Atmospheric-loading frequency response functions and groundwater-levels filtered for the effects of atmospheric loading and solid Earth tides for three monitoring wells near Mammoth Lakes, California, 2015 - 2017.

The data include atmospheric-loading frequency response functions (table 1) and filtered detrended and reconstructed (trends restored) groundwater-levels (tables 2 to 4) computed for selected, parsed time series for three USGS monitoring wells [28A-25-1 (373904118570701); 28A-25-2 (373904118570702); and 14A-25-1 (373927118571701)], and the associated hourly resampled depth-to-water-level and barometric-pressure time-series "pieces" (tables 2 to 4) used to create the parsed series. Digital filters were developed based on the computed water-level response to Earth tides in well 14A-25-1 and barometric pressure in all three wells, and these filters were used to compute the filtered water-level time series in tables 2  and 3 for wells 28A-25-1 and 28A-25-2, respectively, and in table 4 for 14A-25-1. The tables (1-4) and the development of the digital filters and filtering techniques are described in Appendix 2 of the associated publication (https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20191063).

Undiscovered Natural Gas Liquids Colorado Plateau

This dataset is based on U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) resource assessments for “undiscovered” natural gas liquid resources, which are resources that have not yet been extensively proven by drilling (USGS 2014). Individual resource assessments describe the amount of petroleum resources in units with similar geologic features. We quantified the density of natural gas liquid resources by adding together the amounts in spatially overlapping assessment units and dividing these totals by polygon areas. Since assessments for geologic areas used in this analysis were completed at various times, the certainty related to these values is likely to vary according to geologic unit.

Hydrologic simulations using projected climate data as input to the Precipitation-Runoff Modeling System (PRMS) for the Trinity River Basin Integrated Water Availability Assessment, Texas, 2023

The Trinity River Basin is a major source of water for a large part of Texas that includes the rapidly growing Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston metropolitan areas. An application of the Precipitation-Runoff Modeling System (PRMS) was used to conduct hydrologic simulations for the Trinity River Basin surface water model. Climate variables including daily precipitation, daily maximum temperature, and daily minimum temperature were used to conduct hydrologic simulations to evaluate annual hydrologic response to changes in climate variables from 2018 to 2099. Critical in PRMS calculations, calibrated parameters or attributes are assigned to hydrologic response units (HRU) and stream segments. Outputs of the model include annual water budget variables such as precipitation, actual evapotranspiration, Hortonian surface runoff, and groundwater recharge.

Historical groundwater chemistry data compiled for the Edison, Mountain View, and Ant Hill Oil Fields and vicinity, Kern County, California

This digital dataset contains historical geochemical and other information for 266 samples of groundwater (GW) from 208 wells located within 3 miles of the Edison, Mountain View, and Ant Hill Oil Fields in Kern County, California. The sampled wells include water-supply wells used primarily for domestic, irrigation, and public uses; however, the specific water-supply use of 27 wells is unknown ('unk'). Three wells with water use denoted as 'WS' (water supply) were documented as having originally been used in support of oil production, or were converted from oil production wells to water-supply wells by the time they were sampled. Numerical water chemistry data were compiled from five data sources: 1) Kern County Public Health Services Department (KCPHSD, 2017), 2) California Department of Conservation's Geologic Energy Management Division (CalGEM) archived analytical reports (CalGEM, 2021), 3) CalGEM Underground Injection Control (UIC) program hard-copy records (CalGEM-UIC, 2017), 4) CalGEM's Well Finder (WF) online database (CalGEM-WF, 2022), and 5) the California State Water Resources Control Board GeoTracker online data portal (SWRCB-GT, 2020). These data sources include varying degrees of location and well construction information. Data were manually compiled into two separate files described as follows: 1) a summary data file (EMA_GW_Summary_Data.xlsx) that includes well identifiers, location, construction, the number of chemistry samples, the period of record, specific sample dates for each site, and an inventory of which constituent groups were sampled on each date, and 2) a data file of geochemistry analyses for selected constituents (EMA_GW_Geochemistry.xlsx) classified into one of the following groups: water-quality indicators, major and minor ions, nutrients, trace elements, naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Ion (charge) balance calculations and percent error of these calculations were included for samples having a complete suite of major ion analyses. Parameter code, analytical method, reporting level, reporting level type, dilution factor, and supplemental notes were included where available or pertinent. A data dictionary (EMA_GW_Data-Dictionary. xlsx) describes the geochemistry data file and is provided with this data release.

Compound Topographic Index (CTI) from the Hydrologic Derivatives for Modeling and Analysis (HDMA) database -- Australasia

This dataset contains the Compound Topographic Index (CTI) for Australasia from the Hydrologic Derivatives for Modeling and Analysis (HDMA) database. The data were developed and distributed by processing units. There are 11 processing units for Australasia. The distribution files have the number of the processing unit appended to the end of the zip file name (e.g. au_dem_3_2.zip contains the DEM data for unit 3-2). The HDMA database provides comprehensive and consistent global coverage of raster and vector topographically derived layers, including raster layers of digital elevation model (DEM) data, flow direction, flow accumulation, slope, and compound topographic index (CTI); and vector layers of streams and catchment boundaries. The coverage of the data is global (-180º, 180º, -90º, 90º) with the underlying DEM being a hybrid of three datasets: HydroSHEDS (Hydrological data and maps based on SHuttle Elevation Derivatives at multiple Scales), Global Multi-resolution Terrain Elevation Data 2010 (GMTED2010) and the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM). For most of the globe south of 60º North, the raster resolution of the data is 3-arc-seconds, corresponding to the resolution of the SRTM. For the areas North of 60º, the resolution is 7.5-arc-seconds (the smallest resolution of the GMTED2010 dataset) except for Greenland, where the resolution is 30-arc-seconds. The streams and catchments are attributed with Pfafstetter codes, based on a hierarchical numbering system, that carry important topological information.

Spreadsheet of monthly climate-anomaly timeseries (1950-2099) derived from climate models downscaled by the MACA method assuming historical-standard stomatal resistance

The South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) have evaluated projections of future droughts for south Florida based on climate model output from the Multivariate Adaptive Constructed Analogs (MACA) downscaled climate dataset from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5). The MACA dataset includes both Representative Concentration Pathways 4.5 and 8.5 (RCP4.5 and RCP8.5). 
A Microsoft Excel workbook is provided which tabulates monthly climate-anomaly timeseries for the period January 1950 through December 2099. Anomaly timeseries are provided for precipitation, reference evapotranspiration (ETo), and balances (precipitation - ETo) averaged over regions of interest in every MACA model. The anomaly timeseries are computed as the departure from the long-term monthly means for the period 1950-2005. Climate data are derived from climate models downscaled by the MACA method assuming historical-standard stomatal resistance (rs) for four regions: (1) the entire South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD), (2) the Lower West Coast (LWC) water supply region, (3) the Lower East Coast (LEC) water supply region, and (4) the Okeechobee plus (OKEE+) water supply meta-region consisting of Lake Okeechobee (OKEE), the Lower Kissimmee (LKISS), Upper Kissimmee (UKISS), and Upper East Coast (UEC) water supply regions in the SFWMD.

Time-series measurements of acoustic intensity, flow, pressure, water level, conductivity, temperature, and dissolved oxygen collected in a flooded cave at Cenote Bang, Yucatan Peninsula, Tulum, Mexico from March 25, 2018 to August 1, 2018

Natural flooded caves were accessed along the coastline of the Yucatan Peninsula (Quintana Roo, Mexico) to investigate how regional meteorologic and hydrologic processes control solute transport, mixing, and salinization in the coastal aquifer. Instruments were deployed to monitor environmental parameters within the Ox Bel Ha Cave System accessed through the sinkhole Cenote Bang. These efforts resulted in temporal hydrologic records of specific conductivity, water level (pressure), dissolved oxygen, flow velocity, water temperature, and acoustic data from March 25, 2018 to August 1, 2018. The records encompass dry (November-March) and wet (April-October) seasons and include the impact of precipitation delivered by Tropical Storm Carlotta during June 2018. Field activities were carried out by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Coastal and Marine Hazards and Resources Program (CMHRP).

Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) 2018 Site 0200 land-water classification data

Wetland restoration efforts conducted by the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) in Louisiana rely on monitoring efforts to determine the efficacy of these efforts. The Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) was developed to assist in a multiple-reference approach that uses aspects of hydrogeomorphic functional assessments and probabilistic sampling for monitoring. The CRMS program includes a suite of approximately 398 sites that encompass the range of hydrological and ecological conditions for each stratum. As part of CRMS, land and water classifications are created from Digital Orthophoto Quarter Quadrangles (DOQQs) approximately every three years at all CRMS sites. A DOQQ is a raster image in which displacement in the image caused by sensor orientation and terrain relief has been removed and combines the image characteristics of a photo with geometric qualities of a map. The DOQQs generated for this project consist of 2018 Color Infrared (CIR) Digital Imagery. These images were classified into land and water categories using a threshold of the near infrared (NIR) band, followed by supervised and unsupervised classification.  Initial classification results are then reviewed by multiple image analysts to identify and manually recode errors. The final land-water classifications are intended to serve as both geographic and quantitative assessments of landscape composition on the date of acquisition. Four previous assessments have been conducted (2005, 2008, 2012, and 2015/2016). Once the program creates enough data points for statistical analyses, these data will be used for land area change rate calculation.

SEABOSS Images from the Cruise 2013-005-FA in Block Island Sound, in JPEG Format

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), is producing detailed geologic maps of the coastal sea floor. Bathymetric and sidescan-sonar data, originally collected by NOAA for charting purposes, provide a framework for research and management activities along western Block Island Sound, show the composition and terrain of the seabed, and provide information on sediment transport and benthic habitat. During June 2013, bottom photographs and surficial sediment data were acquired as part of a ground-truth reconnaissance survey of this area. Interpretations were derived from the multibeam-echosounder, sidescan-sonar, sedimentary, and photographic data collected in Block Island Sound. For more information on the ground-truth survey see https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=2013-005-FA.

Oregon Mule Deer Mid-Columbia Stopovers

The Mid-Columbia mule deer herd inhabits a highly variable landscape, featuring annual precipitation ranging from 112 inches (in; 285 cm) near Red Hill in the western part of this herd range to 14 in (36 cm) near The Dalles, Oregon, in the eastern part (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, 2021). Mule deer wintering in the east usually occupy altered grassland and agricultural habitats interspersed with patches of basin big sagebrush, nonnative annual grasses, and both native and planted grassland (Conservation Reserve Program fields). Most of these mule deer are nonmigratory and reside year round near Fifteenmile Creek, Eightmile Creek, and Deschutes River. The mule deer that do migrate travel south to similar types of vegetation near Summit Ridge. Habitats to the west, however, contain more forested cover and winter ranges primarily feature a combination of grasslands, Purshia tridentata (antelope bitterbrush), oak,  ponderosa pine, and mixed-conifer forest. Mule deer in the western region are more migratory, containing individuals that travel west to the foothills of Fir Mountain, Lookout Mountain, and Mount Hood in spring. Summer ranges are dominated by mixed-conifer forests featuring pacific silver fir, mountain hemlock, T. heterophylla (western hemlock), and Pseudotsuga menziesii (Douglas fir). Pastures and farmland are prevalent in the east where dryland wheat, alfalfa hay, and cherries are economically important crops. Black-tailed deer co-occur with mule deer west of U.S. Highway 197 and the two can hybridize in this area. 
Along with frequent smaller wildfires, in 2018, the South Valley Road fire burned 20,026 acres (8,104 ha) of winter habitat near U.S. Highway 197, and the Substation and the Long Hollow fires scorched a combined 111,881 acres (45,277 ha) along the northern portion of the Deschutes River (BLM, 2023a). The 2020 White River fire and 2022 Miller Road fire also respectively burned 17,405 acres (7,044 ha) and 10,847 acres (4,390 ha) of seasonal range and migration corridor habitat outside of Pine Grove, Oregon.  Depending on location, these large fires can have positive or negative impacts on the Mid-Columbia mule deer herd. In the east, fires reduce shelter and allow invasive grasses to proliferate in habitats lacking perennial plant cover, but in the west, they can beneficially open canopy cover in heavily forested areas, exposing the understory to sunlight and invigorating valuable forage species.
These mapping layers show the location of the stopovers for mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) in the Mid-Columbia population in Oregon. They were developed from 98 migration sequences collected from a sample size of 37 animals comprising GPS locations collected every 5-13 hours.
