CoSMoS (Coastal Storm Modeling System) Southern California v3.0 Phase 2 water-level projections: 1-year storm in Orange County

Model-derived total water levels (in meters) for the given storm condition and sea-level rise (SLR) scenario.
The Coastal Storm Modeling System (CoSMoS) makes detailed predictions (meter-scale) over large geographic scales (100s of kilometers) of storm-induced coastal flooding and erosion for both current and future sea-level rise (SLR) scenarios. CoSMoS v3.0 for Southern California shows projections for future climate scenarios (sea-level rise and storms) to provide emergency responders and coastal planners with critical storm-hazards information that can be used to increase public safety, mitigate physical damages, and more effectively manage and allocate resources within complex coastal settings.
Model details and data sources are outlined in CoSMoS_3.0_Phase_2_Southern_California_Bight:_Summary_of_data_and_methods (available at https://www.sciencebase.gov/catalog/file/get/57f1d4f3e4b0bc0bebfee139?name=CoSMoS_SoCalv3_Phase2_summary_of_methods.pdf). Phase 2 data for Southern California include flood-hazard information for the coast from the border of Mexico to Pt. Conception. Several changes from Phase 1 projections are reflected in many areas; please read the Summary of methods and inspect output carefully.  Data are complete for the information presented.

Condition of Surgical Acoustic Tag Incisions in Recaptured Lake Erie Walleye (2011-2016)

Intracoelomic implantation of electronic tags has become a common method in fishery research, but rarely are fish examined by scientists after release to understand the extent that surgical incisions have healed. Walleye (Sander vitreus) are a valuable, highly-exploited fishery resource in the Laurentian Great Lakes. Here, fishery capture of walleye with internal acoustic transmitters combined with a high reward program provided multiple opportunities to examine photographs and quantify the status of surgical incisions. Walleye (n=926) from reef and river spawning populations in Lake Erie and Lake Huron were implanted with acoustic transmitters during spring spawning events from 2011 to 2016. Incisions were closed with polydioxanone monofilament using two to three interrupted sutures. Out of 276 recaptured fish, 60 incision sites were clearly visible in photographs, and these were scored by two independent readers for incision closure, inflammation, and presence of sutures.

Bathymetry and Velocity Data from Surveys at Highway Bridges crossing the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers near St. Louis, Missouri, October 2008 through May 2016

These data are high-resolution bathymetry (riverbed elevation) and depth-averaged velocities in ASCII format, generated from hydrographic and velocimetric surveys near highway bridge structures over the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers near St. Louis, Missouri, for dates ranging from 2008 to 2016.  Hydrographic data were collected using a high-resolution multibeam echosounder mapping system (MBMS), which consists of a multibeam echosounder (MBES) and an inertial navigation system (INS) mounted on a marine survey vessel.  Data were collected as the vessel traversed the river along planned survey lines distributed throughout the reach.  Data collection software integrated and stored the depth data from the MBES and the horizontal and vertical position and attitude data of the vessel from the INS in real time.  Data processing required computer software to extract bathymetry data from the raw data files and to summarize and map the information.  Velocity data were collected using an acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) mounted on a survey vessel equipped with a differential global positioning system (DGPS).  Data were collected as the vessel traversed the river along planned transect lines distributed throughout the reach. Velocity data were processed using the Velocity Mapping Toolbox (Parsons and other, 2013), and smoothed using neighboring nodes.

Upper Klamath and Agency Lakes May/June 1996 bathymetric mapping project

Bathymetric data were collected over all boatable areas of Upper Klamath and Agency Lakes, located in South-Central Oregon, in May and June of 1996.  Areas that were too shallow (less than 1.2m) and/or covered with aquatic vegetation were not mapped. A 21ft tunnel-hull boat was fitted with an adjustable transducer mount on the stern.  The transducer was mounted on the starboard side of the prop to minimize prop noise interference.  A global positioning system (GPS) "rover" receiver's antennae mast was mounted directly above the transducer and connected to a Trimble 4000 GPS receiver. Differential correction updates were provided to the Trimble receiver at 1 second intervals from an OmniStar (John Chance Co., Houston, Texas) real-time GPS base station network.  Shoreline data were collected by Klamath Tribes' staff. They drove adjacent to the shoreline in a shallow-draft inflatable boat that was fitted with a GPS data collector. These data were post-processed and shifted to match the boat-to-shoreline distance for specific segments.  Depth data were collected with a Marimatech digital echosounder fitted with a 208khz transducer. The GPS system could not produce vertical positions accurate enough for the project.  Accordingly, bottom surface elevations were determined by subtracting the sounded depth from the water surface elevation.  Water surface elevations were calculated for each line of data collected via distance-weighted averaging of the two closest stage gage readings. Stage gages used for this project were located at Klamath Falls, Rocky Point, Rattlesnake Point, and on the north-central shore of Upper Klamath Lake, just west of the Williamson River confluence. The latter gage was a temporary pressure transducer arrangement installed specifically for this project. A level loop was run from U.S. Bureau of Reclamation control points to establish the datum elevation for this gage.

Estimating downscaled eMODIS NDVI using Landsat 8 in the central Great Basin shrub steppe

The study's goal was to downscale 2013 250-m expedited Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (eMODIS) Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) to 30 m (Gu, Y. and Wylie, B.K., 2015, Developing a 30-m grassland productivity estimation map for central Nebraska using 250-m MODIS and 30-m Landsat-8 observations, Remote Sensing of Environment, v. 171, p. 291-298)using 2013 Landsat 8 data. The eMODIS NDVI was downscaled for four periods: mid spring, early summer, late summer and mid fall. The objective was to capture phenologies during periods that correspond to 1) annual grass growth, 2) annual grass senescence, 3) the optimal NDVI profile separation between sagebrush and other shrubs in the region, and 4) sagebrush leaf off. The study area is defined as the central Great Basin in the western United States. Two tiles (approximating Days 175 and 250 in 2013) of best pixel data from bands 2 through 7 of Landsat 8 were acquired (Nelson, K.J., and Steinwand, D., 2015, A Landsat Data Tiling and Compositing Approach Optimized for Change Detection in the Conterminous United States: Photogrammetric Engineering &amp; Remote Sensing, v. 81, no. 7, p. 573-586.), spatially averaged to 250 m, and used as independent variables to develop regression-tree models that estimated eMODIS NDVI weeks at 250 m. Training points for the mid-spring time period were limited to elevations at or below 7,000 feet (2133 m). Training points for all other time periods were not limited by an elevation threshold. Points above 7, 000 feet made up approximately 2.5% of the training and test datasets. Otherwise, the models were trained on pixels where the 2011 National Land Cover Database classified the pixel as ≥ 70% shrub/scrub, herbaceous, or bare ground; these are likely rangelands. Also, if both Landsat images had no data in the same pixel, that pixel was excluded as a training point. Regression-tree models were built with weekly 250-m eMODIS NDVI and spatially averaged 250-m Landsat data. The model rules and algorithms, along with the original 30-m Landsat data, were applied via a mapping application to render 30-m mapped eMODIS NDVI for the four time periods defined above.

Invertebrate Community Metrics from Imidacloprid Mesocosms

To investigate the effects of imidacloprid on natural stream communities under controlled conditions, experimental streams were dosed with imidacloprid at concentrations ranging from 0.061 to 220 micrograms per liter (micrograms/L) for a period of 10 days. Natural stream macroinvertebrate communities were obtained from the Cache La Poudre River (Larimer County, CO) by colonizing trays full of large gravel for 75 days. The trays were added to laboratory experimental streams (mesocosms) at the USGS Fort Collins Science Center in Fort Collins, CO. At the end of 10 days, invertebrate abundance metrics were analyzed in relation to measured imidacloprid concentrations in water from the experimental streams. Declines in total abundance and Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera and Tricoptera taxa abundance were observed in the mesocosm communities at concentrations of 1 micrograms/L and above, and one sensitive species, Baetis tricaudatus, was affected at concentrations as low as 0.060 micrograms/L.

Grasshopper Sparrow (Ammodramus savannarum ammolegus) nest measurements Arizona 2011-2013

Ammodramus savannarum ammolegus (commonly referred to as the Arizona Grasshopper Sparrow) occurs in the desert and plains grasslands of southeastern Arizona, southwestern New Mexico, and northern Sonora, Mexico.  Although a subspecies of conservation concern, this data was produced as part of the first intensive study of its life history and breeding ecology, providing baseline data and facilitating comparisons with other North American Grasshopper Sparrow subspecies.  This study is described in the publication listed in the larger work citation of this metadata record.
In 2011 through 2013, I took nest measurements within a week of nest failure or fledgling.  However, in 2011, the first year of nest monitoring, I measured 17 nests more than 7 days after nest completion.  Measurements included: nest opening, inside diameter, inside depth, nest height, orientation of nest opening, length of tunnel, and nest concealment.

Hydrogen stable isotope data for: 'Mechanisms associated with an advance in the timing of seasonal reproduction in an urban songbird'.

This dataset includes stable hydrogen isotope values of the nonexchangeable hydrogen contained in the outer most secondary feathers of dark-eyed juncos (Junco hyemalis thurberi) collected from the University of California San Diego campus in La Jolla, California in 2014.  Hydrogen isotope values in feathers have become a powerful tool for inferring the breeding grounds of a wide variety of avian species.  In most of these migratory species, feathers are molted prior to departing the breeding grounds for more overwintering regions to the south.  These data were used in tandem with morphological and genetic data for the classification of resident and migrant birds.  There are two files in this dataset: 1) A tab delimitated machine readable file (*.csv) that represents the data dictionary, and 2) a tab delimited machine readable file (*.csv) containing the data.
