CACO2002_EAARLA_BE_z19_n88g12B_metadata: EAARL Coastal Topography--Cape Cod National Seashore, Massachusetts, 2002: Bare Earth

ASCII XYZ point cloud data were produced from remotely sensed, geographically referenced elevation measurements acquired cooperatively by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the National Park Service (NPS). Elevation measurements were collected over Cape Cod National Seashore using the first-generation National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Experimental Advanced Airborne Research Lidar (EAARL), a pulsed laser ranging system mounted onboard an aircraft to measure ground elevation, vegetation canopy, and coastal topography. The system uses high-frequency laser beams directed at the Earth's surface through an opening in the bottom of the aircraft's fuselage. The laser system records the time difference between emission of the laser beam and the reception of the reflected laser signal in the aircraft. The plane travels over the target area at approximately 60 meters per second at an elevation of approximately 300 meters, resulting in a laser swath of approximately 240 meters with an average point spacing of 2-3 meters. The EAARL, developed originally by NASA at Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia, measures ground elevation with a vertical resolution of 3 centimeters. A sampling rate of 3 kilohertz or higher results in an extremely dense spatial elevation dataset. Over 100 kilometers of coastline can be surveyed easily within a 3- to 4-hour mission. When resultant elevation maps for an area are analyzed, they provide a useful tool to make management decisions regarding land development.

GSFLOW groundwater-surface-water model 2016 update for the Trout Lake Watershed

A 2016 update was made to the GSFLOW model documented in SIR 2013-5159, which is 
available online ( https://pubs.usgs.gov/sir/2013/5159/ ). The original GSFLOW model was 
created to simulate climate changes effects on streamflow, lake budgets, and stream 
temperature in the Trout Lake Watershed, Wisconsin. The computer code GSFLOW 
(Groundwater/Surface-water FLOW) was used to simulate the coupled hydrologic system; 
a surface-water model represented hydrologic processes in the atmosphere, at land surface, 
and within the soil-zone, and a groundwater-flow model represented the unsaturated zone, 
saturated zone, stream, and lake budgets. The coupled GSFLOW model was calibrated by 
using heads, streamflows, lake levels, actual evapotranspiration rates, solar radiation, and 
snowpack measurements collected during water years 1998–2007; calibration was performed 
by using advanced features present in the PEST parameter estimation software suite. The 
updated model for this data release extended the simulation period to 1975-2015 (first 13 
years discarded as spin-up) as compared to 1988-2007 (first 12 years discarded as spinup) 
for the original GSFLOW model of SIR 2013-5159.

Argon data for Hugub Area, Kesem-Kebena-Dulecha, Ethiopia

Tephra samples were collected by Leah Morgan (now at the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)) from the Hugub Area, Kesem-Kebena-Dulecha, Afar, Ethiopia. Sanidine grains were separated from the bulk sample and analyzed by argon geochronology at the Scottish Universities Environmental Research Centre, Scotland. The data indicate that the age of the Hugub Bed, which is rich in archarological artifacts, is ca. 500 ka.  These results have broad implications in understanding late Acheulean archaeology in Ethiopia.

Tennessee groundwater well locations from 7.5-minute quadrangle maps

The state of Tennessee is divided into 805 individual 7.5-minute topographic quadrangle maps. The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) maintains an archive of paper maps that were utilized for estimating groundwater well locations. Each well location was plotted by hand and marked with corresponding water well data. These hand-plotted locations represent the most accurate spatial information for each well but solely exist in paper format. 
To create a shapefile of the well location data for this data release, individual paper maps were scanned and georeferenced. From these georeferenced map images (GRI), the hand-plotted well locations were digitized, and a shapefile of point data was created. Attribute table data include quad name, drawing number, and hand-written identification data that was transcribed from the topographic maps. Latitude and longitude coordinates (decimal degrees) were populated and incorporated into the attribute table. The projection is USA Contiguous Albers Equal Area Conic USGS (meters). 
Detailed descriptions of the attributes can be found in the accompanying metadata files. Shapefile and metadata files can be located in child item for the quadrangle (sorted alphabetically).

Synthetic storm-driven flood-inundation grids for coastal communities along the Hudson and Hackensack Rivers and adjacent to the Newark tide gage from North Bergen Township to Linden, NJ

Digital flood-inundation maps for coastal communities within Essex, Hudson, and Union Counties in New Jersey were created by water surfaces generated by an Advanced Circulation hydrodynamic (ADCIRC) and Simulating Waves Nearshore (SWAN) model from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Region II coastal analysis and mapping study (Federal Emergency Management Agency, 2014). Six synthetic modeled tropical storm events from a library of 159 events were selected based on parameters including landfall location or closest approach location, maximum wind speed, central pressure, and radii of winds. Two storm events were selected for the tide gage providing two "scenarios" and accompanying inundation-map libraries.

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management (MA CZM), is producing detailed geologic maps of the coastal sea floor. Imagery, originally collected by NOAA for charting purposes, provides a fundamental framework for research and management activities along this part of the Massachusetts coastline, shows the composition and terrain of the seabed, and provides information on sediment transport and benthic habitat. Interpretive data layers were derived from multibeam echo-sounder and sidescan-sonar data collected in the vicinity of Woods Hole, a passage between the Elizabeth Islands and Cape Cod, Massachusetts.  In November 2007, bottom photographs, seismic-reflection profiles, and surficial sediment data were acquired as part of a ground-truth reconnaissance survey.

Freshwater Introduction South of Highway 82 (ME-16): 2018 land-water classification

The Louisiana State Legislature created the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) in order to conserve, restore, create and enhance Louisiana's coastal wetlands. The wetland restoration plans developed pursuant to these acts specifically require an evaluation of the effectiveness of each coastal wetlands restoration project in achieving long-term solutions to arresting coastal wetlands loss. This data set includes mosaicked aerial photographs for the Freshwater Introduction South of Highway 82 (ME-16) project for 2018. This data is used as a basemap land-water classification. It also serves as a visual tool for project managers to help them identify any obvious problems or land loss within their project boundary. To better evaluate the effectiveness of restoration efforts, a land-water classification is performed on specific CWPPRA sites to help assess landscape changes.
