Silver Carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) locations in earthen ponds with overhead structure

Data consists of acoustic telemetry positions for silver carp (345:2 plus or minus 17:5 millimeters total length and 377 plus or minus 64:7 grams weight) tagged with 795-LD transmitters (Innovasea Systems Inc., Boston, MA; formerly Hydroacoustic Technology Inc.) in four earthen ponds (dimensions 40 meters X 25 meters; depth 1-2 meters) at the Columbia Environmental Research Center, Columbia, MO, USA. Positions were monitored from September 7 to October 5, 2018 using a 16 hydrophone array in each pond (Model 290 Acoustic Tag Receiver; Innovasea Systems Inc.; formerly Hydroacoustic Technology Inc.). Silver carp positions were examined for expelled transmitters and excluded from the dataset. A 5-meter square floating platform (aka overhead structure) was placed in one of five possible positions in each pond 24 hours before the beginning of each 48-hour trial for fish acclimation. The overhead structure was moved to a new position and fish allowed to acclimate for each of the seven trials.

Airborne geophysical survey: Fairbanks EM West

Aeromagnetic data were collected along flight lines by instruments in an aircraft that recorded magnetic-field intensity values and location. In surveys such as this one where the data were originally collected in digital form and not digitized from contour maps, the information we provide typically includes latitude, longitude, magnetic anomaly in nanoTeslas, and intermediate values used to derive the magnetic anomaly such as total magnetic field.

Floating Electromagnetic Surveys from the Lower Delaware River Basin

Electromagnetic (EM) geophysical methods provide information about the bulk electrical conductivity of the subsurface. EM data has been widely used to investigate aquifers and geologic structures. In the following study, the United States Geological Survey conducted a boat-towed, waterborne transient electromagnetic (FloaTEM) survey to examine conductivity within the subsurface of the main Delaware River channel and the Leipsic River.  The Leipsic River flows through an estuary into the Delaware Bay. Subsurface conductive zones, when viewed in the context of the regional conceptual model and other data, can help determine the likely groundwater location of the freshwater/saltwater interface within the Delaware River, as well as key hydrogeological layers such as the Lower Potomac-Raritan-Magothy Aquifer within the Northern Atlantic Coastal Plain Aquifer System, and their connectivity with the riverbed.  Permeable aquifers could provide a hydraulic connection between surface water and inland groundwater.  Therefore, changes to river water salinity could have an accelerated impact on water pumped from wells inland that are connected via these permeable aquifers.
The FloaTEM system transmits a primary electrical current through a transmitter loop (Tx) wire. This creates a static primary magnetic field. Then, the current in the TX loop is subsequently turned off, resulting in secondary electrical currents being induced in the earth. These induced electrical currents decay with time, and this rate of decay in the secondary electrical field is a function of the bulk conductivity of the subsurface material. As the secondary electrical field decays, a secondary magnetic field is induced and measured at a receiver (Rx) loop towed behind the Tx loop. The Rx loop measures the decay of the secondary magnetic field as a function of time (dB/dt). Measured dB/dt decay curves can be inverted to recover the depth-dependent resistivity structure of the earth.
FloaTEM surveys were conducted downstream from Wilmington, DE on 8/26/2020 and 8/27/2020. Data from 8/26/2020 were collected around the Augustine Wildlife Area boat ramp, and data on 8/27/2020 were collected near the Collins Landing boat ramp.
FloaTEM surveys were again conducted downstream from Wilmington, DE on 8/25/2021 and 8/26/2021. Data from 8/25/2021 were collected upstream of the 2020 surveys around the Pennsville public boat ramp, while data on 8/26/2021 were collected near the Collins Landing boat ramp and covered a similar area as the 2020 data.
Data collected in 2021 also included a section of the Delaware River further upstream near Philadelphia PA, collected on 8/24/2021 and made use of the Fort Mifflin boat ramp. A final back and forth profile in the Leipsic River within the Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge (estuary) was gathered on 8/27/21, and used the Port Mahon Boat Launch as the starting/ending point.  Surface water specific conductance data were also collected during portions of the surveys.

High-resolution seismic imaging data acquired in 2021 across a trace of the San Andreas Fault at Mee Ranch, Monterey County, California

In April of 2021, the U.S. Geological Survey conducted a high-resolution seismic survey at Mee Ranch in Monterey County, California. Both passive- and active-source seismic data were acquired using DTCC SmartSolo 3-component nodal seismograph systems ("nodes"), which continuously recorded data at rates up to 2000 samples per second. For passive-source acquisition, a 6x5 grid of nodes was deployed for several weeks before and during the active source shooting. For active-source acquisition, 395 nodes were deployed 1 meter apart (2 meters apart near the endpoints) along a southwest-northeast trend to create an approximately 500-m-long linear array. Additional nodes were deployed at 1 or 2 meter spacing along 25- and 50-m-long linear arrays centered about a known section of the fault. P-wave data were generated near each recording station of the main linear array using a Betsy seisgun firing an 8-gauge blank shotgun shell. P-wave data were also generated every 20 stations along the main linear array using approximately one/third pound of buried explosives. Fault-zone-guided-wave data were generated using explosive sources that were placed within a mapped trace of the San Andreas Fault zone and close to the shorter linear arrays. Finally, S-wave data were generated at each station using an aluminum block struck by a sledgehammer. Shot gathers were created in SEG-Y format (Barry et al, 1975) by extracting several seconds of data from each node for each recorded shot time. The passive grid data were converted to gain-corrected miniseed day files (Ahern and Dost, 2012). This report provides the metadata needed to analyze the seismic data.

One-dimensional HEC-RAS water quality simulation inputs and files for the Wallens Bend reach of the Clinch River, near Kyles Ford, Tennessee

This dataset includes the one-dimensional HEC-RAS water quality model simulation input and output files for three simulation discharges at the Wallens Bend reach on the Clinch River near Kyles Ford, Tennessee. Simulations were run for environmental DNA sample collection dates on September 14, 2020,  August 10, 2021, and September 08, 2021. For each eDNA collection date, the transport of freshwater mussel eDNA from Epioblasma capsaeformis was simulated by specifying eDNA as an arbitrary constituent in the HEC-RAS water quality module and assigning a first order rate of decay. To account for the variation of the eDNA field samples at the upstream boundary condition, as well as the laboratory derived decay constants, we ran three model simulations for each eDNA collection date: a) the mean eDNA concentration at the upstream boundary with the mean decay constant (k), b) the mean eDNA concentration at the upstream boundary plus 1SE with the mean k minus 1SE, and c) the mean eDNA concentration at the upstream boundary minus 1SE with the mean k plus 1SE. Field collected eDNA concentrations were used as an upstream boundary condition.

Salinas Valley Hydrologic Models: Surface Water Data (ver. 1.1, September 2024)

This digital dataset contains the surface water data used for both the Salinas Valley Watershed Model (SVWM) and the Lower Salinas Valley Hydrologic Models (Salinas Valley Integrated Hydrologic Model (SVIHM) and Salinas Valley Operational Model (SVOM)). The surface water dataset includes two regions of the Salinas River Watershed; the upper region is primarily within San Luis Obispo County, California and lower region of the Salinas River Watershed is contained within Monterey County, California. Subcatchments within the Salinas River watershed were delineated using the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 10m digital elevation model (DEM), USGS National Hydrography Dataset Best Resolution (NHD) watershed boundaries, and the NHD stream data (U.S. Geological Survey, 2019). For each defined subcatchment, a pourpoint was defined that connects the watershed outflow to the tributary streams or ephemeral stream channels defined for the Salinas River in the lower and upper Salinas Valley Watershed.
For the stream network of the lower Salinas River Watershed, NHD defined streams were used to initially define the network. The lower Salinas River Watershed stream network was refined to account for diversion canals and undefined ephemeral channels that drain into the Lower Salinas Valley in cooperation with Monterey County. For the lower Salinas Valley, the stream network and subcatchment data were defined simultaneously. For the upper Salinas Valley the pourpoints were defined based upon where previously defined subcatchments intersected with the stream network defined by the Paso Robles Basin Model (Fugro West, Inc and Cleath Associates, 2002; Fugro West, Inc, ETIC Engineering, Inc, and Cleath and Associates, 2005). The stream network spatial data were not provided from San Luis Obispo County as a vector shape, and the USGS did not develop the Paso Robles Basin Model (PRBM), therefore a shapefile of locations where the PRBM grid contained a stream reach was used as a proxy for linear features of the stream network in the upper Salinas River Watershed.
This data set includes the following files: 
- Shapefiles for stream network, both lower and upper watersheds
- Streamflow gage data and location
- Ungaged tributary inflow points, both lower and upper watersheds
