AllScenarios_Bin1thru18_SSC: Modeling the Effects of Interior Headland Restoration on Estuarine Sediment Transport Processes in a Marine-Dominant Estuary: Delft3D Model Output

The effects of interior headland restoration on estuarine sediment transport processes are assessed through process-based numerical modeling. Three proposed interior headland restoration scenarios in the Grand Bay estuary (Mississippi/Alabama) are modeled using Delft3D (developed by Deltares) to understand impacts on suspended sediment concentrations, bed level morphology and sediment fluxes under present-day conditions and a sea level rise of 0.5 meters (m). Delft3D model output of suspended sediment concentrations (SSC), sediment fluxes, initial and final bed levels, and hydrodynamic data are included in this dataset. Model output from six scenarios (comprised of three restoration (R) alternatives and two sea level (SL) conditions) as forced by 18 climatological wind and wave forcing conditions are included in this data release (Jenkins and others, 2023a). For further information regarding model input generation, set up, and analysis, refer to Jenkins and others (2023b).

VS2DI model used to evaluate groundwater connectivity of wetlands in the Prairie Pothole Region, North Dakota

A two-dimensional, groundwater flow model (VS2DI) was developed to examine groundwater flow near 
wetlands in the Prairie Pothole Region of North Dakota. Four model domains were created, the first 
three are hypothetical or idealized and do not relate to an actual location. The fourth domain is a 
cross section designed to replicate results presented in Winter and Carr 
(https://pubs.er.usgs.gov/publication/wri8099). The model was used to evaluate conditions suitable for 
groundwater to flow from a wetland to another body of water. This USGS data release contains all of 
the input and output files for the simulations described in the associated journal article 
(https://doi.org/10.1007/s13157-017-0956-7). This data release also includes the VS2DI v1.3 source code.

LANDFIRE Remap Forest Canopy Bulk Density (CBD) Marshall Islands

LANDFIRE’s (LF) 2016 Remap (Remap) Canopy Bulk Density (CBD) describes the mass of available canopy fuel per unit canopy volume that would burn in a crown fire. A spatially explicit map of CBD supplies information used in fire behavior models to determine the spread characteristics of crown fires across the landscape. The CBD mapping process derives field referenced estimates of canopy characteristics through LF Reference Database (LFRDB) plot analysis. Utilizing the LFRDB plots, field referenced CBD values are computed for each plot with the canopy fuel estimation software FuelCalc. In FuelCalc, for tree species that have no crown biomass, an equation for a species with a similar genus is used as a substitute. Species widely considered to be resistant to fire are excluded, for example, Acer and Populus spp. are excluded from the canopy fuel profile because these species are considered relatively inflammable and therefore unavailable. 
CBD has a series of post-processing techniques and logic checks ensuring it is relevant in the context of other fuel products and fire behavior predictions. All non-forest values and non-burnable types such as urban, barren, snow and ice, and agriculture are coded as 0. Some stands dominated by broadleaf species which typically do not permit initiation of crown fire (e.g. Populus spp.) are coded with a CBD of 0.01 kg m-3.  In some instances, LF Remap assumes the potential burnable biomass in the tree canopy has been accounted for in the surface fuel model. For example, young or short conifer stands where the trees are represented by a shrub type fuel model will not have canopy characteristics. 
LF Remap Annual Disturbance products are incorporated into CBD to provide informed changes by disturbance type, severity, and time since disturbance (TSD). Annual Disturbance products provide a pre-disturbance scenario represented by LF Remap existing vegetation products. Reporting of the pre-disturbance scenario helps to calculate CBD, with information about vegetation type, cover, and height impacted by a disturbance. With the use of Annual Disturbance products, CBD also has capable fuels functionality. Capable fuels calculate TSD assignments for disturbed areas using an "effective year." For example, year 2020 fuels may be calculated for the year 2020. the new process considers all the existing disturbances included in LF Remap and adjusts the TSD for these to the effective year (2020 in the example), making the products "2020 capable fuels." More information about capable fuels can be found at https://www.landfire.gov/lf_remap.php.

Laboratory Observations of Variable Size and Shape Particles-Artificial Sand and Oil Agglomerates: June 2017 Video Data

Following marine oil spills, weathered oil can mix with sediment in the surf zone and settle to the seafloor to form mats up to hundreds of meters long. Wave action fragments these mats into 1- to 10-centimeter (cm) diameter sand and oil agglomerates (SOAs). SOAs can persist for years, becoming buried in or exhumed from the seafloor and/or transported cross-shore and alongshore (Dalyander and others, 2015). These fragments are angular near the source mat and become increasingly rounded as they are transported. To quantify SOA motion, the USGS conducted experiments in November 2016 (field activity number (FAN) 2016-364-DD) and June 2017 (FAN 2017-329-FA) using various size, shape, and density artificial sand and oil agglomerates (aSOAs). Video and velocity data were collected under a range of hydrodynamic forcing in the Small-Oscillatory Flow Tunnel at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) located in Stennis, Mississippi. Between November 14 and 18, 2016, laboratory studies were conducted on spherical- and patty-shaped particles on a roughened flat-bed. Two types of particles were used, one consisting of paraffin wax and sand while the other was machine fabricated out of aluminum and coated in sand. Between June 5 and 8, 2017, laboratory studies were conducted on spherical, patty, ellipsoidal, and angular-ellipsoidal particles using paraffin wax and sand, aluminum, and three-dimensional (3D) printed plastic particles.

P08_Oct2012_Oct2014: Hurricane Sandy Beach Response and Recovery at Fire Island, New York: Shoreline and Beach Profile Data, October 2012 to October 2014.

This spreadsheet consists of Fire Island, NY pre- and post- storm cross-shore profiles collected from October 2012 to October 2014. This dataset contains a set if cross-shore profiles covering 16 dates from October 28 2012 to October 07 2014. As part of the assessment of beach and dune morphologic change associated with Hurricane Sandy and the series of winter storms that followed, DGPS elevation data were collected along ten shore-perpendicular profiles extending from just inland of the crest of the dune to the low-tide swash zone. Profile elevations were surveyed one day prior to landfall (October 28, 2012), three and four days immediately after the storm (November 01/02 2012), and at monthly and bi-monthly intervals for 24 months (to October 2014) in order to capture both the initial impact of the event and the ongoing recovery of the beach system. Monitoring is ongoing, and this data series will be updated as future surveys are completed.

EAARL Coastal Topography--Cape Hatteras National Seashore, North Carolina, Post-Nor'Ida, 2009: Bare Earth

A digital elevation model (DEM) of a portion of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore in North Carolina, post-Nor'Ida (November 2009 nor'easter), was produced from remotely sensed, geographically referenced elevation measurements cooperatively by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the National Park Service (NPS). Elevation measurements were collected over the area using the Experimental Advanced Airborne Research Lidar (EAARL), a pulsed laser ranging system mounted onboard an aircraft to measure ground elevation, vegetation canopy, and coastal topography. The system uses high-frequency laser beams directed at the Earth's surface through an opening in the bottom of the aircraft's fuselage. The laser system records the time difference between emission of the laser beam and the reception of the reflected laser signal in the aircraft. The plane travels over the target area at approximately 50 meters per second at an elevation of approximately 300 meters, resulting in a laser swath of approximately 240 meters with an average point spacing of 2-3 meters. The EAARL, developed originally by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) at Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia, measures ground elevation with a vertical resolution of +/-15 centimeters. A sampling rate of 3 kilohertz or higher results in an extremely dense spatial elevation dataset. Over 100 kilometers of coastline can be surveyed easily within a 3- to 4-hour mission. When resultant elevation maps for an area are analyzed, they provide a useful tool to make management decisions regarding land development.

Sprague River Oregon Geomorphology, with assessment of return flow potential

The Klamath Basin Restoration Agreement (KBRA) was developed by a diverse group of stakeholders, 
Federal and State resource management agencies, Tribal representatives, and interest groups to provide 
a comprehensive solution to ecological and water-supply issues in the Klamath Basin. The Off-Project 
Water Program (OPWP), one component of the KBRA, has as one of its purposes to permanently provide 
an additional 30,000 acre-feet of water per year on an average annual basis to Upper Klamath Lake through 
“voluntary retirement of water rights or water uses or other means as agreed to by the Klamath Tribes, to 
improve fisheries habitat and also provide for stability of irrigation water deliveries.” The geographic area 
where the water rights could be retired encompasses approximately 1,900 square miles. The OPWP 
area is defined as including the Sprague River drainage, the Sycan River drainage downstream of Sycan 
Marsh, the Wood River drainage, and the Williamson River drainage from Kirk Reef at the southern end of 
Klamath Marsh downstream to the confluence with the Sprague River. Extensive, broad, flat, poorly drained 
uplands, valleys, and wetlands characterize much of the study area. Irrigation is almost entirely used for pasture.
    To assist parties involved with decisionmaking and implementation of the OPWP, the U.S. Geological 
Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Klamath Tribes and other stakeholders, created five hydrological 
information products. These products include GIS digital maps and datasets containing spatial information 
on evapotranspiration, subirrigation indicators, water rights, subbasin streamflow statistics, and return-flow 
indicators.

Location of sound velocity profiles collected by the U.S. Geological Survey off the southern shore of Martha's Vineyard, MA, 2007 (ESRI POINT SHAPEFILE, SVP)

The USGS Woods Hole Science Center conducted a nearshore geophysical survey offshore of the southern coast of Martha's Vineyard, in the vicinity of the Martha's Vineyard Coastal Observatory (MVCO) in August 2007.  This mapping program was part of a larger research effort supporting the Office of Naval Research (ONR) Ripples Directed-Research Initiative (DRI) studies at MVCO by providing data collection and modeling.  The geophysical data will be used to provide initial conditions for wave and circulation models for the study area.  Ultimately, geophysical mapping, oceanographic measurements and modeling will help to improve our understanding of coastal sediment-transport processes.
The geophysical mapping utilized a suite of high-resolution instrumentation to map the surficial sediment distribution, depth and sub-surface geology: dual-frequency 100/500 KHz sidescan-sonar system, 234-KHz interferometric sonar, and 500 Hz -12 KHz chirp sub-bottom profiler. The survey was conducted aboard the M/V Megan Miller August 9-13, 2007. The study area covers 35 square kilometers from about 0.2 km to 5-km offshore of the south shore of Martha's Vineyard, and ranges in depth from ~ 5 to 20 meters.

Mean annual water-budget components for the Island of Oahu, Hawaii, for drought conditions, 1998-2002 rainfall and 2010 land cover (version 2.0)

The shapefile associated with this metadata file represents the spatial distribution of mean annual 
water-budget components, in inches, for the Island of Oahu, Hawaii. The water-budget components 
in the shapefile were computed by a water-budget model for a scenario representative of drought 
conditions (1998–2002 rainfall) and 2010 land cover, as described in USGS Scientific Investigations 
Report (SIR) 2015-5010. The model was developed for estimating groundwater recharge and other 
water-budget components for each subarea of the model. The model subareas were generated using 
Esri ArcGIS software by intersecting (merging) multiple spatial data sets that characterize the spatial 
distribution of rainfall, fog interception, irrigation, reference evapotranspiration, direct runoff, soil type, 
and land cover. These spatial data sets characterize the spatial distribution of hydrologic and physical 
conditions that the model uses to compute groundwater recharge and other water-budget components.
The model-subarea data set (387,533 polygons) was subsequently intersected with the 0-ft elevation 
contour of the top of the basalt aquifer to produce the 395,955 polygons in this shapefile. This metadata 
file describes the process of merging these spatial data sets,  The shapefile attribute information 
associated with each polygon present an estimate of mean annual rainfall, fog interception, irrigation, 
septic-system leachate, runoff, canopy evaporation, actual evapotranspiration, storm-drain capture, 
net precipitation, total evapotranspiration, recharge, and seepage from reservoirs and cesspools. This 
shapefile also includes select geographic and land-cover attributes of the polygons. Brief descriptions 
of the water-budget components and attributes are included in this metadata file. Refer to 
USGS SIR 2015-5010 for further details of the methods and sources used to determine these 
components and attributes.

Streamflow gain/loss in the Republican River Basin, Nebraska, October 1980

This arc and point data set contains streamflow-measurement sites and
reaches indicating streamflow gain or loss under base-flow conditions
along the Republican River and tributaries in Nebraska during October
20 to 21, 1980 (U.S. Geological Survey, 1982).  The streamflow measurements
were made to obtain data on ground-water/surface-water interaction.
Flow was observed visually to be zero, was measured, or was estimated
at 118 sites.  The measurements were made on the main stem of the Republican
River and all flowing tributaries that enter the Republican River between
Harlan County Reservoir and the Republican River near Hardy, Nebraska gaging
station in part of the Republican River Basin, Nebraska.  Tributaries were
followed upstream until the first road crossing where zero flow was encountered.
For selected streams, points of zero flow upstream of the first zero flow site
also were checked.
		
Streamflow gain or loss for each stream reach was calculated by
subtracting the streamflow values measured at the upstream end of
the reach and values for contributing tributaries from the
downstream value.  The data obtained reflected base-flow conditions
suitable for estimating streamflow gains and losses for
stream reaches between sites.
		
This digital data set was created by manually splitting the lines
from a 1:250,000 hydrography data set (Soenksen and others, 1999) at
every streamflow-measurement site.  Each set of stream segments between
measurement sites was assigned a unique reach number.
