Historical Prescribed Burn Windows for the Southeast United States 1950-1999

Prescribed burning is a critical tool for managing wildfire risks and meeting ecological objectives, but its safe and effective application requires that specific meteorological criteria are met. This dataset contains results from a study examining the potential impacts of projected climatic change on prescribed burning in the southeastern United States. A set of burn window criteria (suitable weather conditions within which burning may occur based on maximum daily temperature, daily average relative humidity, and daily average wind speed), were applied to projections from an ensemble of Global Climate Models (GCM) under two greenhouse gas emission scenarios, as well as past observations for comparison. Data are provided as decadal output for observed conditions, and for individual GCM results for the historical climate scenario and the two future climate scenarios are provided. In addition, summary statistics (e.g., multi-model mean, and for selected quantiles) are provided for the GCM ensemble as a whole by decade.

Ten Largest Annual Instantaneous Floods and Seasonal Signal for Reference Streamgages in the United States, Water Years 1966-2015

These data describe the 10-largest annual, instantaneous flood peaks and corresponding dates of those largest floods for 473 streamgages in the Hydro-Climatic Data Network (HCDN) HCDN-2009 (Lins, 2012) network; they are also the data and results used in the companion manuscript by Collins, M.J, Hodgkins, G.A., Archfield, S.A., and Hirsch, R.M, under review, "The occurrence of large floods in the United States in the modern hydroclimate regime: seasonality, trends, and large-scale climate associations," and submitted to Water Resources Research. The HCDN-2009 (Lins, 2012) network is a subset of streamgages classified as unimpaired to the extent possible that any upstream regulation or urbanization could be evaluated. From this network, the set of streamgages was further narrowed based on their completeness of record and according to the criteria used in Hodgkins et al. (2019) and Dudley et al (2018), which requires that each decade of annual flood peaks have at least 8 observations or 80 percent completeness in each decade. Of the 473 streamgages, 386 streamgages overlapped with those streamgages classified by McCabe and Wolock (2014) into 14 geographically-coherent clusters that correspond to climatic and physiographic regions across the country and are noted in the dataset. These clusters were used to determine months with flood-rich or flood-poor months, also reported in the data release. For those streamgages not included in McCabe and Wolock (2014), streamgages were assigned to one of the 14 classes by applying the methods outlined in their paper. The metadata includes an attribute column to denote which streamgages fall into this category and which streamgages were included in McCabe and Wolock (2014).

Geochemistry of rocks, precipitation, and water sources from Pinnacles National Park, California, 2016-2017

Surface water, springs and wells in Pinnacles National Park (San Benito and Monterey Counties, CA) were sampled in the  Fall of 2016 and Spring of 2017. Field parameters such as in situ pH, TDS/conductivity, and temperature were assessed. GPS coordinates for all samples were taken. Comprehensive groundwater chemistry, including major and minor elements, alkalinity, nutrients (and other parameters), Sr isotopes and REE concentrations, was analyzed at the National Water Quality Lab, USGS, Denver CO; and in USGS labs in Menlo Park, CA. One field visit on 8/20/2017 was made to obtain rock samples from the volcanic and sedimentary rocks in and around the park, which were digested and analyzed for whole rock chemistry (XRF, OES, ICP MS) by the Analytical Chemistry Lab (Mineral Resources Program, USGS, Denver CO). Sr isotopes for these samples were analyzed in the Menlo Park Metal Isotope Lab at the USGS. Precipitation was collected in a bulk collector during the winter of 2016-2017 and the chemistry and Sr isotopes of bulk samples was analyzed by ICP-MS or TIMS at the USGS Metal Isotope Lab in Menlo Park, CA.

GPS monitoring data from spider units on the post-disaster 2014 Oso landslide, Snohomish County, Washington

Data in this release record ground-surface positions obtained during post-disaster emergency response following the 2014 catastrophic Oso (SR 530) landslide, Snohomish County, Washington.  Global Positioning System (GPS) data were collected using three USGS GPS-seismometer spider units deployed adjacent to (OSO1), upslope of (OSO2), and on (OSO3) the landslide (see image for locations) for about five weeks.  Details of the post-disaster response as well as the spider units are described in the accompanying publication.  Positions were determined in near real-time relative to a base-station GPS receiver (OSO0) located on stable ground less than 2 km from the landslide using static, differential GPS processing techniques.  The spider positions over time were computed using GPS L1-only data collected every 15 seconds and processed about every 10 minutes using the previous 3-hour periods of data.  Data are presented as latitude, longitude, and ellipsoid height in the World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS 84) coordinate system with times in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).  Horizontal coordinates are also presented as converted into Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) values.  Differences in horizontal and 3D positions over time, relative to the initial spider locations, are included.  Time gaps in the data sets indicate that insufficient GPS data were available to obtain fixed ambiguity, high quality, static solutions during the gap time periods.  Details of the GPS processing techniques are further described in the Procedure section of the FGDC Metadata.  Seismic data from the same spider units are available through IRIS.
This data release includes: 1) image showing locations of the three GPS-seismic spider units relative to the Oso landslide, 2) initial positions (WGS 84) of the three spider units and the reference base station, OSO0, and 3) three files containing ground-surface positions and horizontal and 3D movement amounts for OSO1, OSO2, and OSO3 spiders over the monitoring period.

Soil surface properties and roughness data at two experimental restoration sites within the Southwestern USA

This data release presents data used for analyzing spatial and temporal differences in soil surface roughness within selected biocrust communities. These records were collected by ground-based lidar for 121, 1m x 3m soil plots with biological soil crusts (biocrusts). Roughness was estimated from 5 mm resolution data (CloudCompare v. 2.10.2, 2019) for two Great Basin Desert sites (UTTR-1; UTTR-2) in December 2015 and one Chihuahuan Desert site (JER) in February 2016. Data were again collected in June 2018 for UTTR-1 and UTTR-2. Additional field and laboratory data were included within this study to understand differences in soil surface roughness between UTTR and JER as well as between the 2016 and 2018 surveys at UTTR. The associated manuscript (see Larger Work Citation) reports that soil surfaces at the UTTR are significantly rougher than JER for undisturbed biocrust but not necessarily for disturbed biocrust. Additionaly, discuss that once biocrust is disturbed, soil surface roughness can increase with biocrust recovery. These data can be further used to represent surface conditions at the time of collection at individual soil plots within both study areas, providing further information on spatial and temporal variability in roughness as well as other field and laboratory parameters included in this release.

Continuous resistivity profiling (CRP) in the Similkameen River above Enloe Dam, Okanogan County, Washington

A continuous resistivity profiling (CRP) survey was conducted in a 1.2-mile reach of the Similkameen River upstream of Enloe Dam in December 2021 in Washington State. The survey was performed to characterize the resistivity of the water column and subbottom materials using the CRP method. The survey consisted of eight longitudinal profiles roughly equivalent in length and conducted in the right, left and center of the channel. In this survey, a 100-m cable with 11 electrodes spaced 10 m apart and outfitted with floatation aids was towed behind a boat at speeds of 1-1.5 m/s and data were collected using the dipole-dipole array type. In this configuration, two electrodes nearest the boat transmitted electric current into the water and subbottom materials, and eight electrical potential measurements were made every 1 s using the trailing nine electrodes. The boat speed and measurement rate allowed for complete measurements every 1-2 m along the profile. In general, the depth of measurement increases with the spacing between electrodes and is limited to 10-20 m depending on conditions. Bulk resistivity at specific depths in the vertical profile is determined through a process of inversion. This data release contains the raw CRP data in text file format that can be used in the inversion process, as well as the inverted files used in the calculation of sediment above bedrock impounded by Enloe dam.

Bathymetric, water velocity, and water temperature data on the St. Croix River between St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin, and Stillwater, Minnesota, June 19–22, 2018

From June 19–22, 2018, bathymetric, water velocity, and water temperature data were collected on the St. Croix River between St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin, and Stillwater, Minnesota. These data were collected with a Teledyne RD Instruments RiverRay acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) and georeferenced using a Trimble R10 Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver connected to a real-time virtual reference station (VRS) network. The GNSS receiver was mounted directly above the ADCP and data were read directly into the ADCP data collection software. Bathymetry, water temperature, and detailed, three-dimensional water velocity data were collected at 26 cross sections over the 47.8-kilometer (km) survey reach with three cross sections consisting of two channels separated by an island. Data were also collected between survey cross sections along the approximate centerline of the channel(s). Not all branches of the multithreaded St. Croix River were surveyed due to access and safety concerns. The ADCP data were post-processed using the Velocity Mapping Toolbox (VMT) version 4.09 (Parsons and others, 2013).
