Hydrographic and Impairment Statistics Database: PAAL

Hydrographic and Impairment Statistics (HIS) is a National Park Service (NPS) Water Resources Division (WRD) project established to track certain goals created in response to the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA). One water resources management goal established by the Department of the Interior under GRPA requires NPS to track the percent of its managed surface waters that are meeting Clean Water Act (CWA) water quality standards. This goal requires an accurate inventory that spatially quantifies the surface water hydrography that each bureau manages and a procedure to determine and track which waterbodies are or are not meeting water quality standards as outlined by Section 303(d) of the CWA. This project helps meet this DOI GRPA goal by inventorying and monitoring in a geographic information system for the NPS: (1) CWA 303(d) quality impaired waters and causes; and (2) hydrographic statistics based on the United States Geological Survey (USGS) National Hydrography Dataset (NHD). Hydrographic and 303(d) impairment statistics were evaluated based on a combination of 1:24,000 (NHD) and finer scale data (frequently provided by state GIS layers).

Imagery data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area

This reference contains the imagery data used in the completion of the baseline vegetation inventory project for the NPS park unit.  Orthophotos, raw imagery, and scanned aerial photos are common files held here.

Remotely-sensed imagery provides the foundation for mapping vegetation types and other land cover classes. Imagery taken by the GeoEye-1 satellite/sensor was acquired from LandInfo Worldwide Mapping, LLC. The product was delivered as bundled 50 cm panchromatic and 2 meter 4-band multispectral (R, G, B, and NIR) images. The imagery has a positional accuracy of <3 m. Specifications for the GeoEye acquisition included the following: Total area for new collection of 372 square kilometers, 10% or less cloud cover , 0-20 off-nadir angle guarantee, Acquisition dates between late May and late June, 2011 Imagery satisfying the requirements was successfully acquired for the BICA project area on June 15, 2011 and delivered to CSU in July 2011. Each image was delivered as a geo-referenced product mosaicked as a single scene/image. We created a 50 cm resolution pan-sharpened set of multispectral bands to use for interpretation of vegetation. The acquisition provided 4-band imagery during the peak growing season. Additional imagery supplementing interpretation included 30 cm true-color Google Earth/Bing imagery imported to ArcGIS using Arc2Earth™ software and older true-color imagery viewed using the Google Earth online viewer.

ABoVE: Passive Microwave-derived Annual Snowoff Date Maps, 1988-2016

This dataset provides annual maps of the snowoff (SO) date from 1988-2016 across Alaska and parts of Far East Russia and northwest Canada at a resolution of 6.25 km. SO date is defined as the last day of persistent snow and was derived from the MEaSUREs Calibrated Enhanced-Resolution Passive Microwave (PMW) EASE-Grid Brightness Temperature (Tb) Earth System Data Record (ESDR) product. The spatial domain was intended to match MODIS Alaska Snow Metrics and extend its temporal fidelity beyond the MODIS era. SO date estimates were compared to snow depth measurements collected at SNOTEL stations across Alaska and to three SO datasets derived from MODIS, Landsat, and the Interactive Multisensor Snow and Ice Mapping System (IMS).

There are 30 total files in GeoTIFF (.tif) format, one file for every year from 1988-2016 and a fractional water mask file.

Daily Rain-on-Snow Data Record Time Series Derived from AMSR-E and AMSR2, Version 1 (WY2003 – WY2016)

The Version 1 AMSR-E/2 Rain-on-Snow Data Record (ROS) was generated from daily brightness temperatures (Tb) at vertically and horizontally polarized 36.5 GHz and 18.7 GHz from the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer for EOS and Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 (AMSR-E/2) across Alaska, USA for water years (WY) 2003 to 2016. The AMSR-E/2 orbital swath Tb data were spatially re-sampled to a 6-km resolution on a polar EASE-Grid (version 2) format using an inverse distance squared weighting method (Brodzick et al. 2012, Du et al. 2017). To ensure cross-sensor consistency, the gridded AMSR-2 Tb data were empirically calibrated against the same AMSRE frequencies using a Double-Differencing method and similar overlapping observations from the FY3B MWRI sensor record (Du et al. 2014).

ROS events and associated snow wetness, induced by atmospheric conditions, were detected using a spectral Gradient Ratio to exploit the 19 and 37 GHz dielectric properties in response to rain-on-snow events and enhanced liquid water content (LWC) within the surface snowpack (Grenfell and Putkonen 2008). The Gradient Ratio is applied to vertical and horizontal polarizations, respectively. The proceedings Gradient Ratios are then ratioed together using a Gradient Ratio Polarization (GRP) (Dolant et al. 2016, Langlois et al. 2017). A threshold value is then applied to the GRP to detect ROS. The threshold is set to < 1 for elevations below 900 m and < -5 for elevations above 900 m.

The satellite derived data record allows for the identification of ROS events at a relatively fine spatial resolution and high temporal resolution. Data are provided at daily acquisitions, allowing for the identification of single ROS events; and monthly annual aggregations from November through March.

Nest use dynamics of an undisturbed population of bald eagles: data files and win bugs code

The eagle data came from surveys conducted by Lake Clark National Park and Preserve (LACL) under the Southwest Alaska Network (SWAN) protocol.

The database with the cleaned field data is also housed on IRMA repository. On 6 May 2015, T. L. Wilson obtained a query of the full dataset of all records pertaining to eagle occupancy and pre-fledgling chick counts. The data were rearranged, and reformatted for analysis by the BUGS code reported in the paper.

UPDE Trail of Geology

This Story Map of UPDE Trail of Geology provides a virtual tour of geological features along the Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River. The map provides information on landmarks within the Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River corridor such as the Hawk's Nest cliffs, the Big Eddy Narrows, the Skinners Falls rapids, Jensens Ledges, and Point Mountain.  


In 1978 Congress designated the Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River (UPDE) as a unit of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System.  Forming part of the Pennsylvania (PA) - New York (NY) border, the Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River flows approximately 73.3 river miles across two states, five counties, and fifteen municipalities.  The UPDE river corridor is an area of natural and scenic beauty.  Rural in nature, the Upper Delaware is covered by a mix of deciduous and coniferous forests.  Small communities (hamlets) and agricultural areas dot the landscape.  As one of the largest undammed waterways in the eastern United States, the river provides high-quality water, ecologic diversity and integrity, and many recreational opportunities.
