Russian River Integrated Hydrologic Model (RRIHM):Daily Precipitation Data from 1990-2015

The Russian River Watershed (RRW) covers about 1,300 square miles (without Santa Rosa Plain) of urban, agricultural, and forested lands in northern Sonoma County and southern Mendocino County, California. Communities in the RRW depend on a combination of Russian River water and groundwater to meet their water-supply demands. Water is used primarily for agricultural irrigation, municipal and private wells supply, and commercial uses - such as for wineries and recreation. Annual rainfall in the RRW is highly variable, making it prone to droughts and flooding from atmospheric river events. In order to better understand surface-water and groundwater issues, the USGS is creating a Coupled Ground-Water and Surface-Water Flow Model (GSFLOW; Markstrom and others, 2008) of the RRW. This model will include climate, geology, surface-water, groundwater, and land-use data.
These data are daily precipitation data from 15 stations in the Russian River watershed for 1990-2015. There is one station for each of the 15 zones in the Russian River Integrated Hydrologic Model (RRIHM).

High resolution water quality and dissolved carbon data from a coastal Louisiana salt marsh from 2019 to 2022

Continuous water quality sensor data were collected at USGS 292939089544400 Wilkinson Bayou cutoff north of Wilkinson Bay, LA gage. Field water-quality measurements were collected using a YSI EXO2 water-quality sonde equipped with a data logger to capture hourly data using sensors for measuring water temperature, specific conductance, salinity, pH, oxidation and reduction potential (ORP), fluorescent dissolved organic matter (fDOM), and turbidity. The monitor was housed in an 8-inch diameter polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe attached to a temporary wooden structure near the gage. Measurements were collected from a fixed mid-depth point in the water column. All data were collected using U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) protocols and data are stored in the National Water Information System (NWIS) database. Records processing of measurement results for fouling and drift corrections of the data followed the USGS Techniques and Methods for continuous water-quality monitors (Wagner, et al., 2006), except for ORP and drift corrections for fDOM. ORP were uncorrected and were reported from the sonde directly. fDOM was evaluated for drift using periodic side by side comparisons with a new factory calibrated sensor to check for lamp degradation in the sensor and calibration checks were performed using onsite prepared fDOM standard. fDOM data have not been corrected for temperature, turbidity, or inner-filter effects (Booth et al., 2023). Turbidity drift corrections were applied using Wagner et al. (2006) except in some cases where it was determined not helpful to apply the correction based on unstable site conditions during the site visit. Sample results from July of 2019 to May 2022 are reported in this data release.

The database for the isopach map of the Brightseat Formation and structure contour map of the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary, in Maryland and Virginia

The goal of the Atlantic Subsurface Stratigraphic Initiative (ASSI) is to create isopach and structural contour maps for all Coastal Plain formations within the Salisbury Embayment of Maryland and Virginia. Detailed information regarding thicknesses and extent of formations across state boundaries can then be utilized for more accurate documentation of the subaerial extent of aquifers across states. In support of this goal, lower Paleogene sediment elevation and thickness information from approximately 600+ data points from wells, cores, outcrops, and geologic maps were obtained from published and unpublished resources. Analyses started with production of a structure contour map of the unconformable contact of the Danian Brightseat Formation with underlying Cretaceous sediments, which represents the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary in the Embayment. In addition, an isopach map of the Brightseat was produced using the Natural Neighbors interpolator in ArcGIS, creating a raster grid file that was symbolized every five feet. Results indicate a central depocenter with a thickness of 95 feet within Maryland with smaller thicknesses of the Brightseat surrounding. Although Danian sediments in southeastern Virginia were removed by the Chesapeake Bay impact event, up to 30 ft of possible Brightseat Formation has been identified from core and well data in southernmost Virginia.

Digital database of the previously published geologic map of the O'Neill 1x2 degree quadrangle, Nebraska

This digital data release contains geospatial data for the geologic map of the O’Neill 1 degree by 2 degree geologic map in Nebraska, originally published in 2008 by R.E. Diffendal and others. The original map consists of a 1:250,000 scale map plate with a “stack unit” structure showing multiple overlying units, as well as several roughly 1:750,000 scale maps in an accompanying pamphlet showing bedrock geology and structure contours. To capture as much of this content as possible in a geodatabase, three “layers” are included in this database: 1) Overlay polygons showing Quaternary loess deposits (Qes) where they overlay older Quaternary units; 2) a layer (consisting of line and polygon feature classes) showing Quaternary and bedrock units as depicted on the published 1:250,000 scale map (with the exception of Qes as described above), 3) a “bedrock” layer (consisting of line and polygon feature classes), showing pre-Quaternary units. Vector data were created by a combination of exporting vectors from published PDF files and hand digitizing against georegistered images of the published map and associated pamphlet figures. Required fields and non-spatial tables were populated with data from the printed map and pamphlet. The spatial data are accompanied by non-spatial tables that describe the sources of geologic information, a description of geologic map units, a glossary of terms, and a Data Dictionary that duplicates the Entity and Attribute information contained in the metadata file.

Airborne Thermal Infrared and High-resolution True-color Imagery and Longitudinal Profiles of Stream Temperatures, Upper Donner und Blitzen River Basin, Oregon, August 2020

This dataset includes georeferenced, high-resolution, airborne thermal infrared (TIR) and high-resolution true-color imagery, a polyline shapefile of the channel centerline, a polyline shapefile with TIR sample points for longitudinal stream temperature profiles, and a tabular file with longitudinal stream temperature profiles for the Donner und Blitzen River and its tributaries, Oregon. The aerial TIR surveys were conducted with a helicopter by NV5 Geospatial and are published as 17 raster mosaics in GeoTiff format with a resolution of 0.3 meters (m). The TIR mosaics contain corrected surface temperatures in degrees Celsius (C) (multiplied by 10 to create an unsigned integer pixel type). The longitudinal stream temperature profiles have temperatures in degrees C. The TIR dataset encompasses 159 kilometers (km) of the Donner und Blitzen River and its tributaries that extends from near Frenchglen, Oregon into the basin headwaters on Steens Mountain. The TIR surveys were collected during the afternoons (13:00-17:00) of August 13, 14, and 15, 2020. The TIR surveys were calibrated using continuous temperature loggers deployed at 29 in-stream locations distributed longitudinally throughout the survey area. The true-color imagery is published as a single raster mosaic of the entire surveyed upper Donner und Blitzen River basin stream network with a resolution of 0.1 m. Channel centerlines were manually digitized within a geographic information system. Stream temperatures for longitudinal profiles were sampled using both automated and manual methods along the channel centerline from the TIR imagery. The stream temperatures were plotted versus channel distances upstream along the Donner und Blitzen River, starting from the bridge over the river near Page Springs Campground to create longitudinal stream temperature profiles, which may be used to interpret groundwater discharge patterns and to identify potential cold-water refuges.

TDS concentration and load time series for Lower Colorado River Basin tributaries of the Colorado River from WRTDS modeling, 1938 to 2021

Total dissolved solids (TDS) in surface waters affect water quality and useability and are of particular concern in the Colorado River Basin. Estimates of current and past TDS concentration and flux in rivers support appropriate management and salinity control measures. In this study we estimated the total dissolved solid concentration and flux at 11 sites on tributaries of the Colorado River, starting as early as 1938 until 2021. Of these sites, eight were not affected by dams. For these we estimated daily and water year flow normalized TDS concentration and flux using the Weighted Regressions on Time Discharge and Season (WRTDS) water quality modeling framework. For the three sites situated below dams, we used flow-weighted concentrations to estimate water year mean TDS concentrations. Along with these estimates, we include information about the timing of construction, and capacity of dams in the Lower Colorado River Basin.
