BioLake bioclimatic variables based on ERA5-Land lake temperature estimates 1991-2020

These BioLake raster data provide global estimates (~10.0 x 12.4 km resolution) of twelve bioclimatic variables based on estimated lake temperature. Eleven of these twelve variables (BioLake01 - BioLake11) are estimated for each of three lake strata: lake mix (surface) layer, lake bottom, and total lake water column. These eleven variables correspond to CHELSA (Climatologies at high resolution for the earth's land surface areas) bioclimatic variables BIO1 - BIO11, except that these BioLake variables are based on lake water temperature and CHELSA BIO1 - BIO11 variables are based on air temperature. CHELSA BIO is also calculated a finer spatial resolution (~1 x 1 km). The twelfth variable (BioLake20; months with non-zero ice cover) does not correspond to any CHELSA  bioclimatic variable. The data are supplied as a multi-layer raster (.grd) file  in the World Mollweide projection, accompanied by a header file (.gri) with layer names.

Arizona Pronghorn Big Lake Winter Range

The Big Lake pronghorn herd resides in the White Mountains of eastern Arizona within Game Management Unit 1. Mid-March, the Big Lake pronghorn migrate, crossing the Little Colorado River approximately four miles north of River Reservoir, to their high-elevation summer range. The summer range consists primarily of high-elevation grasslands and large alpine meadows near Big Lake. Some individuals continue several miles farther south to summer near Middle Mountain. Fall migration occurs in early to mid-October, when the herd moves north to low-elevation grassland habitats west of Eagar, Arizona. The primary threat to this migration corridor is State Route 260, which experiences high traffic volume and requires crossing for pronghorn to access seasonal ranges. 
These mapping layers show the location of the winter ranges for pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) in the Big Lake population in Arizona. They were developed from 14 migration sequences collected from a sample size of 8 animals comprising GPS locations collected every 2-4 hours.

Data from two tracer investigations in the Snake Creek drainage, Great Basin National Park, White Pine County, Nevada

This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) data release consists of data from two tracer investigations in the Snake Creek drainage of Great Basin National Park, White Pine County, Nevada. The first investigation, occurring from April to September 2019, involved injecting a fluorescein dye tracer below a diversion point in Snake Creek and monitoring 13 sites in the Snake Creek and neighboring Big Wash drainages for presence of the dye. The results of the first investigation were used to select a targeted monitoring location for a second, quantitative investigation. The second investigation, occurring from September 2020 to March 2021, involved injecting two tracers, sodium bromide and fluorescein dye, below the same diversion point and monitoring the quantity of tracer in discharge measured at Spring Creek Spring (USGS site 385433114063901). 
The data release includes three tables in Tab Separated Values (TSV) format:
1) Fluorescein_2019Reconnaissance.tsv - Dye recovery classifications at 13 sites during a reconnaissance dye tracer investigation in the Snake Creek and Big Wash drainages of Great Basin National Park, White Pine County, Nevada, April to September 2019.
2) Bromide_SpringCreekSpring.tsv - Bromide recovery concentrations observed in Spring Creek Spring (USGS site 385433114063901) discharge during a quantitative dual-tracer investigation in the Snake Creek drainage of Great Basin National Park, White Pine County, Nevada, October 2020 to March 2021.
3) Fluorescein_SpringCreekSpring.tsv - Fluorescein recovery concentrations observed in Spring Creek Spring (USGS site 385433114063901) discharge during a quantitative dual-tracer investigation in the Snake Creek drainage of Great Basin National Park, White Pine County, Nevada, September 2020 to February 2021.

GIS Features Used With Hydrologic Simulations for the Conterminous United States for Historical and Future Conditions Using the National Hydrologic Model Infrastructure (NHM) and the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5), 1950 - 2100

The continental United States (CONUS) was modeled to produce simulations of historical and potential future streamflow using the Precipitation-Runoff Modeling System (PRMS) application of the USGS National Hydrologic Model infrastructure (NHM; Regan and others, 2018). This child page specifically contains the spatial model features (hydrologic response units [HRU_subset.zip] and stream segments [Segments_subset.zip]) on which model inputs and outputs are based. The assembly of model-ready files results in HRU and segment IDs that are different than those in the NHM database. Two "crosswalk files" (nhm_hru_id_crosswalk.csv, nhm_segment_id_crosswalk.csv) are provided so that the model inputs and outputs can be mapped to the NHM database IDs in the GIS files.
