High-resolution image sequence from the Salcha River, Alaska, August 31, 2018, for Particle Image Velocimetry

This data release consists of a sequence of high spatial resolution optical images used to derive remotely sensed estimates of surface flow velocity via particle image velocimetry (PIV).  These data were acquired from the Salcha River in Alaska on August 31, 2018, along with field measurements of flow velocity used to assess the accuracy of image-derived velocity estimates.  The images were obtained using a Hasselblad A6D-100C 100 megapixel digital mapping camera deployed within a pod mounted on the landing gear of a Robinson R44 helicopter.  Image sequences were acquired at a frame rate of 1 per second (1 Hz) while the helicopter hovered in a fixed location approximately 200 m above the river. Also within the pod was an ATLANS GPS/Inertial Motion Unit (IMU) that recorded the position and orientation of the platform during the flight.  This information was used to geo-reference the images by performing aerial triangulation and bundle adjustment within the SimActive Correlator3D software package.  The bundle adjustment phase of this process also incorporated surveyed ground control targets that were placed in the field and were visible in the images.  The resulting orthorectified images had a spatial resolution (pixel size) of 0.018 m and effectively stabilized the image sequence prior to PIV analysis.  The images were converted to grayscale and saved as TIF files with corresponding world files (*.tfw) that contain the spatial referencing information for each image; the projected coordinate system is UTM Zone 6N, NAD83.  The sequence consists of 68 individual images representing over one minute of data collection.  The entire sequnce of TIF images and worldfiles is contained within a zip archive.

DIDSON video collection of Coastal Lake Erie Wetland, Lucas Co, Ohio in 2011

The data set includes quantitative fish abundance counts estimated from video data files collected by a Dual-frequency IDentification SONar (DIDSON) placed at the junction of a water control structure located between Pool 2B and Crane Creek (41.62133N, -83.20769W) within Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge (Lucas County, Ohio).  One-hour-long video data files were used to estimate fish activity in a restored coastal wetland within Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge in the Western Basin of Lake Erie. Over 800 video hours of fish movement were recorded at the fully open fish passage structure; 136 video data files were chosen at random to represent the full video data file set and are available upon request.
Fish counts from the DIDSON video data files using four different methods are provided, comparing two semi-automated and two manual counting methods. Fish tracking software Echoview paired with an "Automod" script from Milne Technologies (Keene, Ontario, Canada) as well as DIDSON viewer software were used to semi-automate the fish counting process and estimate the total number of fish passing through the structure within a video hour. Manual counts were performed by individuals counting fish from video playback given a specific set of criteria to follow for either the full hour of playback or a set of three two-minute intervals.
In addition to the count data, calculated values of percent differences are included offering a comparison of the semi-automated and manual count values. Environmental data (turbidity) associated with the time periods captured in the video data files are also included.

Population genetic and climatic variability data across western North America, 1915-2015

Environmental Analysis Data: These data were compiled to investigate the complex interactions between environmental gradients and geographic distance across the Intermountain West of the western United States. Due to complex topography, physiographic heterogeneity, and complicated relationships with large bodies of water, spatial autocorrelation of environmental similarity may be expected. We provide an R script (VarioAnalysis.R) that uses four associated data files (annualprecip.csv, annualSWA.csv, annualtemp.csv, key.csv) to reproduce Figure 3 in Massatti et al. 2020 (see Larger Work Citation). The data files contain information on yearly soil water availability, temperature, and precipitation, which are summed or averaged and used to test autocorrelations using semi variograms. There is also a shapefile (see Source Data) and raster (RasterbySiteID.tif) that ties all of the site-specific information together and places data into a spatial context. The script and data were developed, extracted, and/or compiled by R.K. Shriver. Genetic Analysis Data: These data were compiled to assess the relationship between genetic differentiation and geographic distance in the Intermountain West of the western United States. Included are 14 files: 13 tab-delimited text files that detail species-specific data and one R script (czi.R) that uses data within the 13 files to reproduce Figures 1 and 2 in Massatti et al. 2020 (see Larger Work Citation). Species-specific files include site names, location information (latitude/longitude), and information on which genetic population each site belongs to according to the original publication document (see Table 1 in the Larger Work Citation). The R script is annotated to provide important information regarding how the analyses work and how they can be modified if users want to tailor analyses to other geographic regions. The script and data were developed, extracted, and/or compiled by R. Massatti.

Modeled effects of depth and semidiurnal temperature fluctuations on predictions of year that coral reef locations reach annual severe bleaching for various global climate model projections

Using global climate model projections of sea-surface temperature at coral reef sites, we modeled the effects of depth and exposure to semidiurnal temperature fluctuations to examine how these effects may alter the projected year of annual severe bleaching for coral reef sites globally. Here we present the first global maps of the effects these processes have on bleaching projections for three IPCC-AR5 emissions scenarios.

Time-domain electromagnetic soundings to delineate saline groundwater in the Genesee valley-fill aquifer system, New York (2016-2017)

In October and November 2016-2017, transient electromagnetic (TEM) data, also called time domain electromagnetic (TDEM) surveys, were acquired at 120 locations in the Genesee Valley, Livingston County, New York, in order to characterize the subsurface resistivity structure in support of a U.S. Geological Survey groundwater investigation. The TEM data were collected as part of a project to evaluate geophysical methods to characterize the valley-fill sediments, underlying bedrock, and salinity of the subsurface. TEM data were collected using an ABEM WalkTEM unit (acquisition software V 1.1.0 and newer) using two transmitter loop (Tx) sizes, 100 by 100 meters square and 40 by 40 meters square, a center-loop receiver (Rx) that is 0.5 by 0.5 square meters in size (with an effective area of 35 m^2), and dual currents of about 2 and 11 amperes (A). In addition, a second center-loop receiver, 10 by 10 meters square in size (with an effective area of 1400 m^2) was used. Both receivers were centered and concentrically nested inside the Tx loop. The Tx measurement cycles were stacked 10 times, and 1-5 measurements were taken at each site. Multiple surveys collected at the same location were stacked, filtered, and averaged for each Tx current and set of Rx measurements. This data release includes the raw and processed TEM data and inverted soundings showing resistivity (in ohm-m) with depth.

Model parameter input files to compare wave-averaged versus wave-resolving XBeach coastal flooding models for coral reef-lined coasts

This data release includes the XBeach input data files used to evaluate the importance of explicitly modeling sea-swell waves for runup. This was examined using a 2D XBeach short wave-averaged (surfbeat, XB-SB) and a wave-resolving (non-hydrostatic, XB-NH) model of Roi-Namur Island on Kwajalein Atoll in the Republic of Marshall Islands. Results show that explicitly modelling the sea-swell component (using XB-NH) provides a better approximation of the observed runup than XB-SB (which only models the time-variation of the sea-swell wave height), despite good model performance of both models on reef flat water levels and wave heights. However, both models under-predict runup peaks. The difference between XB-SB and XB-NH increases for more extreme wave events and higher sea levels, as XB-NH resolves individual waves and therefore captures SS-wave motions in runup. However, for even larger forcing conditions with offshore wave heights of 6 m, the island is flooded in both XB-SB and XB-NH computations, regardless of the sea-swell wave energy contribution. In such cases, XB-SB would be adequate to model flooding depths and extents on the island while requiring 4-5 times less computational effort.
These input files accompany the modeling for following publication: Quataert, E., Storlazzi, C., van Dongeren, A., and McCall, R., 2020, The importance of explicitly modeling sea-swell waves for runup on reef-lined coasts: Coastal Engineering, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.coastaleng.2020.103704

Digital Terrain Model to Support Modeling of Lahars Originating on the West Side of Mount Rainier, Washington

This digital elevation model contains ground surface elevations for the valleys of rivers draining the west side of Mount Rainier, Washington. Elevations are mostly from the 1/9th arc-second (approximately 3 meter) resolution U.S. Geological Survey National Elevation Dataset (NED). The NED data were projected to the Universal Transverse Mercator Zone 10 coordinate system and mosaicked to form a single elevation grid of the study area.
In the area of Alder Lake and La Grande Reservoir, along the Nisqually River, water surface elevations were replaced with approximations of lake-bed elevations. The bed elevation of Alder Lake is based mostly on bathymetry collected in 2010 and 2011 but is locally based on supplemental contours from the USGS 1:62,500 scale Ohop Valley quadrangle (1944), which was surveyed before the dam was built. Bed elevations of La Grande Reservoir are theoretical and were estimated by assuming parabolic cross sections along a thalweg whose elevation decreases linearly downstream.
Along the Puyallup River in Orting, a new setback levee was constructed in 2014 and parts of the old levee were removed. The NED topography was modified using surveyed elevations along the new levee and the removed sections of the old levee were replaced with elevations based on the adjacent land surface as represented in a 2011 lidar-derived terrain model.

Data associated with the investigation of suitable habitat for the endangered plant Harperella (Ptilimnium nodosum Rose) in the Potomac River near Hancock Maryland

In lieu of a uniform mapping of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park corridor at very high-resolution using UAS, this study developed a multi-scale workflow, where (1) geospatial modeling methods and (2) historic image analysis were used to constrain the areal extent of (3) detailed field and unmanned aerial systems (UAS) observation. 
1_Geospatial Modeling Methods: Harperella habitat characteristics reported by literature sources and corroborated by extremely limited harperella occurrence data (in the form of GPS locations), were compiled into a geospatial prediction model (GPM) to characterize the extent of harperella habitat for the region between Sideling Hill Wildlife Management Area and Harper’s Ferry National Park. 
2_Historical Image Analysis: Analysis consisted of visual examination and manual delineation of in-channel bars within the Potomac River and its larger tributaries, including the Cacapon River, lower Tonoloway Creek, Sleepy Creek, lower Lick Run, and Back Creek. This manual delineation was conducted for several dates of historic aerial imagery, including 2009, 2011, 2013, 2016, and 2017. Persistence of different parts of the in-channel bars over time was mapped by intersecting the 5 years of interpretations. 
3_UAS image acqusition of AOIs: UAS imagery was collected to facilitate detailed observation, terrain modeling, and documentation of 10 AOIs (shown in figure). National Park Service regulations restrict the take-off and landing of UAS on park property, so the edge of in-channel bars within the Potomac River was used to enable line-of-sight UAS image acquisition covering the entire AOI. The USGS and the Aerial Vision Group, LLC sought permission to fly a small UAS from both the Maryland and West Virginia Department of Natural Resources (DNR). DEM and Orthophoto datasets are available by request - please email jdewitt@usgs.gov
