2021 Organic Matter Research Lab Full Spectra Absorbance Data

The USGS CAWSC Organic Matter Research Laboratory (OMRL) provides laboratory services and support to regional and national projects in the analysis of organic matter using the latest methods in absorbance and fluorescence spectroscopy. Optical measurements such as absorbance and fluorescence are used to gain insight into dissolved organic matter (DOM) composition, and can also serve as proxies for more expensive and difficult to obtain measurements. These techniques are relatively rapid and inexpensive and allow for the comprehensive tracking of DOM dynamics in aquatic ecosystems ranging from rivers and lakes to estuaries to open marine systems. 
Absorbance spectra and fluorescence matrices were simultaneously collected on filtered water samples at room temperature (21 °C) in an acid-cleaned 1 cm quartz cuvette using a spectrofluorometer equipped with a charge-coupled device (CCD) (Aqualog®, Horiba Instruments, New Jersey, U.S.A.). Excitation and absorbance scans were performed using a double-grating monochrometer, a 150 W Xenon arc lamp, a 5 nm bandpass, and a 1 s integration time at wavelengths of 240-800 nm. Emission spectra were collected with a CCD at approximately 2.3 nm (4 pixel) intervals at wavelengths of 245–800 nm. Excitation and absorbance wavelengths were scanned from low to high energy (i.e., VIS to UV) to reduce UV exposure of the sample, thus limiting the effects of photobleaching during analysis.  
Data presented here were analyzed by the U.S Geological Survey California Water Science Center Organic Matter Research Lab, Sacramento CA. This release contains full spectra absorbance data measured on the Aqualog ® fluorometer January-December 2021.

Modeled conterminous United States Crop Cover datasets for 2006

Crop cover maps have become widely used in a range of research applications. Multiple crop cover maps have been developed to suite particular research interests. The National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) Cropland Data Layers (CDL) are a series of commonly used crop cover maps for the conterminous United States (CONUS) that span from 2008-2013. In this investigation we wanted to expand the temporal coverage of the NASS CDL archive back to 2000 by creating yearly NASS CDL-like crop cover maps derived from a classification tree model algorithm. We used over 11 million crop sample records to train a classification tree algorithm and to develop a crop classification model (CCM). The model was used to create crop cover maps for the CONUS for years 2000-2013 at 250 meter spatial resolution. The CCM and the maps for years 2008-2013 were assessed for accuracy relative to downscaled NASS CDLs to 250 meter. The CCM performed well against a withheld test dataset with a prediction accuracy of over 90 percent. The assessment of the crop cover maps indicated that the model performed well spatially, placing crop cover pixels within their known domains. However, the model did show a bias toward the “Other” crop cover class which caused frequent misclassifications of pixels around the periphery of large crop cover patches and of pixels that form small, sparsely dispersed crop cover patches.

Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) 2016 Site 0355 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 390 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 2016 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. Three previous assessments have been conducted (2005, 2008, and 2012). Once the program creates enough data points for statistical analyses, these data will be used for land area change rate calculation.

CoSMoS (Coastal Storm Modeling System) Southern California v3.0 Phase 2 ocean-currents projections: 20-year storm in Orange County

Model-derived ocean current velocities (in meters per second) for the given storm condition and sea-level rise (SLR) scenario.
The Coastal Storm Modeling System (CoSMoS) makes detailed predictions (meter-scale) over large geographic scales (100s of kilometers) of storm-induced coastal flooding and erosion for both current and future sea-level rise (SLR) scenarios. CoSMoS v3.0 for Southern California shows projections for future climate scenarios (sea-level rise and storms) to provide emergency responders and coastal planners with critical storm-hazards information that can be used to increase public safety, mitigate physical damages, and more effectively manage and allocate resources within complex coastal settings.
Model details and data sources are outlined in CoSMoS_3.0_Phase_2_Southern_California_Bight:_Summary_of_data_and_methods (available at https://www.sciencebase.gov/catalog/file/get/57f1d4f3e4b0bc0bebfee139?name=CoSMoS_SoCalv3_Phase2_summary_of_methods.pdf). Phase 2 data for Southern California include flood-hazard information for the coast from the border of Mexico to Pt. Conception. Several changes from Phase 1 projections are reflected in many areas; please read the Summary of methods and inspect output carefully.  Data are complete for the information presented.

Neritic sediments of the Merrimack Embayment (ANAN71 shapefile)

The coastal dunes, beaches, and inner neritic zone of the Merrimack Embayment constitute a petrologic province.  In addition to heavy mineral analyses, grain size statistics were generated on most of the samples. Neritic and beach sediments can be differentiated using scatter plots of statistics, but statistical parameters are ineffective in differentiating between river and neritic sediments.

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.

Subregions of the Death Valley regional ground-water flow system, Nevada and California

This digital data set defines the subregions of the transient ground-water flow model of the Death Valley 
regional ground-water flow system (DVRFS). Subregions are used to more readily describe and evaluate
the source, occurrence, and movement of ground water within and between the smaller areas of the DVRFS, 
which is an approximately 45,000 square-kilometer region of southern Nevada and California. The subregions, 
first described by D'Agnese and others (1997), consist of a northern, central, and southern subregion. The 
subregions are defined by grouping  ground-water sections into ground-water basins and ultimately grouping 
ground-water basins into ground-water subregions. Where applicable, ground-water flow paths were used to 
modify the section boundaries so that the basin and subregion boundaries do not always coincide with the 
section boundaries.  The subregions, basins, and sections are used for descriptive purposes only and do 
not define independent flow systems. The subregions, basins, and sections are delineated primarily on 
(1) location of recharge areas; 
(2) regional hydraulic gradients; 
(3) distribution of aquifers, structures, and confining units that affect flow; 
(4) location of major discharge areas; and (5) hydrochemical composition of the ground water.
