Diversion Points for the Rio Grande transboundary integrated hydrologic model and water-availability analysis, New Mexico and Texas, United States, and Northern Chihuahua, Mexico

This point vector dataset represents 61 surface-water points of diversion used as input into the Streamflow-Routing (SFR) Package for MODFLOW-One-Water Hydrologic Flow Model in the Rio Grande Transboundary Integrated Hydrologic Model (RGTIHM). Thirty-one of the 61 diversion points represent surface-water deliveries to combined groundwater and surface-water water balance subregions (WBS), and the remaining 30 diversion points represent diversions to canals and laterals along the surface-water conveyance network. Flow was specified monthly at each diversion point as either a rate (volume per time) or as a fractional split from the simulated flow in the upstream segment.

Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) 2021 Site 4551 land-water classification data

Wetland restoration efforts conducted by the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) in Louisiana rely on monitoring efforts to determine the efficacy of these efforts. The Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) was developed to assist in a multiple-reference approach that uses aspects of hydrogeomorphic functional assessments and probabilistic sampling for monitoring. The CRMS program includes a suite of approximately 398 sites that encompass the range of hydrological and ecological conditions for each stratum. As part of CRMS, land and water classifications are created from Digital Orthophoto Quarter Quadrangles (DOQQs) approximately every three years at all CRMS sites. A DOQQ is a raster image in which displacement in the image caused by sensor orientation and terrain relief has been removed and combines the image characteristics of a photo with geometric qualities of a map. The DOQQs generated for this project consist of 2021 Color Infrared (CIR) Digital Imagery. These images were classified into land and water categories using a threshold of the near infrared (NIR) band, followed by supervised and unsupervised classification.  Initial classification results are then reviewed by multiple image analysts to identify and manually recode errors. The final land-water classifications are intended to serve as both geographic and quantitative assessments of landscape composition on the date of acquisition. Five previous assessments have been conducted (2005, 2008, 2012, 2015/2016, and 2018). Once the program creates enough data points for statistical analyses, these data will be used for land area change rate calculation.

Site 34 Mississippi River Bathymetry and Velocimetry Data at Structure A1500 on Interstate 55 in St. Louis, Missouri, October 2010 and May 2016

These data are high-resolution bathymetry (riverbed elevation) and depth-averaged velocities in ASCII format, generated from hydrographic and velocimetric surveys of the Mississippi River near structure A1500 on Interstate 55 in St. Louis, Missouri, in 2010 and 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.

Sprague River Oregon Centerline Sycan 1940

The Sprague River drains 4090 square kilometers in south-central Oregon before flowing into the Williamson 
River and upper Klamath Lake. In cooperation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the USGS and University 
of Oregon conducted a study to evaluate channel and floodplain processes for the 131 km of the Sprague River 
and its major tributaries, including the lower 20 km of the South Fork Sprague River, the lower 16 km of the North 
Fork Sprague River, and the lower 62 km of the Sycan River. The study involved multiple analyses, including 
assessments of historical channel change, riparian and floodplain vegetation, and surficial geology. To support 
these analyses, digital floodplain and channel maps were prepared from historic notes, maps, and aerial photos 
to depict channel and floodplain conditions at different times between 1866 and 2005. The geospatial database 
of current and historic channel and floodplain conditions will also enable evaluation of long-term trends pertaining 
to aquatic and riparian habitat conditions.

Laboratory challenge of Pacific herring Clupea pallasii to Vibrio anguillarum and V. ordallii

Controlled waterborne exposures of Pacific herring (Clupea pallasii) to Vibrio anguillarum and V. ordalii failed to result in overt signs of disease or mortality from vibriosis.  Cumulative mortalities among Vibrio - exposed Pacific herring (3.3 - 5.0%) were similar to those of saline-exposed negative controls (10%) and significantly less (P &lt; 0.001) than those of Vibrio - exposed Chinook salmon (60 - 97%), a known susceptible species. Gross signs of disease did not occur on any dead or surviving Pacific herring; however, exposed Chinook salmon demonstrated classic gross signs of vibriosis.  The results indicate that early reports of presumed vibriosis in Pacific herring during the 1950’s were likely misdiagnosed cases of a viral disease, possibly viral hemorrhagic septicemia or viral erythrocytic necrosis, which can cause hemorrhagic lesions superficially resembling those of vibriosis.

Data from pathology of Lagovirus europaeus GI.2/RHDV2/b (rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus 2) in native North American lagomorphs

Rabbit hemorrhagic disease, a notifiable foreign animal disease in the USA, was reported for the first time in wild native North American rabbits and hares in April 2020 in the southwestern USA. Affected species included the Desert Cottontail (Sylvilagus audubonii), Mountain Cottontail (S. nutallii), Black-tailed Jackrabbit (Lepus californicus), and Antelope Jackrabbit (L. alleni). Desert Cottontails (n=7) and Black-tailed Jackrabbits (n=7) collected in April and May 2020 were necropsied at the U.S. Geological Survey National Wildlife Health Center (NWHC) and tested positive for Lagovirus europaeus GI.2, also known as rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus 2 (GI.2/RHDV2/b), by real-time PCR at the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Foreign Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory. Gross and microscopic lesions were similar to those reported in European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) and other hare (Lepus) species with GI.2/RHDV2/b infection and included epistaxis (12/13; 92%), massive hepatocellular dissociation (14/14; 100%) and necrosis/apoptosis (11/11; 100%), pulmonary congestion (12/12; 100%), edema (12/13; 92%), and hemorrhage (11/12; 92%), and acute renal tubular injury (3/8; 38%). As in previous reports and when compared to historical cases in the NWHC diagnostic database, massive hepatocellular dissociation and necrosis/apoptosis was the most diagnostically distinct finding in GI.2/RHDV2/b-positive rabbits and hares. Based on the apparent susceptibility of North American Sylvilagus and Lepus species to fatal GI.2/RHDV2/b infection, additional work is needed to understand the host range, pathogenicity, and potential population impacts of GI.2/RHDV2/b in North America.

Forcing and Normalizing Operation (FANO) method for the Operational Simplified Surface Energy Balance (SSEBop) ET model

We developed an improved approach to the parameterization of the Operational Simplified Surface Energy Balance (SSEBop) model using the Forcing and Normalizing Operation (FANO). The FANO parameterization was implemented on two computing platforms using Landsat and gridded meteorological datasets: 1) Google Earth Engine (GEE) and 2) Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center Science Processing Architecture (ESPA). Evaluation was conducted by comparing modeled actual evapotranspiration (ETa) estimates with AmeriFlux Eddy Covariance (EC) and water balance ETa from level-8 Hydrologic Unit Code sub-basins in the conterminous United States for five water-years (Oct-Sep; 2009, 2011, 2013, 2016, 2018). The results of the Water balance evaluation and other graphics to support the journal publication are available at "Results of the Water Balance evaluation and supplemental data for publication". The ET data set in raster format are available for download at "Annual Water-Year SSEBop Landsat 30-meter Actual Evapotranspiration (ETa) rasters for 5 years between 2009-2018 using the Forcing and Normalizing Operation".

Near-surface geophysical data collected along streams near Silverton, Colorado, USA (ver. 2.0, May 2022)

Near-surface geophysical data from within the Bonita Peak Mining District in Silverton, Colorado, USA are presented.  These data were collected in 2019. The data include fiber optic distributed temperature sensing (FO-DTS) and frequency domain electromagnetic induction (FDEM) data collected in and around roughly 1 km reaches of Cement Creek and California Gulch.  Additional data, including ground penetrating radar (GPR) and self potential (SP), were gathered from a peatland that intercepts acid mine drainage from Mogul Mine into Cement Creek.  The peatland is located off the eastern bank of Cement Creek in the northern portion of the reach surveyed with FO-DTS and FDEM.
In 2021, an FO-DTS, FDEM, and magnetometer (MAG) dataset were collected along both banks of an approximate 3-4 km reach of the Animas River, spanning from Arrastra Gulch upstream to USGS gage 09358000.

Hyperspectral image data from the Niobrara River, Nebraska, November 2012 and August 2016

Hyperspectral image data from the Niobrara River, a dynamic, sand-bed channel in northern Nebraska, were acquired in November 2012 and again in August 2016 to support research on remote sensing of rivers, particularly retrieval of water depth and tracking of mobile bedforms.  These data were collected by the Compact Airborne Spectrographic Imager (CASI) 1500H manufactured by ITRES Research Limited.  The data were acquired from fixed wing aircraft and have spatial resolutions (pixel sizes) from 0.5 - 0.6 m.  The data consist of a large number of spectral bands spanning the visible and near infrared wavelengths and have been radiometrically corrected.  The image pixel values represent spectral radiance units of 1 uW cm-2 sr-1 nm-1, with a data multiplier (scale factor) of 1000.  No atmospheric correction was performed for the data provided in this release.

LANDFIRE 2022 Forest Canopy Height (CH) Puerto Rico US Virgin Islands

LANDFIRE's (LF) 2022 Forest Canopy Height (CH) describes the average height of the top of the canopy for a stand. CH is used in the calculation of Canopy Bulk Density (CBD) and Canopy Base Height (CBH). CH supplies information for fire behavior models, such as FARSITE (Finney 1998), that can determine the starting point of embers in the spotting model, wind reductions, and the volume of crown fuels. To create this product, plot level CH values are calculated using the canopy fuel estimation software, Forest Vegetation Simulator (FVS). Pre-disturbance Canopy Cover and CH are used as predictors of disturbed CH using a linear regression equation per Fuel Vegetation Type (FVT), disturbance type/severity, and time since disturbance. CH is used in the calculation of Canopy Bulk Density (CBD) and Canopy Base Height (CBH). In LF 2022, fuel products are created with LF 2016 Remap vegetation in areas that were un-disturbed in the last ten years. 
To designate disturbed areas where CH is modified, the aggregated Annual Disturbance products from 2013 to 2022 in the Fuel Disturbance (FDist) product are used. All existing disturbances between 2013-2022 are represented in the LF 2022 update, and the products are intended to be used in 2023 (the year of release). The “capable” year terminology used in LF 2020 and LF 2016 Remap is no longer specified, due to reduction in latency from when a disturbance occurs to the release date of fuel products accounting for that disturbance. However, users should still consider adjusting fuel layers for disturbances that occurred after the end of the 2022 fiscal year (after October 1st, 2022) when using the LF 2022 fuel products. Because those changes would not be accounted for. Learn more about LF 2022 at https://landfire.gov/lf_230.php .

Geospatial datasets and hydraulic model for flood-inundation maps for the Schoharie Creek in North Blenheim, NY

Digital flood-inundation maps for a 2.4-mile reach of the Schoharie Creek in North Blenheim, New York, were created by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the New York Power Authority. The flood-inundation maps, which can be accessed through the USGS Flood Inundation Mapping Science web site at https://fim.wim.usgs.gov/fim/, depict estimates of the areal extent and depth of flooding corresponding to selected water levels (stages) at the USGS streamgage on the Schoharie Creek near North Blenheim, NY (station number 01350212). Flood profiles were computed for the stream reach by means of a two-dimensional implicit finite volume hydraulic model. The model was calibrated using the active (as of April, 2021) stage-discharge ratings at two USGS streamgages on the Schoharie Creek (Schoharie Creek near North Blenheim, NY [01350212] and Schoharie Creek at North Blenheim, NY [01350180]) and documented high-water marks in the study reach from the floods of August 28, 2011, January 19, 1996, and April 4, 1987. 
The hydraulic model was used to compute 13 water-surface profiles for flood stages at 1-foot (ft) intervals referenced to the streamgage datum and ranging from 14 ft, or near bankfull, to 26 ft, which is the highest whole-foot-increment on the stage-discharge rating for the streamgage. The simulated water-surface profiles were then combined with a geographic information system digital elevation model (derived from light detection and ranging data having a 0.52-ft vertical accuracy and 3.3-ft horizontal resolution) to delineate the area flooded at each stage.
This data release contains five child items: (1) the field survey points used in model development; (2) the hydraulic model used to develop the inundation maps, and the (3) depth grids, (4) inundation polygons, and (5) water surface elevation grids from the model output.
