Geospatial Bathymetry Dataset and elevation-area-capacity table for Morris Lake (Newton Reservoir), New Jersey, 2018

Morris Lake, also known as Newton Reservoir, has been the source of drinking water for the Town of Newton, New Jersey, since the early 1900s. Although Morris Lake has been used as a source of drinking water for many years, its capacity was previously unknown. In April 2018, the U.S. Geological Survey and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection conducted a bathymetric survey of Morris Lake using a multibeam echosounder to map the reservoir. The points measured with the multibeam echosounder were combined with lidar data above the water surface and processed to create a 3.3-foot (1 meter) raster grid of the bathymetric surface, bathymetric contours at 2-foot intervals of depth and elevation, and an elevation-area-capacity table. The results of the bathymetric survey show that Morris Lake has a maximum depth of just over 119 feet with an average depth of 42 feet. Parts of the reservoir, like the surrounding topography, are extremely steep. The capacity of the reservoir at full spillway level is 1,980 million gallons, with a corresponding surface area of 145 acres. The accuracy of the mapped multibeam echosounder bathymetric data was evaluated using a quality assurance dataset collected with a single-beam echosounder: 9,386 quality assurance points were spatially joined with the mapped raster surface to compute measurement errors. The calculated median point error for Morris Lake was 0.23 feet, the median absolute error was 0.35 feet, and the 95-percent accuracy was 2.68 feet. The largest errors occurred in the steepest areas of the reservoir and in unmeasured areas.

Northern spotted owl data and analysis code, Cascade Range, Pacific Northwest, USA

These data were compiled to allow examination of northern spotted owl territorial occupancy dynamics, especially with regards to the roles played by habitat and competition with barred owl in past and future dynamics. Data are estimates of parameters derived from previous modelling of northern spotted owl territorial occupancy dynamics. These data were collected as part of monitoring of northern spotted owl demography. Associated code allows analysis of these estimates to understand the roles of competition and habitat in recent northern spotted owl declines and to predict the future of northern spotted owl under various management scenarios.

Hourly wave height and period hindcasts at 32 sites throughout the Channel Islands National Park and San Nicolas Island from 2000-2017

California’s Coastal Data Information Program (CDIP) has a hind cast feature that allows one to model hourly height and period at known locations back to 2000.  Fitting these hindcasts to observed height and periods indicates that the hindcasts have consistent biases that can be corrected for statistically.  Past work generated bias corrections for 32 sites in the Channel Islands.  We use these bias corrections to correct hourly height and period hindcasts at these sites from 2000 2017. Data columns include Data columns (total 24 columns):
year_utc, month_utc, day_utc, hour_utc, cdip_Hs_m, cdip_Tp_sec, cdip_Dp_degTrue, adjusted_cdip_Hs_m, mean_sensor_pressure_dbar, Transect_depth_m, ubr_Sensor, Tbr_sensor, wave_energy, date, juliand, season, wyr, waveyr, season_yr, Hs_corrected, Tp_corrected, ubr_corrected, Tbr_corrected, wave_energy_corrected.

Waterborne Resistivity Inverted Models, Mississippi Alluvial Plain, 2016-2018

This data release consists of two .csv files of inverted models of electrical resistivity created from the processed resistivity data in the accompanying two data releases: (Miller and Others, 2018) and (2018 Raw and Processed, in progress). During 2016, 17, and 18, the U.S. Geological Survey conducted continuous resistivity profiling along 15 rivers or lakes in the Mississippi Alluvial Plain of Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Missouri to characterize streambed hydraulic conductivity values. These techniques characterize the near surface geomorphology of the streambed that controls the recharge to the alluvial aquifer. These data can be used to map changes in the lithology of the streambed and identify areas of groundwater-surface water interaction. A total of 2,017 kilometers (km) of continuous resistivity profiles were collected. Individual lengths of surveyed profiles per river include: 203 km on the Yazoo River, 197 km on the Floodway, 270 km on the Sunflower River, 317 km on the Black River, 83 km on the Bogue Phalia, 116 km on the Tallahatchie River, 95 km on the Quiver River, 37 km on the Yalobusha River, 448 km on the White River, 75 km on the Cache River, 42 km on the St. Francis River, 80 km on Eutah Bend, 25 km on Roebuck Lake, 9 km on Sky Lake, and 20 km on a U.S. Department of Agriculture On Farm Storage reservoir. Two data sets are presented in this data release: MAP_CRP_2016_2018_INV_MDLS_FULL.csv contains the entire 15-layer model output from the inversion software and MAP_CRP_2016_2018_INV_MDLS_DOI.csv is a dataset that has been created for studying groundwater-surface water interaction. The data have been post-processed after inversion to accurately reflect the depth of investigation of the instrument and to remove known modeling artifacts. Additionally, the water column, “RHO_DOI_1”, has been removed so only data below the bottom of the streambed is represented.

Biological soil crust cover from the Taylor Grazing Act Exclosures

Seven exclosures that were part of the original 28 Taylor Grazing Act exclosures across northern Nevada were surveyed for cover of biological soil crusts in May 2018. Surveys consisted of 15 quadrats both inside and outside of the exclosures. Quadrats were used to measure biocrust cover via point-intercept at 39 vertices within each quadrat. Cattle grazing outside of the exclosures was characterized by distance from the closest water source as well as permitted, suspended and active Animal Unit Months from the Rangeland Administration System. Abundance of cyanobacteria in the soils was assessed with the moistened soil method.

High-Resolution Aeromagnetic Survey of Mono Basin and Long Valley, California

A detailed aeromagnetic survey of Mono Basin and Long Valley, California was flown by EON Geosciences Inc. from October 25th to November 11th, 2012. The high-resolution helicopter survey was flown at a flightline spacing of 400 m, a flight-line azimuth of 65 degrees, a nominal flightline elevation above ground of 150 m, and consists of about 6,125 line-kilometers. Tie lines were spaced at a 4-km interval with a flightline azimuth of 155 degrees.  A Scintrex CS-3 cesium magnetometer was used throughout the airborne survey and a GEM Systems GSM-19 magnetometer was used as a base station magnetometer located near the Mammoth Lake Yosemite airport. Data were processed by the contractor and include corrections for diurnal variations of the Earth's magnetic field, magnetic field of the helicopter, tie-line leveled, micro-leveled, and an International Geomagnetic Reference of the Earth for the time of the survey. Data presented include: survey report, ASCII database, a data dictionary, and a grid of residual magnetic intensity in nanoteslas (nT). Aeromagnetic maps derived from the survey were used and published by Peacock and others (2015).

Analysis of drought sensitivity in the Pacific Northwest (Washington, Oregon, and Idaho) from 2000 through 2016

This data release includes data-processing scripts, data products, and associated metadata for a remote-sensing based approach to characterize vegetation sensitivity to droughts from 2000 through 2016 in the U.S. states of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. Drought sensitivity analysis was conducted in minimally-disturbed (‘intact’) forest and shrub-steppe ecosystems, defined as 1-km pixels (i.e., grid cells) that had not experienced major recent insect mortality or fire. Drought conditions were assessed using the multi-scalar standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI), for which positive values indicate wetter that average conditions and negative values indicate drier than average conditions for a given site (Vicente-Serrano and others, 2010). A multi-scalar drought sensitivity index (S’) was developed for two drought intensity levels (L): moderate drought (-1.5 &lt; SPEI ≤ -1) and severe drought (SPEI ≤ -1.5). Vegetation response to droughts was quantified using remotely sensed Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) from the Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) for summer months (June, July, and August) from 2000 through 2016. EVI is a vegetation index calculated from the blue, red, and near-infrared spectral bands representing atmospherically corrected surface reflectance and has advantages over other similar indices in its abilities to represent areas of dense vegetation (Huete and others, 2002). For each pixel, S’ represents the percent decrease in EVI under drought conditions relative to baseline (non-drought, non-pluvial) conditions. Relationships between S’ and a variety of landscape characteristics representing climatic water balance, topography, soil characteristics, and shallow groundwater availability were examined using Boosted Regression Tree (BRT) modeling, a machine-learning algorithm. For detailed descriptions of data-release components, including analysis methods and modeling, please consult the appropriate metadata documents that accompany the processing scripts and data products.

Input and output shapefiles used in the 2018 hydraulic modeling for the Clear Fork Mohican River and Cedar Fork in Richland County, Ohio.

Digital flood-inundation maps for an 18.6-mile (mi) reach of the Clear Fork Mohican River (that extends approximately from 100 feet upstream from Gass Road near Lexington, Ohio to 700 feet downstream from Benedict Road in Butler , Ohio) and for a 5.9-mile (mi) reach of Cedar Fork (that extends from its confluence with Clear Fork Mohican River to Wirick Road/Richland County Line) were created by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District as part of a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Study (FIS). The flood-inundation maps show estimates of the areal extent corresponding to the 1% and 0.2% annual-exceedance probability floods. Flood profiles were computed for the stream reaches by means of the one-dimensional step-backwater model HEC–RAS.  The Clear Fork Mohican River model was calibrated by using the current stage-discharge relation at the U.S. Geological Survey streamgage on Clear Fork Mohican River at Bellville, Ohio (station number 03131982). Also included are shapefiles of the streams centerlines, base-flood elevations, regulatory floodways, and base topography.

Floodplain boundaries for flood-inundation maps in and near Bellville, Ohio.

Digital flood-inundation maps for an approximate 2.5-mile (mi) reach of the Clear Fork Mohican River that extends approximately from State Route 97 to the downstream corporate boundary for Bellville, Ohio, were created by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District. The flood-inundation maps show estimates of the areal extent and depth of flooding corresponding to selected water levels (stages) at the USGS streamgage on the Clear Fork Mohican River at Bellville (station number 03131982). The maps can be accessed through the USGS Flood Inundation Mapping Science Web site at http://water.usgs.gov/osw/flood_inundation/.   Near-real-time stages at this streamgage can be obtained from the USGS National Water Information System at http://waterdata.usgs.gov/oh/nwis/uv/?site_no=03131982 or the National Weather Service (NWS) Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service (AHPS) at http://water.weather.gov/ahps2/hydrograph.php?wfo=cle&amp;gage=bleo1, which also forecasts flood hydrographs at this site.
Flood profiles were computed for the stream reach by means of the one-dimensional step-backwater model HEC–RAS.  The model was calibrated by using the current stage-discharge relation at the streamgage Clear Fork Mohican River at Bellville, Ohio.
The step-backwater model was used to determine 9 flood profiles for flood stages ranging from 9 to 17 feet (ft). The National Weather Service defines the “Major Flood Stage” for this gage as 15.5 ft. The flood profiles were then used in combination with a digital elevation model (DEM), derived from light detection and ranging (lidar) data having a 1.0-ft vertical accuracy and 1.0-ft horizontal resolution, to delineate the area flooded at each stage.
The availability of these maps, along with Internet information regarding current stage from the USGS streamgage and forecasted high-flow stages from the NWS, will provide emergency management personnel and residents with information that is critical for flood response activities such as evacuations and road closures, as well as for postflood recovery efforts.

Major- and Trace-Element Chemical Analyses of Rocks from the Northern Harrat Rahat Volcanic Field and Surrounding Area, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

This dataset includes X-ray fluorescence (XRF) major-oxide and trace-elements analysis and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) trace-element analysis of Cenozoic, mainly Quaternary, basalts, hawaiites, mugearites, benmoreites, and trachytes from the northern third of the Harrat Rahat volcanic field and surrounding area in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. These samples were collected and analyzed to support geologic mapping of the volcanic field and reconstruction of its volcanic history as part of a collaborative project between the Saudi Geological Survey (SGS) and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), supported by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Chemical analyses were performed at the GeoAnalytical Laboratory of Washington State University in Pullman, Washington, USA under contract with the USGS. Secondary minerals consisting mainly of zeolites, sulfates, and carbonates are present in pores in many of the collected rocks, and their abundances were reduced or eliminated prior to chemical analysis by hand-picking, followed by soaking rock chips in hot deionized water, and then extended ultrasonication in deionized water. Chemical compositions were further screened to exclude samples with original analytical totals of less than 94 weight percent, yielding a total of 691 samples with acceptable analyses presented in this data release, along with their sample names (called "Stations"), locations as easting and northing (in WGS1984 UTM Zone 37N), stratigraphic abbreviations (called "StratCode") defined in an associated geologic map, XRF and ICP-MS analyses, and other published references.

Hawaii Island Regeneration of Metrosideros polymorpha forests since landscape-level canopy dieback in the 1970s

We analyzed very-high-resolution imagery to assess status of Metrosideros polymorpha forests across an 83,603-hectare study area that experienced extensive canopy dieback in the 1970s on the eastern side of the island of Hawaii. Using GIS we generated 1,170 virtual vegetation plots with a 100-m radius; 541 plots in areas mapped in 1977 with trees dead or mostly defoliated (dieback), and 629 plots in adjacent wet forest habitat, previously mapped as non-dieback condition. In each plot we estimated the percent of M. polymorpha trees dead or mostly defoliated, and percent of trees with healthy crowns. These results were combined with habitat data to produce a spatial model depicting probability of canopy dieback within the study area.
Seventy-nine percent of plots mapped in 1977 in dieback condition recovered their canopy and were now considered in non-dieback condition. Ninety-one percent of plots in previous non-dieback areas were found to still have a healthy M. polymorpha canopy in 2015. A spatial model allowed us to identify areas within the study area with high, medium, and low probability of experiencing this same type of canopy dieback in the future.
This data release package includes two GIS shapefiles and four tabular files that were part of the analysis for this study.
