Water velocity profile measurements in River Raisin near Monroe, Michigan, August 17-September 13, 2023

These data were collected by a SonTek Argonaut-XR 3000-MHz 3D acoustic Doppler current meter (ADCM) that was mounted on an approximately 75-pound mounting plate. The ADCM was deployed on the bottom of River Raisin at approximately 41.899978°N, -83.353548°E and took measurements from August 17-September 13, 2023. These data were collected in cooperation with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), to provide them with data that may help them better understand water velocities caused by river currents, ship traffic, or anything else that could cause the erosion of a 'cap' installed on the river bed that was designed to prevent the dispersion of contaminated soil. 
In reviewing the data it was noticed that on September 6, 2023 between 12:10 and 12:15 UTC, after being relatively stable, the ADCM's heading, pitch, and roll changed by approximately 121°, 60°, and 21°, respectively. Velocity and velocity related statistics and measurements were erroneous after this event.

Code, imagery, and annotations for training a deep learning model to detect wildlife in aerial imagery

There are 3 child zip files included in this data release. 
01_Codebase.zip contains a codebase for using deep learning to filter images based on the probability of any bird occurrence. It includes instructions and files necessary for training, validating, and testing a machine learning detection algorithm.
02_Imagery.zip contains imagery that were collected using a Partenavia P68 fixed-wing airplane using a PhaseOne iXU-R 180 forward motion compensating 80-megapixel digital frame camera with a 70 mm Rodenstock lens. The imagery were cropped into smaller patches of 720x720 pixels for training and 1440x1440 pixels for validation and test datasets. These data were collected for developing machine learning algorithms for the detection and classification of avian targets in aerial imagery. These data can be paired with annotation values to train and evaluate object detection and classification models.
03_Annotations.zip contains a collection of bounding boxes around avian targets in aerial imagery formatted as COCO JSON file. The data are nested under evaluation and test folders and contain both ground truth targets and predicted targets.These data were collected for two main functions. The ground truth avian targets were manually annotated and can be used to train avian detection algorithms using machine learning methods. The predicted targets can be used to evaluate model performance while referencing the larger work associated with these data.

Salinas and Carmel Rivers Basin Study (SCRBS): Future Climate

This digital dataset contains the baseline and future climate data used as the basis for analysis of current and future water supplies and demands in the Salinas and Carmel Rivers Basin Study (SCRBS). SCRBS uses a suite of integrated hydrologic models to explore impacts of future climate and socioeconomic scenarios on water supplies and demands in the basins. SCRBS considers one baseline climate scenario that represents recent historical climate conditions and five future climate scenarios that encompass the range of uncertainty in projections of future climate conditions through the end of the 21st century. The baseline scenario was developed by removing trends from an observed historical climate dataset such that the long-term monthly mean and variance over the full period of record (1931-2015) are consistent with observed historical averages over the baseline period (1980-2009). Future climate scenarios were developed by adjusting the baseline scenario to reflect projected changes in the distributions of monthly precipitation and temperature. The five future climate scenarios reflect the range of projected changes across an ensemble of statistically downscaled climate projections: Hot-Wet (HW), Warm-Wet (WW), Hot-Dry (HD), Warm-Dry (WD), and Central Tendency (CT). Analysis of future climate conditions was based on the Localized Constructed Analogues (LOCA) dataset, which includes statistically downscaled climate projections from global climate models (Pierce and others, 2014). Baseline and future climate scenarios were spatially downscaled from a native 1/16° grid to a 270-meter grid. The data set includes daily 270-meter gridded spatially distributed daily precipitation (PPT), maximum and minimum air temperature (TMX and TMN, respectively), and potential evapotranspiration (PET) from 1/1/2016 to 12/31/2100.

Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) 2005, 2008, 2012, 2015, 2018, and 2021 Site 0595 land-water matrix

Wetland restoration efforts conducted by the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) in Louisiana rely on monitoring to determine the efficacy of these projects. 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. This dataset consists of a matrix of six land-water products (2005, 2008, 2012, 2015, 2018, and 2021).  The resulting matrix has 64 possible classes defined by the combination of land and water categories on those six dates.

Digital elevation and point cloud data from laser scanning at the Gualala paleoseismic site along the San Andreas Fault

These data are derived from laser scanning surveys of a paleoseismic investigation site along the north coast section of the San Andreas Fault near Gualala, CA. We performed three surveys with a terrestrial laser scanner at different stages of trench excavation in 2021. To generate more complete maps of the bare ground at the site, we also incorporated airborne laser scanner data from the USGS 3DEP collected in 2018 to fill in gaps and expand the footprints of the digital elevation models. We provide gridded digital elevation models of the combined terrestrial and airborne "bare earth" ground points, the merged terrestrial and airborne point clouds which we used to create these, and the processed airborne and terrestrial point clouds that also include non-ground points

Water Temperature and Specific Conductance in the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal near the Electrical Dispersal Barrier System at Romeoville, Illinois, October 1, 2018, to September 30, 2019

Water temperature data, in degrees Celsius, and specific conductance data, in microsiemens per centimeter at 25 degrees Celsius,(TC), were measured at U.S. Geological Survey streamgage 05536995 (Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal at Romeoville, Illinois), near the Electrical Dispersal Barrier System (EDBS) in Romeoville, Illinois. The TC data were measured every five-minutes at four gage height levels above the gage datum (P1 = 21 feet, P2 = 17 feet, P3 = 13 feet, P4 = 9 feet). The gage datum is 551.76 feet above the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88). Five minute and daily mean TC data were downloaded from the National Water Information System and stored in a comma separated value files. The five-minute data file was labeled "05536995-WY2019-temp-speccond-five-minute.csv". The daily mean data file was labeled, "05536995-WY2019-temp-speccond-dailymean.csv". The 7-day moving average of the daily mean values were calculated in Microsoft Office Excel. For each day, the 7-day moving average was calculated as the average of the daily mean value for that day and the six previous days. This spreadsheet was saved as a csv file labeled, "05536995-WY2019-temp-speccond-7daymovavg.csv". The water year 2019 annual minimum, maximum, mean, median, and standard deviation were calculated for each of the four temperature and specific conductance probes in Microsoft Office Excel and saved as a csv file, "05536995-WY2019-temp-speccond-annualstats.csv". The csv files containing five-minute, daily mean, 7-day moving average, and annual statistics (minimum, maximum, mean, median, and standard deviation) for water year 2019 are stored as comma seperated value files stored in a zipped folder named 05536995-WY2019-temp-speccond.zip.

Nutrient Calibration Load Estimation Data for the Puget Sound Region, 2005 through 2020

This data release contains estimated seasonal total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) loads during 2005 through 2020 in selected streams of the watersheds draining to Washington waters of the Salish Sea (Puget Sound region). Two load estimation methods were used: Fluxmaster (Schwarz and others, 2006, https://doi.org/10.3133/tm6B3) and Weighted Regression on Time, Discharge, and Season (WRTDS) with Kalman filtering (Hirsch and De Cicco, 2015, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envsoft.2015.07.017). Together with the water-quality data, streamflow data, and estimated nitrogen and phosphorus loads, this release also provides copies of computer programming script that can be used to recreate the load estimates or modified for similar applications (see Process Steps). Seasonal TN and TP loads paired with streamflow were estimated at 50 locations. For convenience, seasonal summaries are also provided of observed streamflow at 128 locations and of observed water temperature at 29 locations.

Arsenic levels in necropsied Sonora mud turtles from Montezuma Well, Arizona in 2015

Montezuma Well is an unusual fishless desert wetland in central Arizona. Water in the Well is naturally enriched with &gt;100 g/L dissolved geogenic arsenic (As) and supports a relatively simple aquatic desert food web with several endemic invertebrate species. Previous studies of As among various environmental compartments and organisms in Montezuma Well have not included turtles despite their potential importance in the As cycle by virtue of their substantial biomass and role as top predators. We measured As concentrations in water, sediment, and organisms (macrophytes, amphipods, insects, leeches, and turtles) representing a range of food web trophic levels, in order to document the importance of turtles in the As cycle at the apex of the Montezuma Well food web.
