Satellite precipitation estimates for selected locations in the Republic of the Marshall Islands

The Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) is a sovereign Small Island State in the tropical central North Pacific Ocean. RMI is a nation of more than thirty atolls and islands, most of which are inhabited, dispersed across an exclusive economic zone (EEZ) over 2 million square kilometers. This data release contains files of daily precipitation estimates beginning in 2001 for 23 inhabited sites in the RMI derived from Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for GPM (IMERG; https://gpm.nasa.gov/data/imerg). The files contain either "Late IMERG" data or "Final IMERG" data and are in millimeter per day. These data were compiled to support a 2022-2023 U.S. Geological Survey project to develop methods to apply Earth Observation to monitor the health of vegetation in the RMI, funded by the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Agency for International Development Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance.

Hydroclimate Projections for Select U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Properties - Mountain-Prairie Region, 1951-2099

This data release contains time-series data and plots summarizing mean monthly temperature (TAVE) and total monthly precipitation (PPT), and runoff (RO) from the U.S. Geological Survey Monthly Water Balance Model at 115 National Wildlife Refuges within the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Mountain-Prairie Region (Colorado, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming). These three variables are derived from two sets of statistically downscaled general circulation models from 1951 through 2099. Three variables (TAVE, PPT, and RO for refuge areas) were summarized for four 19-year periods: historical (1951–69), baseline (1981–99), 2050 (2041–59), and 2080 (2071-89). For each refuge, mean monthly plots, seasonal box plots, and annual envelope plots were produced for each of the four periods.

Seepage-run discharge measurements, June 7, 2022, Ukumehame Gulch, Maui, Hawai'i

This data release contains a comma-delimited ascii file of ten same-day, discrete discharge measurements made at sites along selected reaches of Ukumehame Gulch, Maui, Hawai'i on June 7, 2022. These discrete discharge measurements form what is commonly referred to as a “seepage run.” The intent of the seepage run is to quantify the spatial distribution of streamflow along the reach during fair-weather, low-flow conditions, generally characterized by negligible direct runoff within the reach. The measurements can be used to characterize the net seepage of water into (water gain) or out of (water loss) the stream channel between measurement sites provided that the measurements were made during stable, nonchanging flow conditions (or, in some cases, were made simultaneously during transient flow conditions) and external surface inflows (for example, a tributary) or outflows (for example, a diversion) of water to the reach are quantified and accounted for in the computation of net seepage.

Compiled age tracer and redox chemistry data for the State of Wisconsin, 1987-2009

This data set was compiled to support the development of a model of oxygen reduction rates in Wisconsin groundwater wells; a model which is part of a Groundwater Nitrate Decision Support Tool for Wisconsin.  Data were compiled from previously published studies with data collection from 1987 to 2009.  Only data describing redox condition, groundwater age, depth to water, and well construction were compiled, though a majority of these studies presented a broader suite of analytes.  Parameters compiled include dissolved oxygen, nitrate, indicators of denitrification, and parameters used in estimating groundwater age including tritium and chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) concentration.  Age estimates based on these data, where published, were also included in this data set. The compilation of this data set did not involve quality control evaluation of the data; rather any qualifiers indicating data quality that were reported as part of the source data set were included.

Salish Sea water level hindcast simulations: 1985-2015

Simulatations of water levels in the Salish Sea for a continuous hindcast of the period October 1, 1985, to September 30, 2015 were conducted to evaluate the utility and skill of a sea-level anomaly predictor and to develop extreme water level estimates accounting for decadal climate variability. The model accounts for sea level position, tides, remote sea-level anomalies, local winds and storm surge and stream flows as they affect water density. Comparison of modeled and measured water levels showed the model predicts extreme water levels at NOAA tide gage stations within 0.15 m. Model inputs and outputs of time-series water levels along the -5 m depth isobath are presented. In addition, extreme water level recurrence for the 1-,2-,5-,10-,20-,50-, and 100-year water levels computed from annual Maxima/Generalized Extreme Value (AM/GEV) and peak-over-threshold (POT) extreme value analyses across the entire domain are presented.

California Groundwater Ambient Monitoring and Assessment (GAMA) Program Domestic-Supply (Shallow) Aquifer Assessment Study Unit Boundaries for Assessment of Groundwater Resources

The California Groundwater Ambient Monitoring and Assessment Program (GAMA) is a statewide assessment of groundwater quality designed to help better understand and identify risks to groundwater resources. GAMA is implemented by the California State Water Resources Control Board. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is the technical lead for the Priority Basin Project (PBP), one of the components of the GAMA Program. Starting in 2012, GAMA began an assessment of water resources in domestic-supply (shallow) aquifers in California. These aquifers provide water for domestic and small community-supply wells, which are often drilled to shallower depths in the groundwater system than public-supply wells. Domestic-supply aquifers are of interest because shallow groundwater may respond more quickly and be more susceptible to contamination from human activities at the land surface, than the deeper aquifers (USGS, 2018). 
To prioritize domestic-supply aquifers, California was divided into 938 groundwater units consisting of California Department of Water Resources (DWR) groundwater basins and highland areas outside of the basins defined by California Groundwater Units (Johnson and Belitz, 2014) or Hydrologic Units (HUC8) from the Watershed Boundary Dataset (USGS and USDA, 2013). The groundwater units were prioritized for sampling based on the number and density of households relying on domestic wells, water-use, and well-location information compiled from well-completion reports submitted to the DWR. The groundwater units were grouped into study units designed to facilitate comparison of groundwater quality between the shallow aquifer systems and the deep aquifer systems assessed by GAMA from 2004 to 2012 (Bennett, 2018). The study units (and study areas when applicable) were divided into equal area polygons (cells) so that all cells within a given study unit (or study area) have an equal area. These grid cells can be found in the GAMA_PBP_SAA_GridCells shapefile included in this Data Release.
Version Notes: This Data Release supersedes the data release published in 2020 (version 1). This data release was updated to include study units sampled since the initial publication. Also, report references for all version 1 study units have been updated to reflect the most recent publications for each study unit. In addition, study unit names were updated to be listed as the full name instead of the study unit abbreviations used in version 1. Minor revisions were also made to the metadata text.
