Digital elevation model (DEM) of northern San Francisco Bay, California, created using bathymetry data collected between 1999 and 2016 (MLLW)

A 1-m  resolution, continuous surface, bathymetric digital elevation model (DEM) of the northern portion of San Francisco Bay, which includes San Pablo Bay, Carquinez Strait, and portions of Suisun Bay, was constructed from bathymetric surveys collected from 1999 to 2016.
        In 2014 and 2015 the California Ocean Protection Council (OPC) contracted the collection of bathymetric surveys of large portions of San Francisco Bay. A total of 93 surveys were collected using a combination of multibeam and interferometric side-scan sonar systems. Of those 93 surveys, 75 consist of swaths of data ranging from 18- to just over 100-meters wide. These swaths were separated by data gaps ranging from 10- to just over 300-meters wide. The no-data areas required interpolation to create a continuous surface. The OPC surveys were combined with additional datasets collected by the United States Geological Survey (USGS), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), NOAA’s National Ocean Service (NOS), and the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to create a continuous, high-resolution digital elevation model (DEM). The creation of this DEM refines techniques developed by the USGS to create DEMs from historic bathymetric data, and allow for the creation of a modern-day bathymetric surface that can be compared to earlier surveys to delineate regions of sediment erosion and deposition.

ENOA--water balance events summary

This tabular dataset includes precipitation data, inflow and outflow  data, and other associated data for a bioretention garden in Douglas County, Nebraska. At the Eastern Nebraska Office on Aging (ENOA) bioretention garden the components of the water balance that were measured or calculated were precipitation volume, stormwater inflow volume to bioretention garden, were overflow volume, and evapotranspiration. The performance of the bioretention gardens was evaluated for a series of rainfall events. The start of an event was determined based on when rainfall began at the site. The end of an event was determined based on when the water level was equal to zero in the stilling well of the inflow flume or when the water level in the bioretention garden was zero, whichever occurred last. Evapotranspiration components were not used in the event-based analysis because this analysis was used to characterize the reduction in stormwater volume and peak discharges to the storm sewer system primarily during time periods of overflow, and these components take place over longer time periods. Change in storage was also excluded from the event-based analyses because time periods were selected to represent rainfall events such that the change in storage of ponded water was always zero.

ENOA--meterology and ET

This tabular dataset includes measurements of net radiation, air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, and calculated reference evapotranspiration (ET0) for a bioretention garden in Douglas County, Nebraska. To determine the amount of water that was lost to the atmosphere, evapotranspiration (ET) was calculated at the Eastern Nebraska Office on Aging (ENOA) bioretention garden by scaling the reference evapotranspiration (ET0) by a landscape coefficient. Measurements of net radiation, air temperature, relative humidity, and wind speed were used to calculate daily ET0 using the Penman-Monteith equation (Monteith and Unsworth, 1990; Allen and others, 1998). Reference evapotranspiration represents ET, in inches, over a well-watered grass of uniform height that completely shades the ground (Allen and others, 1998). To adjust the ET0 to represent the actual ET of the bioretention gardens, a weighted landscape coefficient (KL) was used (Costello and others, 2000).

DCHC--water balance events summary

This tabular dataset includes precipitation data, inflow and outflow  data, and other associated data for a bioretention garden in Douglas County, Nebraska. At the Douglas County Health Center (DCHC) biorentention garden the general monitoring design corresponded to a water balance approach to characterize the inputs, outputs, and change in storage within the bioretention gardens. The components of the water balance that were measured or calculated were precipitation volume, stormwater inflow volume to bioretention garden, overflow volume, and evapotranspiration. The performance of the bioretention gardens was evaluated for a series of rainfall events. The start of an event was determined based on when rainfall began at the site. The end of an event was determined based on when the water level was equal to zero in the stilling well of the inflow flume or when the water level in the bioretention garden was zero, whichever occurred last. Evapotranspiration components were not used in the event-based analysis because this analysis was used to characterize the reduction in stormwater volume and peak discharges to the storm sewer system primarily during time periods of overflow, and these components take place over longer time periods.

Hakalau Forest NWR plant, soil, litter, and decomposition data 2015-2019

This data release includes data and metadata on litterfall rates, foliar nitrogen and carbon, grass biomass, soil nitrogen and carbon, and native outplant survival rates for an experiment that added large quantities of woody litter to a restoration forest in an attempt to lower soil nitrogen and exotic grass biomass. All sites were within Hakalau Forest National Wildlife Refuge on Hawaii Island.  Broadly, this study looked at the ability to alter soil nitrogen cycling, exotic grass biomass and native outplant survival with large quantities of Metrosideros polymorpha litter in a forest dominated by Acacia koa.

Umpqua River Basin Geomorphic Mapping: Little Wolf, Slide, and South Fork Calapooya Creeks, 2014

Interactions between geomorphic processes at multiple scales shape the distributions of habitats, species, and life stages that a river can support. Understanding these hierarchical processes may be helpful for proactive monitoring and restoration of native Western Brook Lamprey (Lampetra richardsoni) and Pacific Lamprey (Entosphenus tridentatus) in Pacific Northwest rivers. The processes creating thick, fine-grained sediment deposits that lamprey larvae rely on as rearing habitat were assessed in part through field sampling in the Umpqua River basin, southwestern Oregon, USA. Local factors, such as substrate, boulders, wood, and water, that control sediment erosion and deposition, affecting larval lamprey habitat, were systematically mapped with a total station at the reach-scale for two reaches along Little Wolf, Slide, and South Fork Calapooya Creeks in the Umpqua River Basin, southwest Oregon.
This overall dataset includes: 1) GIS layers defining the extent and grain-size of substrate patches, extent of the wetted water surface, locations of boulders, and locations of large wood for all six study reaches that are included in a file geodatabase, 2) a csv file of the raw particle counts used to determine the grain size of the sediment patches, and 3) a csv file of the lengths of larval lamprey detected in the reaches. The datasets were developed by completing geomorphic and larval lamprey surveys in 2014. This documentation describes the geomorphic mapping feature classes for the Lower and Upper reaches of Little Wolf, Slide, and South Fork Calapooya Creeks from the geomorphic surveys.

Statewide geodatabase layers for Puerto Rico StreamStats

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Puerto Rico Environmental Quality Board, has compiled a series of geospatial datasets for Puerto Rico to be implemented into the USGS StreamStats application (https://streamstats.usgs.gov/ss/). These geospatial datasets, along with basin characteristics datasets for Puerto Rico published as a separate USGS data release (https://doi.org/10.5066/P9HK9SSQ), were used to delineate watersheds and develop the peak-flow and low-flow regression equations used by StreamStats. The geodatabase described herein are the seven layers: BatchPoint, huc_net_Junctions, HUCLongestFlowPath, hucpoly, Point3D, Slp1085Point, StreamLayer, streams, and Streams3D.

Physical characteristics of pallid sturgeon and shovelnose sturgeon eggs

This dataset describes the diameter, settling velocity, and specific gravity of eggs from 9 female pallid sturgeon and 14 female shovelnose sturgeon as determined in laboratory studies.  Pallid sturgeon and shovelnose sturgeon are believed to broadcast demersal eggs in the current, near the river bed over coarse substrate.  It is hypothesized that eggs settle immediately following fertilization, but field conditions preclude direct observation.  The dispersal of sturgeon eggs is affected by physical properties of the eggs and hydraulic conditions at the spawning location.
