A remote sensing approach to characterize winter water level drawdown patterns in lakes

This data release consists of four datasets that were used for evaluating winter drawdown  patterns in 166 Massachusetts lakes greater than 0.3 km2 surface area. The first dataset (“Water area and level.csv”) provides water area and water level time series data of 166 lakes from 2016 to 2021. Water area and water level time-series data were derived from European Space Agency’s Sentinel 1 synthetic aperture radar satellite sensor using the JavaScript code in Google Earth Engine platform. Details of this code were described in the software release (https://doi.org/10.5066/P9ZA5I1U). The second dataset (“Water area interpolated.csv”) is the linearly-interpolated daily water area time series data of the 166 lakes from the first dataset that were used in winter drawdown classification model as input files. The third dataset (“Winter drawdown classification.csv”) is the winter drawdown classification model derived binary classification (1 for winter drawdown and 0 for non-winter drawdown) of 166 lakes for 5 years (2016–2021). The fourth dataset (“Winter drawdown metrics_2016.csv”, “Winter drawdown metrics_2017.csv”, “Winter drawdown metrics_2018.csv”, (“Winter drawdown metrics_2019.csv”, and “Winter drawdown metrics_2020.csv”) are the winter drawdown metrics such as timing, duration, and magnitude of drawdown derived for the winter drawdown lakes from the water area time series (second dataset) for 5 years. The codes used for the classification model and drawdown metrics are also available in the software release (https://doi.org/10.5066/P9ZA5I1U).

1-m Bathymetric Grid Generated from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Survey H12007 in the Vicinity of Cross Rip Channel, Nantucket Sound (H12007_UTM, UTM Zone 19, NAD83)

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), is producing detailed geologic maps of the coastal sea floor. Bathymetry, originally collected by NOAA for charting purposes, provides a fundamental framework for research and management activities off southern New England, shows the character and terrain of the seabed, and provides information on sediment transport and benthic habitat. During April-May 2009 NOAA completed hydrographic survey H12007 in the vicinity of Cross Rip Channel in Nantucket Sound off southern Cape Cod, Massachusetts and during June 2011 bottom photographs and surficial sediment data were acquired as part of ground-truth reconnaissance surveys of this area. Interpretations were derived from the multibeam echo-sounder data and the ground-truth data used to verify them.

Grain size and charcoal abundance in sediment samples from Los Padres reservoir, Carmel River watershed, California

Sediment samples were collected from Los Padres reservoir in the Carmel River watershed, central California coast, between July 11 and 17, 2017, using a CME-45 barge-mounted drill rig, to characterize sedimentary properties in the reservoir deposits following the Soberanes Fire of 2016 and high river flows in winter 2017. Borehole samples were recovered using direct push coring with an Osterberg piston sampler operated by Taber Drilling Company of Sacramento, California, and overseen by AECOM, Inc. Sediment was recovered using a split-barrel sampler and a rotary drill bit was added to the sampler where needed to penetrate coarse sediment. Samples from four boreholes are described in this data release: three sampled at multiple sediment depths (B2, B3, and B7) and a fourth (B4) from which only the topmost sample is included. Each borehole was drilled to the depth of apparent pre-dam alluvium or bedrock. Alternate sections were described and sampled; every second section was discarded without examination. Sediment samples were analyzed for grain size and charcoal abundance at the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) laboratories in Santa Cruz, California. This data set complements data analyzed and presented by AECOM, Inc., for the Los Padres Alternatives Study Technical Memorandum prepared for the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District in October 2017 (https://www.mpwmd.net/asd/board/committees/watersupply/2018/20180123/02/Item-2-Exh-C.pdf). The USGS gratefully acknowledges collaboration with B. Kozlowicz of AECOM in the collection of these data.

An Unvegetated to Vegetated Ratio (UVVR) for coastal wetlands of the Gulf of Mexico Coast - 2000

Prior research has shown that sediment budgets, and therefore stability, of microtidal marsh complexes scale with areal unvegetated to vegetated marsh ratios (UVVR) suggesting these metrics are broadly applicable indicators of microtidal marsh vulnerability. This effort has developed the UVVR metric using readily available satellite imagery for the coastal areas of the contiguous United States (CONUS). These datasets provide annual averages of the 1) unvegetated fraction, 2) vegetated fraction, 3) water fraction and 4) an unvegetated to vegetated ratio (UVVR) at 30-meter resolution over the coastal areas of the contiguous United States for the year 2000. Additionally, multi-year average values of vegetated ratio, its standard deviation and a UVVR based on the annually-averaged vegetated ratio are provided for the coastal wetlands of the contiguous United States.

Geotagged Low-Altitude Aerial Imagery From Unmanned Aerial Systems Flights Over Town Neck Beach, in Sandwich, Massachusetts, on September 18, 2017

Low-altitude (80-100 meters above ground level) digital images of Town Neck Beach in Sandwich, Massachusetts, were obtained from a camera mounted on a small unmanned aerial system (UAS; also known as a drone). Imagery was collected at close to low tide to observe changes in beach and dune morphology. The images were geolocated by using the single-frequency geographic positioning system aboard the UAS. Ground control points (GCPs) were established by using temporary targets on the ground, which were located by using a real-time kinematic global navigation satellite system (RTK-GNSS) base station and rovers. The GCPs can be used as constraints during photogrammetric processing. Transect points were collected by using the same RTK-GNSS system; these can be used to evaluate photogrammetric products. This data release includes georeferenced images, image-location files, GCPs, and transect points. Collection of these data was supported by the U.S. Geological Survey Coastal and Marine Geology Program and were conducted under USGS field activity numbers 2017-005-FA, 2017-008-FA, 2017-010-FA, 2017-014-FA, 2017-027-FA, 2017-029-FA, and 2017-050-FA.

Three dimensional coordinates of multibeam sonar data of the channel bed collected in the Green River in Echo Park and in or near Island Park, Dinosaur National Monument

These data were compiled to determine the rate and magnitude of channel-planform change, and the topographic change of the channel and floodplain in Echo, Island, and Rainbow Parks within Dinosaur National Monument between the 1990s and 2019. The objective(s) of our study were to analyze geomorphic change within Echo, Island, and Rainbow Parks to determine the magnitude and style of channel change with respect to the past two decades of combined streamflow from Flaming Gorge Dam and the relatively unregulated Yampa River. These data represent river channel planform delineations made within a geographic information system, and topographic channel and floodplain data collected using total stations, depth sounders, Real-Time Kinematic GNSS, and multibeam sonar. These data were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey, Southwest Biological Science Center, Grand Canyon Monitoring &amp; Research Center in June 2012 and 2019.

Nitrogen and phosphorus from fertilizer and manure in the Chesapeake Bay watershed, 1950-2012

This dataset contains four tables of estimates of the yearly sum of nitrogen and phosphorus inputs from fertilizer applications and from manure applications in selected watersheds in Chesapeake Bay drainage basin from 1950 to 2012. For the fertilizer data, county-level loads were used from three published sources. Data from 1950 to 1985 are from Alexander and Smith (1990). Data for the year 1986 are from Battaglin and Goolsby (1995). Data from 1987 through 2012 are from Brakebill, Gronberg, and Spahr (2016). These data were used in conjunction with 30-meter resolution land cover data from the National Land Cover Dataset for the year 2001 to distribute county-level fertilizer loads to cropland and summed by NHDPlus Version 1 catchments. Manure nutrient mass data for the Census of Agriculture years from 1950 to 2012 are from Gronberg and Arnold (2017). Formulae for calculating nitrogen and phosphorus mass per animal unit were also used from the Brakebill and Gronberg report. These data were used in conjunction with 30-meter resolution land cover data from the National Land Cover Dataset for the year 2001 to distribute county-level manure loads to pasture land and summed by NHDPlus Version 1 catchments. Eight digit hydrologic unit code identifiers are also included.

Estimated Use of Water by Subbasin (HUC8) in the Red River Basin, 2010 and 2015

The Red River basin is one of several national "focus area studies" in the U.S. Geological Survey National Water Census.The objective of the National Water Census is to provide nationally-consistent base layers of well-documented data that account for water availability and use nationally. A focus area study (FAS) is a stakeholder-driven assessment of water availability in river basins with known or potential conflict. The Red River basin covers more than 93,000 square miles with a population of over 4 million people. Water resources in the basin are being stressed by increasing water demands and increasingly severe droughts. The results of the FAS will facilitate better management of water resources for human use and help maintain ecological flows in the basin.
The Red River FAS is a comprehensive water-resource assessment of the basin, which is needed to enable sustainable water use. The Red River FAS is organized around four study components that are intended to improve the quality and accessibility of water information in the basin, and to advance technical water assessment capabilities: water use, groundwater, rainfall-runoff (surface water) model, and ecological flows. This data release is a component of the water use assessment. The dataset contains estimates of water withdrawals from the Red River basin in the states of Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas based on drainage basins delineated by 8-digit hydrologic unit codes (HUC8s). The dataset includes groundwater and surface-water withdrawals for public supply, domestic, irrigation, thermoelectric power, industrial, mining, livestock and aquaculture water-use categories. The dataset is a refinement of the 2010 and 2015 data compiled at the county level for the United States Geological Survey (USGS) National Water Use Science Project. Additionally, these data complement and support the USGS Web application located at: https://webapps.usgs.gov/watercensus/redriver_fas/wateruse.html.
