Potential Wetland Extent Along the East Fork White River Between USGS Gaging Stations 03365500 and 03373500

The Wetland Reserve Program (WRP) is a voluntary program administered by the NRCS. It provides technical and financial assistance to private landowners and Tribes to restore, protect, and enhance wetlands in exchange for retiring eligible land from agriculture. For a site to be a wetland eligible for restoration, it must be in a zone with sustained or frequent flooding for a period of 7 consecutive days on average at least once every 2 years (a value termed the 7MQ2). This study calculated the 7MQ2 flows for all the U.S. Geological Survey streamgages within the selected study reaches. These flows were related to the stage discharge tables for each streamgage and a corresponding elevation was determined. By use of the water-surface elevations (“inundation elevations”) along the rivers, an approximate extent of potential wetland for a restoration in agricultural land can be mapped. As part of the study, a set of maps representing the estimated potential wetland extents for each study reach was generated in a geographic information system (GIS) application by combining (1) a digital water-surface plane representing the surface of inundation elevation that sloped in the downstream direction of flow and (2) land-surface elevation data. The map products from this study will aid the NRCS and its partners with the onsite inundation-zone verification in agricultural land for a potential restoration.

Controlled source audio-frequency magnetotellurics (CSAMT) data from the Big Chino Wash and Paulden areas, Yavapai County, Arizona

Controlled source audio-frequency magnetotellurics (CSAMT) data were collected in the Big Chino Valley and Paulden areas, Yavapai County, Arizona, to better understand the hydrogeology of the area. CSAMT data provide vertical cross-section (profile) data about the resistivity of the subsurface, which may be related to lithologic boundaries and (or) grain-size distribution in the subsurface. CSAMT involves transmitting a current at various frequencies in one location, and measuring resistivity differences between electrodes spaced along a receiver line several kilometers from the transmitter. Data were collected using a GGT-30 transmitter and GDP32-II receiver (Zonge international. Inc.). Data processing and inversions were carried out using Zonge International, Inc. software.
As a processing step, measured resistivity values must be "inverted", or converted to 2-d vertical resitivity profiles. The inversion step involves identifying a subsurface resistivity model that best matches the data, while accounting for the measurement precision of the data.
The primary data format is a .kmz file that can be viewed in Google Earth or other geospatial browsers. The .kmz file can be unzipped to view the source images.  Subsurface resistivity cross-sections are shown at their respective geographic locations, elevated above the land surface. The vertical scale for each cross-section is approximately identical. The .kmz file can be downloaded from this page.
In addition, raw data, station location data, and inversion data are provided. These files are useful for reprocessing the inversions and testing alternative inversion schemes. They can be downloaded from the child pages linked below. 
Raw Data: Text files output by the data-collection instrument (GDP32-II, Zonge International, Inc.); averaged values are used in the inversion. These data may be useful for testing alternative inversion schemes. 
Station Data: Text files with the receiver locations for each line. data were collected using a handheld GPS. 
Inversion Data: Text files of inverted resistivity values, starting model values, and corresponding x, y, z coordinates  These files allow the user to recreate the inversions provded in the accompanying kmz file.

Shear-wave velocity in the Seattle basin to 2 km depth characterized with the krSPAC microtremor array method: insights for urban basin-scale imaging - Data Release

The dataset for this investigation consists of microtremor array data collected at 11 sites in the Seattle basin, Washington State. Ten of the arrays consisted of seven Nanometrics Trillium Compact broadband sensors deployed in asymmetric nested triangles (sites ST01, BA02, SP04, LF05, UW06, SN07, RD08, EL09, CH10, and KG11) that recorded for up to six hours. The eleventh array, at site NW03, was supplemented with a smaller triangular array that recorded for about 1 hour before redeployment to a larger array. The inter-sensor distances varied from about 173 m to 2000 m. The data were recorded on Reftek RT-130 data loggers and converted to SAC binary format for archival. All three components were recorded from each sensor. Coordinates of each sensor location are provided in UTM zone 10N format, WGS84 datum. Field logs describing the sensor locations and instrumentation are also provided.

Data Set S1 for "Coseismic Sackungen Record Evidence of Strong Shaking and Fault Source in the New Madrid Seismic Zone, USA"

The New Madrid Seismic Zone presents significant seismic hazard to the central and eastern United States. We mapped newly-identified coseismic ridge-spreading features, or sackungen, in the bluffs east of the Mississippi River in western Tennessee. We use this mapping dataset in an accompanying manuscript to show that sackungen form during earthquakes on the Reelfoot fault and may fail in preferred orientations. Ultimately, these data can be used to infer fault source and mechanism and improve the paleoseismic record used in hazard models.

Stable isotopic insights into Bathymodiolus childressi at two seeps in the U.S. Atlantic margin

Chemosynthetic environments support distinct benthic communities capable of utilizing reduced chemical compounds for nutrition. Hundreds of methane seeps have been documented along the U.S. Atlantic margin (USAM), and detailed investigations at a few seeps have revealed distinct environments containing mussels, microbial mats, authigenic carbonates, and soft sediments. The dominant mussel Bathymodiolus childressi contains methanotrophic endosymbionts but is also capable of filter feeding. We used SIA (δ13C, δ 5N, and δ34S) and an isotope mixing model (MixSIAR) to estimate resource contribution to B. childressi and characterize food webs at two seep sites (Baltimore Seep: 400 m and Norfolk Seep: 1500 m depths) along the USAM, and applied a linear mixed-effects model to explore the role of mussel population density and tissue type in influencing SIA variance.

Output Data Metadata, 2012 Little Bear Fire PRMS prefire-postfire models

This dataset contains output files from hydrologic simulations of the Upper Rio Hondo Subbasin, New Mexico using the Precipitation-Runoff Modeling System (PRMS). Input data for the entire Upper Rio Hondo Subbasin were developed, but output data only from the North Fork Eagle Creek subwatershed were used. Output datasets for four model simulations are included: two calibrated model simulations (one for prefire conditions and one for postfire conditions) and two model simulations used for scenarios (one for prefire conditions and one for postfire conditions) in the North Fork Eagle Creek subwatershed. Models used for scenarios differed from calibrated models only in that they used different climate forcing data.  These PRMS model input data are intended to accompany a U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report (Douglas-Mankin and Moeser, 2018).

Annual peak-flow data, PeakFQ specification files and PeakFQ output files for 368 selected streamflow gaging stations operated by the U.S. Geological Survey in the Great Lakes and Ohio River basins that were used to estimate regional skewness of annual peak flows

This dataset contains annual peak-flow data, PeakFQ specifications, and results of flood-frequency analyses of annual peak flows for 368 selected streamflow gaging stations (streamgages) operated by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in the Great Lakes and Ohio River basins.  "PeakFQinput_all.txt" contains annual peak-flow data, ending in water year 2013, for all 368 streamgages in the study area.  Annual peak-flow data were obtained from the USGS National Water Information System (NWIS) database (https://nwis.waterdata.usgs.gov/usa/nwis/peak).  "PeakFQspec_all.psf" contains PeakFQ specifications for all 368 streamgages in the study area.  The specifications were developed by hydrologists in the various USGS Water Science Centers that participated in the study.  "PeakFQoutput_all.PRT" contains the results of flood-frequency analyses of annual peak-flow data, for each of the 368 streamgages in the study area, that were conducted using the Expected Moments Algorithm (England and others, 2018).  Using the annual peak-flow data in "PeakFQinput_all.txt" and the specifications in "PeakFQspec_all.psf", "PeakFQoutput_all.PRT" was generated in version 7.2 of USGS flood-frequency analysis software PeakFQ (https://water.usgs.gov/software/PeakFQ/; Veilleux and others, 2014).  Results of the flood-frequency analyses were used to estimate regional skew for the study area using Bayesian Weighted Least Squares / Bayesian Generalized Least Squares (B-WLS / B-GLS) regression.

Water-budget analyses to calculate actual evapotranspiration in 8 basins in east-central and northeast Florida from 2000 to 2017

Actual evapotranspiration (AET) annual rates, from 2000 to 2017, for the Simplified Surface Energy Balance operational (SSEBop) method and from 2000 to 2016 for the land-cover based method, provided in shapefiles AET_SJR_Basin_Cells, are explained in the metadata file AET_SJR_Basins. The calculation of the annual average AET rates using a water-budget analysis (WBA) is explained in this metadata file referring to csv files for the eight basins in east-central and northeast Florida. A comparison of the average annual SSEBop AET rates and those derived from the WBA is then possible by using the average annual AET rates for each basin. The eight basins for which the WBA analysis was completed are: 
1. St. Johns near Christmas basin (number 02232500), 2. Econlockhatchee River basin (number 02233484), 3. Wekiva River basin (number 02235000), 4. Eau Gallie River basin (number 02249007), 5. South Prong at St. Sebastian River basin (number 02251000), 6. Black Creek basin (number 02245500), 7. North Fork Black Creek basin (number 02246000), and 8. Deep Creek basin (number 02245260). 
The locations of these basins are shown in the shapefiles AET_SJR_Basin_Cells. Average annual rainfall (Rainfall), average annual net stream outflow (NetOutflow), average annual downward leakage from the surficial aquifer (Leakage) to the underlying hydrogeologic unit, net annual changes in storage calculated from measured water levels in surficial aquifer wells (Sy*dh/dt), and total annual return flow to land surface through irrigation and other water uses (Return_Flow) for all 8 basins were used to calculate the AET from the water-budget balance equation WB_AET = Rainfall – NetOutflow – Leakage -Sy*dh/dt + Return_Flow. Note that parameter Leakage is negative for discharge areas of the surficial aquifer. The results of the WBA method provided average annual AET rates for each basin, which can be compared with calculated annual averages from the SSEBop method for each entire basin, all rates in inches per year. The Return Flow estimates were obtained from the publication Marella, R.L., 2014, Water withdrawals, use, and trends in Florida, 2010: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2014-5088, 59 p., http://dx.doi.org/10.3133/sir20145088.

Actual evapotranspiration annual rates from 2000 to 2017 in basins in east-central and northeast Florida.

The actual evapotranspiration (AET) annual rates provided in shapefiles AET_SJR_Basin_Cells are for 2 km by 2 km cells in basins in east-central and northeast Florida. The AET rates are presented in the shapefiles for two methods: the Simplified Surface Energy Balance operational (SSEBop) method and for the land-cover type (LC) method. The period of record is 2000 to 2016 for the LC-based method and from 2000 to 2017 for the SSEBop-based method. The SSEBop AET rates are based on a work by Senay and others (2013). The LC-based AET rates were calculated from the AET/RET ratios listed in file AET2RET_Ratios.csv and the annual reference ET rates from 2000 to 2016. A third method used to calculate annual average AET rates for the same basins was based on the water-budget analysis (WBA) using the water-balance equation. The results of the WBA are presented in file names with format “WB_#.csv” where “#” is the 8-digit basin number. AET rates from WBA are applicable for the entire basin and not for individual cells in a basin. These are explained in detail in file WB_8_Basins.xml. 
The SSEBop AET rates were obtained from written correspondence from Gabriel Senay (USGS, 2018). For the benefit of the reader, the methodology used to generate the SSEBop rates is explained in: 
Senay, Gabriel B., Bohms, S., Singh, R.K., Gowda, P.H., Velpuri, N.M., Alemu, H., and Verdin. J.P., 2013, Operational Evapotranspiration Mapping Using Remote Sensing and Weather Datasets: A New Parameterization for the SSEB Approach: Journal of the American Water Resources Association, v. 49, no. 3, p. 577-591, DOI: 10.1111/jawr.12057.

Actual evapotranspiration (AET) monthly rates from ET stations in central Florida and corresponding simplified surface energy balance operational AET rates

Measured AET monthly rates in file AET_Monthly_Totals.csv were calculated at these ET monitoring stations in central and east-central Florida: Duda Farms, Blue Cypress, Reedy Lake, Orlando Urban, Disney Preserve, Lyonia Preserve. The monthly AET rates measured at these sites are compared side by side with the monthly AET rates calculated using the SSEBop method. The SSEBop AET rates were obtained from Gabriel Senay, one of the authors of Savoca and others, 2013, where the SSEBop methodology is explained. The measured AET monthly rates at the ET sites are presented as another way to assess the reliability of the SSEBop AET rates. The Florida ET network grid pixel numbers used for this comparison are: Duda Farms - pixel 106578, Blue Cypress - pixel 91413, Reedy Lake - pixel 92321, Orlando Urban - pixel 115088, Disney Preserve - pixel 100383, and Lyonia Preserve - pixel 123618. The AET rates under the SSEBop fields were used to validate the rates by comparing them to the measured AET rates at the ET stations.

Annual winter elk movements in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem 2001-2015

521 unique elk were monitored across several years with GPS collars in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem to determine winter-to-winter annual dispersal distances. There were a total of 704 annual movements. The dataset spans from 2001 to 2015. Annual movements were based on a single location in January or February and another location in the subsequent winter. An individual elk was included at most three times (once for each year) in the data. All elk were female, except one of the individuals in the dataset was a male. We included his movement in the analysis for completeness, but as there was only one male we chose not to directly model any differences in movement behavior between male and female elk.

Inundation Exposure Assessment for Majuro Atoll, Republic of the Marshall Islands

Low-lying island environments, such as the Majuro Atoll in the Republic of the Marshall Islands, are particularly vulnerable to inundation (coastal flooding) whether the increased water levels are from episodic events (storm surge, wave run-up, king tides) or from chronic conditions (long term sea-level rise).  Land elevation is the primary geophysical variable that determines exposure to inundation in coastal settings.  Accordingly, coastal elevation data are a critical input for assessments of inundation exposure and vulnerability.  Previous research has demonstrated that the quality of data used for elevation-based assessments must be well understood and applied to properly model potential impacts.  The vertical uncertainty of the input elevation data controls to a large extent the increments of water level increase and planning horizons that can be effectively used in an assessment.  Recent high-resolution elevation data along the coast exhibit high vertical accuracy, and thus have become indispensable for assessments, whether a simple inundation model is used, or a more sophisticated process-based or probabilistic model is employed.  When properly characterized, the vertical accuracy of the high-resolution, high-accuracy elevation data can be used to generate maps and report assessment results with the uncertainty stated in terms of a specific confidence level.  This data release includes the results of a quantitative assessment of inundation exposure for Majuro Atoll, including rigorous accounting for the cumulative vertical uncertainty in the input geospatial data (elevation model) and data processing (datum transformations).  The project employed a recently produced and validated high-resolution, high-accuracy topobathymetric digital elevation model (TBDEM) covering Majuro Atoll.  Areas subject to marine inundation (direct hydrologic connection to the ocean) and low-lying land (no direct hydrologic flowpath to the ocean) were mapped and characterized for different inundation levels.
