Water temperature and specific conductance in the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal near the Electrical Dispersal Barrier System at Romeoville, Illinois, October 1, 2018, to September 30, 2019

The water temperature in degrees Celsius and specific conductance data in microsiemens per centimeter at 25 degrees Celsius (TC), measured at U.S. Geological Survey streamgage 05536995, located at Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal near the Electrical Dispersal Barrier System in Romeoville, Illinois. The TC data are measured every five-minutes at four gage height levels above the gage datum (P1 = 21 feet, P2 = 17 feet, P3 = 13 feet, P4 = 9 feet). The gage datum is 551.76 feet above the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88). Daily mean and five-minutes water temperature and specific conductance data were downloaded from the National Water Information System and stored in a comma separated value files. Daily mean data are stored in a comma separated value file, "05536995-WY2019-temp-speccond-dailymean.csv" and the five-minutes data in "05536995-WY2019-temp-speccond-five-minute.csv". The 7-day moving average of daily mean values was calculated in Microsoft Office Excel spreadsheet. For each day, the 7-day moving average was calculated as the average of daily mean value for that day and the six previous days. This spreadsheet was saved as a csv file, "05536995-WY2019-temp-speccond-7daymovavg.csv". The water year 2019 annual minimum, maximum, mean, median, and standard deviation were calculated for each of the four temperature probes and the four specific conductance probes in Microsoft Office Excel and saved as a csv file, "05536995-WY2019-temp-speccond-annualstats.csv". The csv files containing five-minute, daily mean, 7-day moving average, and annual statistics (minimum, maximum, mean, median, and standard deviation) for water year 2019 can be downloaded from this page.

Model archive for the hydraulic modeling for selected streams near Rittman in Wayne and Medina Counties, Ohio

Digital flood-inundation maps were created by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District and the City of Rittman as part of a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Study (FIS). The flood-inundation maps show estimates of the areal extent corresponding to the 1% and 0.2% annual-exceedance probability floods. Flood profiles were computed for each stream reach by means of a one-dimensional step-backwater model.

Summary of the characteristics of near-surface flow reversals at the Electrical Dispersal Barrier System on the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal at Romeoville, Illinois, October 1, 2018, to September 30, 2019

This dataset contains a summary of the characteristics of near-surface flow reversals at the Electrical Dispersal Barrier System (EDBS) on the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal at Romeoville, Illinois during Water Year 2018 (October 1, 2018, to September 30, 2019). Water velocity near the water surface is measured on a five-minute sampling interval in the EDBS using surface velocity radar at nine measurement cells on a cross section near U.S. Geological Survey streamgage 05536995 (Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal at Romeoville, Illinois). Flow reversal events are analyzed for each individual cell as well as for the average velocity over all nine cells. For the analysis of individual cells, a flow reversal event is defined as a period of time in which the velocity in an individual cell is negative (flowing upstream). For the analysis of the average velocity, a flow reversal event is defined as a period of time in which the average velocity over all nine cells is negative (flowing upstream). Velocity observations and statistics for each flow reversal event are provided in comma separated value files stored in a zipped folder named 05536995-WY2019-Flow-Reversal-Events.zip.

Monitoring data to support the operation of the Electric Dispersal Barrier System on the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal at Romeoville, Illinois, October 1, 2018, to September 30, 2019

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) monitors water surface flow reversals, commercial vessel traffic, and temperature and specific conductance in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Electric Dispersal Barrier System (EDBS) on the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal, Chicago, Illinois. These data are planned to be released on USGS Sciencebase annually. This data release is the summary of all the data collected during water year 2019 (October 1, 2018, to September 30, 2019). Johnson and others (2019) describe all the data collected during October 1, 2017, to September 30, 2018. Water surface flow reversals at the EDBS are monitored using surface velocity radar. Commercial vessel traffic patterns through the EDBS are documented using a motion-activated video camera. Commercial vessel traffic data is only available for October 1, 2018, to July 3, 2019. Temperature and specific conductance are reported in near real-time from USGS sensors installed just downstream of the EDBS.

GAK_Q57.TIF - Gulf of Alaska U.S. EEZ GLORIA sidescan-sonar data mosaic (27 of 30) (LCC, 50 m, WGS84)

GLORIA data for the Gulf of Alaska Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) were acquired during five cruises over a four year period. The first cruise conducted in 1986 (F-1-86-GA) surveyed an area of the north-central mosaic area and covered an area of approximately 40,000 square kilometers (sq km). The second two cruises (F-8-88-AA, F-9-88-WG) were conducted in 1988. One of the 1988 cruises (F-8-88-AA) focused on a survey of the Aleutian Arc. The eastern most portion of that survey extended outside of the Aleutian Arc survey area and covered an area of approximately 52,000 square kilometers (sq km) of seafloor on the western edge of the Gulf of Alaska. The final two cruises (F-6-89-GA, F-7-89-EG) were completed in 1989. As in earlier EEZ reconnaissance surveys, the USGS utilized the GLORIA (Geological LOng-Range Inclined Asdic) sidescan-sonar system to complete the geologic mapping. The collected GLORIA data were processed and digitally mosaicked to produce continuous imagery of the seafloor. Thirty digital mosaics with a 50-meter pixel resolution were completed for the region.

Electrical Resistivity Tomography GIS Data near Anza, Riverside County, California, 2018

The Cahuilla Valley and Terwilliger Valley groundwater basins, 9-006 and 7-026 respectively (California Department of Water Resources 2016) located approximately 25 miles southwest of Palm Springs, are the sole-source for groundwater supply for the rural disadvantaged community and two Native American Tribes, the Ramona Band of Cahuilla and the Cahuilla. The characteristics and sustainable yield of the Cahuilla Valley and Terwilliger Valley groundwater basins are not well understood and are threatened by increasing water use and potential changes in water sustainability related to climate change. Previous USGS studies of the Cahuilla-Terwilliger Valley groundwater basins defined the thicknesses and characteristics of the alluvial sediments that constitute the main water-bearing unit of the aquifer system and identified where wells completed in the underlying fractured bedrock are located (Moyle, 1976; Landon and others, 2015; Woolfenden and Bright, 1988). However, although the fractured bedrock is an important part of the aquifer system for domestic and some irrigation supply, the thickness and hydraulic characteristics of the fractured bedrock are not well understood (Landon and others, 2015; Moyle 1976). Existing gravity data identified a possible conduit for groundwater flow beneath Cahuilla Creek in the Cahuilla and Durasno Valleys (Landon and others, 2015). Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) data was collected in August 2018 to evaluate the cross-sectional depth to bedrock underlying a narrow section of Durasno Valley, and to help select locations for groundwater monitoring wells. Data from two transects were collected perpendicular to Cahuilla Creek, and offset by approximately 600 meters (m).
