Locations of Sea-Floor Photographs Acquired During U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Cruises 2009-059-FA and 2010-010-FA Off the Entrance to the Connecticut River in Eastern Long Island Sound (H12013_BOTPHOTOS.SHP, Geographic, WGS84)

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (CT DEEP), is producing detailed geologic maps of the coastal sea floor. Bathymetry and sidescan-sonar imagery, originally collected by NOAA for charting purposes, provide a fundamental framework for research and management activities in Long Island Sound, shows the composition and terrain of the seabed, and provides information on sediment transport and benthic habitat. During April-May 2009 NOAA completed hydrographic survey H12013 offshore of the entrance to the Connecticut River, and during November 2009 and April 2010 bottom photographs and surficial sediment data were acquired as part of two ground-truth reconnaissance surveys of this area. Two interpretive data layers were derived from the multibeam echo-sounder and the ground-truth data used to verify them. For more information on the ground-truth surveys see: http://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/operations/ia/public_ds_info.php?fa=2009-059-FA and http://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/operations/ia/public_ds_info.php?fa=2010-010-FA

Available Water Capacity for the Upper Colorado River Basin in Daymet Climate Data resolution (awc_UCRB_Daymet_resolution.txt)

awc_UCRB_Daymet_resolution.txt is an Esri ASCII grid representing the available
water capacity (AWC) for the Upper Colorado River Basin.  AWC (available water capacity) is the amount of water that a soil can hold, and is between a soil’s field capacity and the wilting point. In Soil-Water Balance (SWB) model recharge simulations, AWC is multiplied by root zone depth to define the maximum water capacity of a cell, and any soil-moisture exceeding this amount is converted to recharge.

Reference springs in California for the regional ground-water potential map by Bedinger and Harrill (2004), Death Valley regional ground-water flow system, Nevada and California

This digital geospatial data set is a compilation of reference points representing springs in California 
that were used for the regional ground-water potential map by Bedinger and Harrill (2004).  The regional 
ground-water potential map was developed to assess potential interbasin flow in the Death Valley 
regional ground-water flow system (DVRFS), a 100,000-square-kilometer region of southern Nevada 
and California. To obtain an adequate network of control points, Bedinger and Harrill (2004) used 
regional potential altitudes derived from surface-water features, ground-water levels, topographic 
settings and deep wells in addition to the spring data. A set of general guidelines was developed to 
relate regional ground-water potential to these more readily observed surface and near-surface 
ground-water levels and to hydrologic characteristics of ground-water basins in the DVRFS (see "Larger 
Work Citation", Appendix 1).

Point shapefile of probability of shoreline change along the U.S. Atlantic Coast (ProbSLC_AtlanticData.shp)

During the 21st century, sea-level rise will have a wide range of effects on coastal environments, human development and infrastructure in coastal areas. Consequently there is a need to develop modeling or other analytical approaches that can be used to evaluate potential impacts to inform coastal management. This shapefile provides the data that were used to develop and evaluate the performance of a Bayesian network (BN) that was developed to predict long-term shoreline change associated with sea-level rise. The data consist of information compiled as part of the U.S. Geological Survey Coastal Vulnerability Index for the U.S. Atlantic coast. In this work, the Bayesian network is used to define relationships between driving forces, geologic constraints, and coastal response which are represented by observations of local rates of relative sea-level rise, wave height, tide range, geomorphic classification, coastal slope, and shoreline change rate. Using this information, the BN is used to make probabilistic predictions of shoreline retreat in response to different future sea-level rise rates.

Mean annual runoff, precipitation, and evapotranspiration in the glaciated northeastern United States, 1951-80

Two maps, compiled at 1:1,000,000 scale, depict mean annual runoff,
precipitation, and evapotranspiration in the part of the United
States east of Cleveland, Ohio and north of the southern limit of
glaciation.  The maps are mutually consistent in that runoff equals
precipitation minus evapotranspiration everywhere.  The runoff map
is based on records of streamflow from 503 watersheds in the United
States and southernmost Canada, adjusted to represent 1951-80 and
supplemented by records of precipitation at 459 stations.
Precipitation at each station was partitioned into point estimates
of runoff and evapotranspiration, which were constrained such that
the evapotranspiration estimates varied smoothly across the region
and decreased with increasing latitude and altitude, and the runoff
estimates were consistent with measured runoff from nearby
watersheds.  A point estimate of runoff was allowed to equal mean
runoff in a nearby watershed, or to be somewhat higher
(or lower) if a compensating departure from mean watershed runoff
could be inferred in distant parts of the watershed on the basis of
altitude or regional trends.  Then, precipitation contours were
drawn to parallel runoff contours but differ from them by the
magnitude of nearby estimates of evapotranspiration.  These maps may
slightly underrepresent mean precipitation and evapotranspiration
in areas of high relief because most precipitation stations in such
areas are in valleys.
These 3 coverages were used to produce Open-File Report 96-395.

Comma-Separated Value files of the raw sound velocity profiles collected by the U.S. Geological Survey off the southern shore of Martha's Vineyard, MA, 2007 (CSV Files)

The USGS Woods Hole Science Center conducted a nearshore geophysical survey offshore of the southern coast of Martha's Vineyard, in the vicinity of the Martha's Vineyard Coastal Observatory (MVCO) in August 2007.  This mapping program was part of a larger research effort supporting the Office of Naval Research (ONR) Ripples Directed-Research Initiative (DRI) studies at MVCO by providing data collection and modeling.  The geophysical data will be used to provide initial conditions for wave and circulation models for the study area.  Ultimately, geophysical mapping, oceanographic measurements and modeling will help to improve our understanding of coastal sediment-transport processes.
The geophysical mapping utilized a suite of high-resolution instrumentation to map the surficial sediment distribution, depth and sub-surface geology: dual-frequency 100/500 KHz sidescan-sonar system, 234-KHz interferometric sonar, and 500 Hz -12 KHz chirp sub-bottom profiler. The survey was conducted aboard the M/V Megan Miller August 9-13, 2007. The study area covers 35 square kilometers from about 0.2 km to 5-km offshore of the south shore of Martha's Vineyard, and ranges in depth from ~ 5 to 20 meters.

RES2DINV Format Continuous Resistivity Profiles Collected in the Neuse River, May 5, 2005

The Neuse River Estuary in North Carolina is a broad, V-shaped water body located on the southwestern end of Pamlico Sound. This estuary suffers from severe eutrophication for which several water quality models have recently been developed to aid in the management of nutrient loading to the estuary. In an effort to help constrain model estimates of the fraction of nutrients delivered by direct ground-water discharge, continuous resistivity profile (CRP) measurements were made during the spring of 2004 and 2005. CRP is used to measure electrical resistivity of sediments, a property that is sensitive to difference in salinity of submarine ground water. The 2004 and 2005 surveys used floating resistivity streamers of 100 m and 50 m respectively. The depth penetration of the streamers is approximately 20% of the streamer length which translates to approximately 20-25 m with the 100 m streamer and 12-14 m with the 50 m streamer. These data were processed using AGI's EarthImager 2D software. CRP data enables the mapping of the extent and depth of the fresher ground water within the estuary.

HW2_Q47.TIF - Hawaii II - Central Hawaii U.S. EEZ GLORIA sidescan-sonar data mosaic (18 of 24) (LCC, 50 m, WGS84)

In 1984, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Office of Marine Geology, launched a program using the Geological LOng-Range Inclined Asdic (GLORIA) sidescan-sonar system to study the entire U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). From 1988 through 1991, the USGS and IOS (Institute of Oceanographic Sciences, U.K.) scientists conducted several surveys within the U.S. EEZ off Hawaii. Nine surveys during that time period focused on the central Hawaii region. The results of these surveys were 24 digital mosaics of approximately a 2 degree by 2 degree area with a 50-meter pixel resolution.

LANDFIRE Remap 2016 Public Model Ready Events HI

The LANDFIRE (LF) Remap Public Model Ready Events feature class is a compilation of natural disturbance and vegetation/fuel treatment events that occurred between 1999 and 2016. The Public Model Ready Events feature class includes a subset of the full suite of data that were used in the production of LANDFIRE 2008 Refresh (LF 1.1.0), LANDFIRE 2010 (LF 1.2.0), LANDFIRE 2012 (LF 1.3.0), LANDFIRE 2014 (LF 1.4.0), and LANDFIRE Remap (LF 2.0.0) program deliverables. According to agreements between LANDFIRE and its data contributors, certain proprietary or otherwise sensitive data were removed to create this publicly available version. For more information about the data sources included and excluded from this release, please consult the Source_Code look up table found at: http://www.landfire.gov/publicevents.php. The data were collected from disparate sources including federal, state, and local, and private organizations, and systematically converted to the standard LANDFIRE Events format. The data in the Public Model Ready Events feature class were analyzed to eliminate geospatial or information content errors. The Public Model Ready Events feature class was reduced to only one unique event per year per location. In order to produce the Model Ready layer, a series of topologies were created with the Raw Events data to identify areas of overlap between polygons within the same year. The topology errors were corrected using a standard hierarchy of LANDFIRE Event types, which were organized so the events with the greatest impact on vegetation and/or fuels composition and structure were ranked highest. To correct topology errors, polygons with lower ranked events were merged into polygons with higher ranked events where they overlapped. When there were multiple perimeters for the same event one perimeter was chosen. The selected perimeter was not necessarily from a public data set so the Public Model Ready Events feature class may be missing information on events that appear in the Public Raw Events feature class. The result is a layer which contains only one event per year for a location. Reforestation (seeding and planting) events were analyzed further to remove all but the most recent event at each location. Point derived polygons and polygons less than 0.02 acres in size were removed.
