StreamCat - National Nutrient Inventory (StreamCatNNI)

Publication of EPA’s Nutrient Inventory is a critical step towards thorough mapping and accounting of sources of N and P to US landscapes. However, summaries of nutrients within accumulative watersheds are needed to develop accurate watershed-level nutrient budgets and relate landscape inputs to instream nutrient concentrations. This subproduct will accumulate the Nutrient Inventory across available years for all streams and lakes within the medium resolution National Hydrography Dataset Plus version 2 (NHDPlus), i.e., 2.6 million stream segments and nearly 400,000 lakes across the conterminous US. These data will allow OW to easily and rapidly identify the dominant sources of N or P for any stream segment or lake in the US. Further, these data will be made accessible through the EPA’s StreamCat and LakeCat datasets and a soon-to-be released online database and an application programming interface (API). This database and API will make nutrient watershed accumulations readily accessible and easily integrated by a variety of OW programs and tools. Finally, the accumulated nutrient data will serve as the basis for a multiple proposed StRAP subproducts and models in SSWR.401, SSWR.404, and SSWR.405. These data will contribute directly to OW, region, and state efforts to identify and reduce non-point nutrient sources.  Having spatially explicit data about nutrient sources and loads can help target and inform restoration and conservation efforts, as well as more formal TMDLs, nutrient reduction plans, and groundwater management approaches. This subproduct will produce a database of accumulated nutrient values for at least 2.6 million stream segments and 400,000 lakes of the medium resolution National Hydrography Dataset Plus version 2 (NHDPlus). These data will be made accessible through the StreamCat and LakeCat datasets. They will also be made available as an online database with application programming interface (API) that will facilitate data acquisition and use by OW and state partners. This database will provide a state-of-the science accounting of nutrient sources that drain to all streams and lakes in the conterminous US. It will allow EPA and state partners to identify dominant sources of N and P to individual waterbodies and will greatly facilitate nutrient reduction strategies and planning.

National Health and Aging Trends Study (NHATS) – Vision and Eye Health Surveillance System (VEHSS)

VEHSS analyzed NHATS public use data to calculate the prevalence of visual acuity and contrast sensitivity loss. Data are based on NHATS round 12, which was collected in 2022. We defined subgroup thresholds based on the VEHSS case definitions for Vision Loss and Blindness.

NHATS is a health examination survey conducted on a nationally representative sample of Medicare beneficiaries aged 65 years and older. Surveys are conducted each year through in-person interviews. Vision-related tests of distance acuity, near-distance acuity, and contrast sensitivity are conducted with the aid of a computer tablet. Because participants wear their usual eyewear for vision assessments, acuity estimates are based on presenting acuity. 

These data are also available in the VEHSS Data Explorer, and interactive data visualization tool reporting prevalence information from more than 10 data sources: https://www.cdc.gov/vision-health-data/index.html

SARSCoV2 UVC Manuscript Data May 2025

Motivated by the COVID-19 pandemic, research was conducted to evaluate UVC radiation emitting devices that are potentially capable of inactivating SARS-CoV-2 on surfaces found in the built environment to augment chemical-based surface disinfection approaches. In this study, we evaluated the efficacy of a board-spectrum pulsed xenon light, a continuous UVC light-emitting diode (LED), and a Far UV light source against SARS-CoV-2. Experiments were conducted with the SARS-CoV-2 virus inoculated in either tissue culture media or simulated saliva onto porous and nonporous surfaces (three materials total). The dataset contains the log10 recoveries of SARS-CoV-2 (TCID50/sample) and calculated Log10 reductions for all tests.

Benthic Habitats and Surficial Geology of Apalachicola Bay, Florida 2006 Geodatabase

These data were collected under a cooperative mapping program between the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Office for Coastal Management (NOAA\OCM), and the Apalachicola National Estuarine Research Reserve (NERR). The primary objectives of this program were to collect marine geophysical data to develop a suite of seafloor maps to better define the extent of oyster habitats, the overall seafloor geology of the bay and provide updated information for management of this resource. In addition to their value for management of the bay's oyster resources, the maps also provide a geologic framework for scientific research and the public.

High-resolution bathymetry, backscatter intensity, and seismic profile data were collected over 230 square kilometers of the floor of the bay. The study focused on the Apalachicola Bay and Western St. George Sound portions of the estuary in mostly in depths > 2.0 meters.

Coastal Bend Texas Benthic Habitat - Lower Laguna Madre 2004 Biotic

In 2006 and 2007 the NOAA Office for Coastal Management purchased services to process existing digital multi-spectral imagery (ADS-40) and create digital benthic habitat data from this imagery for selected Texas coastal bend bays.  The Center worked cooperatively with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) and the Texas A&M University Center for Coastal Studies to develop benthic habitat data, primarily Submerged Aquatic Vegetation (SAV) for several coastal bays.  This data will support the state's recently adopted Seagrass Monitoring Program which calls for regional mapping of SAV for status and trends assessment.  The Center, Texas A&M, and TPWD have coordinated on the requirements of this project.

2017 Vessel Transit Counts by Type

Automatic Identification Systems (AIS) are a navigation safety device that transmits and monitors the location and characteristics of many vessels in U.S. and international waters in real-time. In the U.S. the Coast Guard and industry collect AIS data, which can also be used for a variety of coastal planning purposes. NOAA and BOEM have worked jointly to re-task and make available some of the most important records from the U.S. Coast Guard's national network of AIS receivers. This dataset represents annual vessel transit counts summarized at a 100 m by 100 m geographic area. A single transit is counted each time a vessel track passes through, starts, or stops within a 100 m grid cell.

This record represents the metadata for each of these vessel types: Cargo, Fishing, Passenger, Pleasure Craft and Sailing, Tanker, and Tug and Towing.
