbirds were selected as a focus group for bird monitoring in the KLMN because they provide cost-effective information about ecological conditions of interest and they are well represented in the major terrestrial habitats in the parks. This dataset will provide park managers with data and information that can be utilized to help better address landbird status and trends. Starting in 2008, two types of monitoring data have been collected 1) point counts, and 2) banding. Point counts occur in all KLMN parks with 2 parks sampled per year. Banding is done at ORCA and occurs every year. Data are also collected on habitat. Klamath Inventory and Monitoring Networks landbird protocol contributes to regional and continental bird monitoring and is integrated with an extensive regional bird monitoring network. This effort has yielded a substantial regional dataset with information about landbird distribution, population trends, and population demographics.
