A Soil-Water-Balance model and precipitation data used for HEC/HMS modelling at the Glacial Ridge National Wildlife Refuge area, northwestern Minnesota, 2002–15.

Input data, executable computer program, output data, and metadata of a Soil-Water-Balance (SWB) model for the Glacial Ridge National Wildlife area, northwestern Minnesota during the years 2002 through 2015. Also included is a data set of selected hourly precipitation totals for six ditch basins used in HEC/HMS ditch-flow modelling in the the Glacial Ridge National Wildlife area, 2004–2006 and 2013–2015 described in the associated report.  
A soil-water balance model (SWB) was developed to estimate evapotranspiration in six ditch basins of the Glacial Ridge National Wildlife Refuge area, northwestern Minnesota, during 2002–2015. The model was used to estimate evapotranspiration in water balances in six ditch basins as part of the associated report, U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2019-5041 (http://dx.doi.org/10.3133/SIR20195041). This SWB model was derived from the statewide Minnesota SWB potential recharge model, described, calibrated, and documented as part of U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2015-5038 (http://dx.doi.org/10.3133/sir20155038). The data sets and calibrations from the Minnesota statewide model were used without modification except for the more detailed precipitation, water capacity, and land use input data.  In this model, precipitation data were interpolated from local raingages.  Water capacity data were taken from the gSSURGO soils data base.  Land-use data were compiled from three sources using the most detailed data: the National Land Cover Database, the Cropland Data Layer and data from the local Natural Resources Conservation Service office.  Details of the procedures used to produce these three detailed data sets can be found in U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2019-5041 (http://dx.doi.org/10.3133/SIR20195041). This model was not recalibrated.  All calibrated parameters remain the same as those in the statewide Minnesota SWB model.  The areal resolution of this model was increased to a 60-meter square grid and the temporal period was extended through 2015 relative to the statewide SWB model.  Daymet (version 2) daily surface temperature data necessary to run this SWB model are available upon request through the following link: https://doi.org/10.3334/ORNLDAAC/1219.

Geophysical data from the unnamed lake at the National Crude Oil Spill Fate and Natural Attenuation Research Site, Bemidji, MN (ver. 3.0, May 2022)

The National Crude Oil Spill Fate and Natural Attenuation Research Site is located near Bemidji, MN, USA. A high-pressure oil pipeline ruptured in 1979 releasing ~1.7 million liters of light crude oil, which sprayed over an area of ~6500 square meters and collected in topographic depressions. Approximately 75% of the spilled oil was recovered. Much of the remainder reached the water table, where it is distributed into three residual oil bodies (the north, middle, and south oil pools). Groundwater flows east-northeast toward a small lake roughly 300 m downgradient from the original spill site.  Secondary reactions of sediments with byproducts from anaerobic degradation of the oil plumes cause increases in total dissolved solids, which are transported in groundwater and raise the electrical conductivity of the groundwater above background levels, presenting a potential monitoring target for electrical geophysical methods.  
This data release contains electromagnetic induction (EMI), ground penetrating radar (GPR), electrical resistivity tomography (ERT), and specific conductance (SpC) data collected over and within the lake where it is believed high SpC groundwater associated with degradation of the oil plume is discharging.  Direct measurements of lake sediment specific conductance and temperature, as well as pore water specific conductance, are also included.  
The current release (ver. 3.0) contains data from 2018, 2019, and 2021.  Previous versions of this data release contained only data from 2018 (version 1.0), and data from 2018 and 2019 (version 2.0).  The interested user can contact Neil Terry (nterry@usgs.gov) or the USGS Hydrogeophysics Branch to obtain a copy of the original release.  A revision history is also included on this root page.

Conceptual marsh units for Cape Cod National Seashore salt marsh complex, Massachusetts

The salt marsh complex of Cape Cod National Seashore (CACO), Massachusetts, USA and approximal wetlands were delineated to smaller, conceptual marsh units by geoprocessing of surface elevation data. Flow accumulation based on the relative elevation of each location is used to determine the ridge lines that separate each marsh unit while the surface slope is used to automatically assign each unit a drainage point, where water is expected to drain through. Through scientific efforts initiated with the Hurricane Sandy Science Plan, the U.S. Geological Survey has been expanding national assessment of coastal change hazards and forecast products to coastal wetlands. The intent is to provide federal, state, and local managers with tools to estimate their vulnerability and ecosystem service potential. For this purpose, the response and resilience of coastal wetlands to physical factors need to be assessed in terms of the ensuing change to their vulnerability and ecosystem services. CACO is one of the selected domains to expand this study.

Fumarole gas geochemistry and tree-ring radiocarbon data at Mammoth Mountain, California (1989-2016)

Mammoth Mountain is a dacitic dome complex located on the southwestern rim of Long Valley Caldera, California.  Mammoth Mountain has exhibited unrest over the past ~30 years, characterized by seismicity over a broad range of depths, elevated 3He/4He ratios in fumarolic gas and large-scale diffuse CO2 emissions. Monitoring of this unrest has included collection of fumarole gas samples for geochemical analysis and tree cores for radiocarbon analysis of annual growth rings.  This report updates the long-term geochemical record at Mammoth Mountain, compiling the chemical and isotopic (d13C-CO2, 3He/4He) compositions of 59 gas samples collected from Mammoth Mountain fumarole from 1998 to 2016.  In addition, we report radiocarbon compositions of 1989-2016 and 2013-2016 annual growth rings for the CTWP and HSL-1 lodgepole pines, respectively.  The data sets are saved in spreadsheets in the *.csv format. The reader is referred to publications for details on sampling and analytical methods and data interpretations.

Water-surface elevations derived from submersible pressure transducers deployed along the Green River near Jensen, Utah, February-September 2018

Twenty one submersible pressure transducers were deployed along the Green River near Jensen, Utah in late February 2018. At some locations two transducers were deployed at different elevations to capture the expected range of water level fluctuations, an "upper" and "lower" transducer. Two additional transducers were left out of the water to correct for barometric pressure fluctuations. At the time of deployment, the position of a reference point located on a t-post to which each transducer was mounted was measured with real-time kinematic GPS equipment. In addition, a tape down or the distance between the reference point to the water surface was recorded.The transducers collected a depth measurement every 15 minutes until their recovery in September. Seventeen of the twenty one transducers were recovered. We adjusted the water-surface elevation measured at deployment by the difference between the depth measured at deployment and each subsequent depth measurement at the recovered transducers to compute the water-surface elevation at 15-minute intervals.

Ohia Dieback Study - Hawaii Island Canopy Status Assessment Table, 1977 - 2015

We analyzed very-high-resolution imagery to assess status of Metrosideros polymorpha forests across an 83,603 hectare study area that experienced extensive canopy dieback in the 1970s on the eastern side of the island of Hawaii. Using GIS we generated 1170 virtual vegetation plots with a 100 m radius; 541 plots in areas mapped in 1977 with trees dead or mostly defoliated (dieback), and 629 plots in adjacent wet forest habitat, previously mapped as non-dieback condition. In each plot we estimated the percent of M. polymorpha trees dead or mostly defoliated, and percent of trees with healthy crowns. These results were combined with habitat data to produce a spatial model depicting probability of canopy dieback within the study area.
Seventy-nine percent of plots mapped in 1977 in dieback condition recovered their canopy and were now considered in non-dieback condition. Ninety-one percent of plots in previous non-dieback areas were found to still have a healthy M. polymorpha canopy in 2015. 
This dataset contains the results of the analysis showing the status of the ohia canopy in 1977 and its status from the plot assessment conducted in 2015. Additionally, the dataset contains several covariate variables that were used during the analysis.

Water-surface elevations derived from submersible pressure transducers deployed along the Salcha River, Alaska, July-October 2018

The U.S. Geological Survey deployed seven submersible pressure transducers on the bottom of the Salcha River in July 2018. An additional transducer was left out of the water to correct for barometric pressure fluctuations. At the time of deployment, the bank position near each transducer and the water-surface elevation were measured with real-time kinematic GPS equipment. The transducers collected a depth measurement every 15-min until the recovery of five of the seven in October. We adjusted the water elevation measured at deployment by the difference between the depth measured at deployment and each subsequent depth measurement to derive the water-surface elevation at 15-min intervals. The data included as part of this release include the horizontal location of the five transducers and water-surface elevation at the time of deployment. In addition, the date, time, water temperature, barometric pressure control reading, barometric pressure compensated depth measurement, and computed water-surface elevation are reported for each recovered transducer.

Aqueous chemistry database, Sleepers River Research Watershed, Danville, Vermont, 1991-2018

The Sleepers River Research Watershed, near Danville, Vermont, is a 111-square-kilometer watershed established in 1958 by the Agricultural Research Service.The research watershed has since been operated by three other federal agencies: National Weather Service, U.S. Army Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL), and U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). USGS started at the site in collaboration with CRREL in 1991 and has been the sole operating entity since 2000. From 1991 to 2017, the research watershed was part of the national 5-site network of the USGS Water, Energy, and Biogeochemical Budgets (WEBB) program. Since 2017 Sleepers has been funded by USGS Land Change Science to continue the core measurements at the small watershed scale while expanding the geographic scope to the larger Connecticut River basin.
This data release brings together the analytical results from more than 15,000 samples into a single spreadsheet ("1. Sleepers River Aqueous Chemistry.csv;" located in file "Sleepers Chemistry Release Files.zip"). Five additional supporting files document different facets of a thorough quality-control effort. One of the challenges posed by this effort was to integrate results from 18 separate laboratories used over the course of the study. The project's operational model encouraged academic collaboration to augment federal funding, and, lacking its own laboratory, frequently relied on student researchers using university laboratories.  Harmonizing these various data sources was one objective of this data release effort. Continuity is provided by the U.S. Forest Service laboratory in Durham, New Hampshire, which has analyzed weekly precipitation and stream samples throughout the 30-year project history.
The dataset includes major ion chemistry, select metals, and isotopic composition for atmospheric deposition, streamflow, and subsurface waters. The data release is structured as six pairs of data (.csv) and metadata (.xml) files: (1) the main chemistry and isotope dataset, (2) a description of the site names and sampling locations, (3) a description of the 18 individual laboratories used, (4) results of inter-laboratory comparisons, (5) statistics on replicate analyses, and (6) results of blank analyses.
