Data release associated with the journal article "Solar and sensor geometry, not vegetation response, drive satellite NDVI phenology in widespread ecosystems of the western United States"

This dataset supports the following publication: "Solar and sensor geometry, not vegetation response, drive satellite NDVI phenology in widespread ecosystems of the western United States" (DOI:10.1016/j.rse.2020.112013). The data release allows users to replicate, test, or further explore results.  The dataset consists of 4 separate items based on the analysis approach used in the original publication  1) the 'Phenocam'  dataset uses images from a phenocam in a pinyon juniper ecosystem in Grand Canyon National Park to determine phenological patterns of multiple plant species. The 'Phenocam' dataset consists of scripts and tabular data developed while performing analyses and includes the final NDVI values for all areas of interest (AOIs) described in the associated publication. 2) the 'SolarSensorAnalysis' dataset uses downloaded tabular MODIS data to explore relationships between NDVI and multiple solar and sensor angles. The 'SolarSensorAnalysis' dataset consists of download and analysis scripts in Google Earth Engine and R. The source MODIS data used in the analysis are too large to include but are provided through MODIS providers and can be accessed through Google Earth Engine using the included script. A csv file includes solar and sensor angle information for the MODIS pixel closest to the phenocam as well as for a sample of 100 randomly selected MODIS pixels within the GRCA-PJ ecosystem.   3) the 'WinterPeakExtent'  dataset includes final geotiffs showing the temporal frequency extent and associated vegetation physiognomic types experiencing winter NDVI peaks in the western US.  4) the "SensorComparison" dataset contains the NDVI time series at the phenocam location from 4 other satellites as well as the code used to download these data.

Growth of cultured Picocystis strain ML in the presence of arsenic, and occurrence of arsenolipids in these Picocystis as well as biota and sediment from Mono Lake, California

Mono Lake is a hypersaline soda lake rich in dissolved inorganic arsenic with its primary production currently dominated by &lt;i&gt;Picocystis&lt;/i&gt; str. ML. We set out to determine if this picoplankter could metabolize inorganic arsenic, and in doing so form unusual arsenolipids (e.g., methylated arsinoyl ribosides) as reported in other saline ecosystems and by halophilic algae. We cultivated Picocystis str. ML on an inorganic seawater-based medium with either low (37 µM) or high (1,000 µM) phosphate in the presence of arsenite (~0.4 mM), arsenate (~0.8 mM), or without arsenic additions.

Data to Estimate Water Use Associated with Continuous Oil and Gas Development, Permian Basin, United States, 1980-2019

One of the largest conventional oil reservoirs in the United States, the Permian Basin, is becoming one of the world’s largest continuous oil and gas producing reservoirs. Continuous, or horizontal well drilling techniques extract oil and gas by directionally drilling and hydraulically fracturing the surrounding reservoir rock. The continuous extraction of oil and gas using hydraulic fracturing requires large volumes of water, and estimates of the total water volume used in the Continuous Oil and Gas (COG) extraction technique, requires a comprehensive assessment to determine the amount of water needed to extract reservoir resources. This data release contains the input and output files utilized for the assessment of water usage associated with continuous oil production in the Permian Basin.  All data points that met the filtering criteria as described in the child item Data Processing &lt;procdesc&gt; steps were retained in the data release. Further filtering of data points to remove unrealistic values was done prior to modeling. Model simulations were completed for the years 1980-2019. Results were used in the associated Scientific Investigations Report “Estimates of Water Use Associated with Continuous Oil and Gas Development in the Permian Basin, Texas and New Mexico, 1980–2019” (Valder and others, 2021).

Wading surveys of bed topography and water depth from the Blue River and Colorado River, near Kremmling, Colorado, October 18, 2018

Field-based real-time kinematic (RTK) GNSS surveys of water surface elevation and channel bed topography were collected along the Colorado River, focusing on two cross-sections from which remotely sensed data were obtained.  These data were used to assess the accuracy of river bed elevations inferred from the ASTRALiTe bathymetric lidar, acquired from an unmanned aircraft system (UAS).  These data sets were collected to support research focused on developing innovative methods for non-contact measurement of river discharge based on various forms of remotely sensed data.  The RTK GNSS surveys were performed using a local base station and Trimble R8 and R10 receivers while wading the channel at each cross-section. The survey data were post-processed by performing an OPUS correction of the static observations collected by the base and adjusting all of the survey points accordingly.  The survey data were exported to comma-separated text files and the resulting *.csv files contain for each point number a point ID, spatial coordinates, elevations, and a descriptive code.  One of the fields contains the depths calculated as the difference between surveyed water surface elevations and bed elevations at points within the channel.

Continuous Monitoring Data From Great Barnstable Marsh on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, 2017-19

Salt marshes are environmental ecosystems that contribute to coastal landscape resiliency to storms and rising sea level. Ninety percent of mid-Atlantic and New England salt marshes have been impacted by parallel grid ditching that began in the 1920s–40s to control mosquito populations and to provide employment opportunities during the Great Depression (James-Pirri and others, 2009; Kennish, 2001). Continued alteration of salt marsh hydrology has had unintended consequences for salt marsh sustainability and ecosystem services. Great Barnstable Marsh (Barnstable, Cape Cod, Massachusetts) has areas of salt marsh that were ditched as well as natural areas. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) measured parameters for groundwater wells (water elevation, water depth below land surface, salinity, and water temperature), soil and air temperature, and other meteorological parameters. All these parameters affect plant productivity and are key components of salt marsh carbon cycling, carbon storage, and its ability to maintain elevation in response to changing sea level. These USGS datasets can be used to evaluate changes in water levels across ditched and natural salt marsh regions and provide information for any future studies of salt marsh productivity and geomorphic models in Great Barnstable Marsh.
