Algorithms for model parameter estimation and state estimation using the Kalman Filter for forecasting, filtering, and fixed-lag smoothing applied to a state-space model for one-dimensional vertical infiltration

The algorithms in this data release implement a State-Space Model (SSM) of vertical infiltration through the unsaturated zone and recharge to the water table. These algorithms build on previous investigations available at https://doi.org/10.1029/2020WR029110 and https://doi.org/10.1111/gwat.13206. The SSM is defined by observed states (i.e., the water-table altitude) and unobserved states (i.e., fluxes through the unsaturated zone and recharge to the water table)and interprets time-series data for observations of water-table altitude and meteorological inputs (i.e., the liquid precipitation rate and the Potential Evapotranspiration (PET) rate). The algorithms first perform the estimation of the SSM parameters from the time-series data over a Parameter-Estimation Window (PEW). The estimated model parameters are then used in a subsequent State-Estimation Window (SEW) to estimate the observed and unobserved systems states of the SSM using the Kalman Filter (KF). The application of the KF to the SSM facilitates the assimilation of the recently available observations of the water-table altitude in the estimation of the observed and unobserved system states over the SEW. An additional outcome of applying the KF is the calculation of the time-varying error covariance of the system states over the SEW. The algorithms are used to demonstrate a comparison of the model outcomes for forecasting, filtering, and fixed-lag smoothing (FLS) using data for water-table altitude and meteorological inputs available from the Masser Recharge Site, which was operated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service. The algorithms were prepared and executed using the computational software MATLAB to meet the needs of the investigation presented in https://doi.org/10.1111/gwat.13349. MATLAB is a proprietary software, and thus, an executable version of the software cannot be supplied with this data release. The MATLAB files comprising the algorithms are included in this data release. The interested user would need to secure the appropriate versions of MATLAB and the associated MATLAB toolboxes. This USGS data release contains all of the input and output files for the simulations described in the associated journal article (https://doi.org/10.1111/gwat.13349).

Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) 2021 Site 0626 land-water classification data

Wetland restoration efforts conducted by the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) in Louisiana rely on monitoring efforts to determine the efficacy of these efforts. 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 398 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. A DOQQ is a raster image in which displacement in the image caused by sensor orientation and terrain relief has been removed and combines the image characteristics of a photo with geometric qualities of a map. The DOQQs generated for this project consist of 2021 Color Infrared (CIR) Digital Imagery. These images were classified into land and water categories using a threshold of the near infrared (NIR) band, followed by supervised and unsupervised classification.  Initial classification results are then reviewed by multiple image analysts to identify and manually recode errors. The final land-water classifications are intended to serve as both geographic and quantitative assessments of landscape composition on the date of acquisition. Five previous assessments have been conducted (2005, 2008, 2012, 2015/2016, and 2018). Once the program creates enough data points for statistical analyses, these data will be used for land area change rate calculation.

Study area boundary for unconfined aquifer analysis, Wood River Valley, South-Central Idaho

The entire population of the Wood River Valley depends on ground water for domestic supply, 
either from domestic or municipal-supply wells, rapid population growth since the 1970s has 
raised concerns about the continued availability of ground and surface water to support existing 
uses and streamflow.  To help address these concerns, ground- and surface-water conditions 
in the area before and during the population growth that started in the 1970s was evaluated.  
This dataset denotes the boundary for ground-water analysis relating to 2006 hydrologic 
conditions of the unconfined aquifer.  Four of the tributary canyons outlined by this boundary 
were not included in ground-water analysis for pre-development conditions due to lack of 
pre-development data in these areas.

Three-Dimensional Chronostratigraphic Model and supporting well data for the Los Angeles Coastal Plain, Los Angeles and Orange Counties, California

This data release contains a digital geospatial dataset generated by the U.S. Geological Survey under a cooperative agreement with the Water Replenishment District of Southern California to characterize the three-dimensional hydrogeology of the Los Angeles Coastal Plain. The geospatial dataset covers about 580 square miles of the largest coastal plain of southern California and contains the unit tops and extents of the three-dimensional chronostratigraphic model (3D CM) and supporting well data. The 3D CM was constructed in EarthVision using methods described in Development of a Groundwater-Simulation Model in the Los Angeles Coastal Plain, Los Angeles County, California; Chapter B (Ponti and Martin, 2021). Specifically, the geospatial database contains (1) a shapefile (point feature class) for the altitude of the top of each chronostratigraphic unit where it exists on a spatial grid in the 3D CM; and (2) a shapefile (point feature class) of wells used to construct the 3D CM including their corresponding name, location, source of well data, and depths of stratigraphic picks.

Simulated data supporting inbreeding rate estimates from incomplete pedigrees

This data release includes:
(1) The data from simulations used to illustrate the behavior of inbreeding rate estimators. Estimating inbreeding rates is particularly difficult for natural populations because parentage information for many individuals may be incomplete. Our analyses illustrate the behavior of a newly-described inbreeding rate estimator that outperforms previously described approaches in the scientific literature.
(2) All of the source code from the "analytical expressions", "computer simulations", and "empricial data set" sections of the associated journal article.
