Airborne magnetic and radiometric survey, southeastern Illinois, western Kentucky, and southern Indiana, 2019; Radiometric Data

This publication provides digital flight line data for a high-resolution magnetic and radiometric survey over an area of southeast Illinois, western Kentucky, and southern Indiana. The survey includes airborne geophysical data collected as part of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Earth Mapping Resource Initiative (Earth MRI) effort (Day, 2019). Earth MRI is a cooperative effort between the USGS, the Association of American State Geologists, and other Federal, State, and private sector organizations to improve our knowledge of the geologic framework of the United States. Data for this survey were collected by EON Geosciences under contract with the USGS using a fixed wing aircraft with a magnetometer mounted in the tail stinger and a fully calibrated gamma ray spectrometer. The survey operated out of the Paducah, Kentucky airport from October of 2019 to December of 2019. The survey covers a 91-kilometer x 128-kilometer area centered on the igneous complex around Hicks Dome in Hardin County, Illinois. Data were collected along east-west flight lines spaced 200 meters apart with north-south tie lines flown every 3,000 meters. A mean terrain clearance of 116 meters was maintained except where safety dictated a higher elevation. A total of 61,974-line kilometers of data were collected. Files that are available in this publication include flight line data for the magnetic survey, flight line data for the radiometric survey and a report describing the survey parameters, field operations, quality control and data reduction procedures. A zip file is provided that contains the contractor's deliverable products that includes Geosoft databases and grids for the magnetic and radiometric survey and the report describing the survey and data reduction.

EAARL Submerged Topography-U.S. Virgin Islands 2003

A submerged topography elevation map (also known as a Digital Elevation Model, or DEM) of a portion of the U.S. Virgin Islands was produced from remotely sensed, geographically referenced elevation measurements cooperatively by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and National Park Service (NPS). Elevation measurements were collected over the area using the 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 50 meters per second at an elevation of approximately 300 meters. The EAARL, developed by NASA at Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia, measures ground elevation with a vertical resolution of 15 centimeters. A sampling rate of 3 kilohertz or higher results in an extremely dense spatial elevation dataset. Over 100 kilometers of coastline can be easily surveyed within a 3- to 4-hour mission time period. When subsequent elevation maps for an area are analyzed, they provide a useful tool to make management decisions regarding land development.

SSEBop Evapotranspiration Data from 2012 to Present: Dekadal (10-day), Monthly, Seasonal, and Annual Time Scales

On vegetated landscapes, Evapotranspiration (ET) can be simplified as the combination of evaporation from the soil and transpiration from vegetation. 
Actual ET (ETa) is produced using the Operational Simplified Surface Energy Balance (SSEBop) model Version 6 (Senay et al., 2013, 2020, 2023) from 2012 to Present using a data stream from the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) aboard the NASA/NOAA Suomi National Polar-Orbiting Partnership (Suomi NPP) and NOAA-20 satellites. 
The SSEBop model is a thermal-based simplified surface energy model for estimating ETa based on the principles of satellite psychrometry (Senay, 2018). SSEBop Version 6 implementation uses land surface temperature (Ts) from VIIRS with key model parameters (cold/wet-bulb reference, Tc, and surface psychrometric constant, 1/dT) derived from a combination of observed surface temperature, normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), climatological average daily maximum air temperature (Ta, 1-km) from Daymet and CHELSA, and net radiation data from ERA-5. SSEBop Version 6 also uses the Forcing And Normalizing Operation (FANO), a novel parameterization to better estimate ET in all landscapes and all seasons regardless of vegetation cover density, thereby improving model accuracy by avoiding extrapolation of Tc to non-calibration regions (Senay et al., 2023).
Final ETa  is generated as a product of ET fractions generated from remotely sensed VIIRS thermal imagery, summarized every dekad (~10 days) with reference ET generated from weather data fields using the Penman-Monteith Equation (TerraClimate and CSIRO-based datasets). 
ETa data and anomaly products (current vs. 2013 – 2022 median), produced at 1 km resolution, are available at: https://earlywarning.usgs.gov/fews.

Nitrogen, phosphorus, and suspended-sediment loads and trends measured at the Chesapeake Bay River Input Monitoring stations: Water years 1985-2020

Nitrogen, phosphorus, and suspended-sediment loads, and changes in loads, in major rivers across the Chesapeake Bay watershed have been calculated using monitoring data from the Chesapeake Bay River Input Monitoring (RIM) Network stations for the period 1985 through 2020. Nutrient and suspended-sediment loads and changes in loads were determined by applying a weighted regression approach called WRTDS (Weighted Regression on  Time, Discharge, and Season). The load results represent the total mass of nitrogen, phosphorus, and suspended sediment that was exported from each of the RIM watersheds and were estimated using the WRTDS method with Kalman filtering. To determine the trend in loads, the annual load results are flow normalized to integrate out the year-to-year variability in river discharge. The trend in load is derived from the flow-normalized load timeseries and represents the change in load resulting from changes in sources, delays associated with storage or transport of historical inputs, and (or) implemented management actions. Four data tables are provided that describe nitrogen, phosphorus, and suspended-sediment conditions across the RIM: (1) Annual Loads, (2) Monthly Loads, (3) Trends in Annual Loads, and (4) Average Yield (mass per unit area). Additionally, essential WRTDS Input and Output files are provided.

11) Groundwater-level change for Smith Valley and Mason Valley, Nevada, 2007-2020, approach 2

This raster dataset represents groundwater-level change from 2007 to 2020 in Smith Valley and Mason Valley, Nevada, calculated using approach 2. For this approach, depth-to-water measurements from 53 monitoring wells, represented as point values, were differenced between 2006 and 2020. Point values of change were interpolated into a raster to calculate valley-wide groundwater-level change. Groundwater-level change was estimated using two methods (approach 1 and 2) to address groundwater-level measurement uncertainty and constrain groundwater-level change estimates.

Datasets of Suspended Sediment Concentration and Percent Fines (1973–2021), Sampling Information (1973–2021), and Daily Streamflow (1928–2021) for Sites in the Lower Mississippi and Atchafalaya Rivers to Support Analyses of Sediment Transport and Delivery

Datasets of suspended sediment concentration and percent fines, sampling information, and daily streamflow data were compiled and harmonized for 16 sites to better understand sediment transport and delivery in the Lower Mississippi and Atchafalaya Rivers. The compiled data were harmonized by removing unnecessary columns, screening data for laboratory or sampling issues, creating consistent entries for character columns, and dropping irrelevant data, among other steps. Fourteen of the sites are in the Lower Mississippi-Atchafalaya River Basin with two additional sites on the Middle Mississippi and Ohio Rivers. Suspended sediment concentration (total, all size fractions) and percent fines for multiple size fractions were retrieved from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Water Information System (NWIS) database. These data were matched to related sampling information, such as sampler type and sampling method, also retrieved from NWIS. Continuous daily streamflow was compiled (or estimated where missing) for all sites and these data were from NWIS and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). Daily streamflow records extend as far back as possible and contain no gaps, whereas suspended sediment data and sampling information were measured and reported periodically and may contain multiyear gaps depending on the site. Note, siteIndex is used as the main sediment site identifier since sediment records from more than one USGS site are combined for at least one siteIndex. Additionally, gageIndex is used as the main streamgage identifier since streamflow records from multiple streamgages are sometimes combined for a single gageIndex and a single gageIndex may be used for more than one siteIndex. See the siteTable.csv for linkages between siteIndex, gageIndex, and USGS and USACE site/streamgage numbers.

Tsunami evacuation time map for American Samoa 2009 tsunami inundation zone and slow walk speed

The travel time map was generated using the Pedestrian Evacuation Analyst model (version 1.0.1 for ArcGIS 10.5) from the USGS (https://geography.wr.usgs.gov/science/vulnerability/tools.html). The travel time analysis uses ESRI's Path Distance tool to find the shortest distance across a cost surface from any point in the hazard zone to a safe zone. This cost analysis considers the direction of movement and assigns a higher cost to steeper slopes, based on a table contained within the model. The analysis also adds in the energy costs of crossing different types of land cover, assuming that less energy is expended walking along a road than walking across a sandy beach. To produce the time map, the evacuation surface output from the model is grouped into 1-minute increments for easier visualization. The times in the attribute table represent the estimated time to travel on foot to the nearest safe zone at the speed designated in the map title. The file name indicates whether the map is of the recreated tsunami inundation zone for the 2009 Mw 8.1 Samoa earthquake or a probable maximum tsunami (PMT) inundation zone for American Samoa and which travel speed was used in the modelling (slow walk, fast walk, slow run, or fast run). These data, in polygon shapefile format, are intended for use in GIS software applications.
These data support the following publication: Wood, N.J., Jones, J.M., Yamazaki, Y., Cheung, K-F., Brown, J., Jones, J.L., and Abdollahian, N., 2018, Population vulnerability to tsunami hazards informed by previous and projected disasters—a case study of American Samoa: Natural Hazards, 24 p., https://doi.org/10.1007/s11069-018-3493-7.

Positive openness rasters for the Greater Raleigh Area, North Carolina

Rasters of positive openness and positive openness difference in the Greater Raleigh, NC Area based on 1-meter high-resolution lidar-derived digital elevation models (DEMs). This dataset contains positive openness rasters for 2013, 2015, and 2022 and one positive openness difference raster. The positive openness difference raster represents the difference in positive openness values between the years 2015 and 2022. The 2015 and 2022 positive openness rasters were selected for differencing because of the superior quality level (QL2) of base lidar data used to develop the positive openness rasters compared with the poorer quality level (QL3) of base lidar data used to develop the 2013 positive openness raster. Positive openness uses a line-of-sight approach to measure the surrounding sixteen zenith angles viewed above the landscape surface out to a specified distance. The raster cell value represents the average of all sixteen angles. A positive openness value of 90 degrees indicates a flat surface. Positive openness values less than 90 degrees indicate varying degrees of concavity; positive openness values greater than 90 degrees indicate varying degrees of convexity. Positive openness was calculated with the Relief Visualization Toolbox v 2.2.1 (https://www.zrc-sazu.si/en/rvt) with the search radius set to 18 meters (approximately 60 feet). All files are available as Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF, meaning they are formatted to work on the cloud or can be directly downloaded.
