Geospatial Navigational Data Associated with Chirp Sub-Bottom Profiles Collected During USGS Field Activity Number 2023-325-FA in June and August 2023 from the Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana

As part of the 2022 Disaster Supplemental project, scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center (SPCMSC) conducted a nearshore geophysical survey to map the shoreface and inner shelf, as well as characterize stratigraphy near the Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana (LA) in June and August 2023. The purpose of this study was to conduct a morphologic and geologic assessment of the impacts of the 2020 and 2021 hurricane seasons within part of the Breton National Wildlife Refuge (specifically around Hewes Point and Monkey Bayou). These geophysical data will be used to quantify sediment redistribution resulting from storms. The data release associated with this metadata record serves as an archive of high-resolution chirp sub-bottom trace data and navigation files. Shapefiles (.shp) provided in the data release represent point and polyline vector datasets of Field Activity Number (FAN) 2023-325-FA chirp sub-bottom profile trackline, start of line, and 1,000-shot-interval locations.

Hydrologic Soil Group for the Upper Colorado River Basin in Daymet Climate Data resolution (hsg_UCRB_Daymet_resolution.txt)

hsg_UCRB_Daymet_resolution.txt is an Esri ASCII grid representing the hydrologic soil group (HSG) for the 
Upper Colorado River Basin.  The HSG for an area is determined by the least water-transmitting layer in the 
soil column. The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) classifies four HSGs from Group A
 (high infiltration capacity and low overland flow potential) to Group D (low infiltration capacity and high 
overland flow potential). In Soil-Water Balance recharge simulations, a lookup table incorporates HSG 
and land-cover information for each grid cell to define unique runoff curve numbers, vegetation rooting 
depths, interception values, and maximum daily recharge values.

FTLOADDS (combined SWIFT2D surface-water model and SEAWAT groundwater model) simulator used to Repurpose a Hindcast Simulation of the 1926 Great Miami Hurricane using the South Florida Peninsula for the Biscayne and Southern Everglades Coastal Transport (BISECT) Model

The previously developed Biscayne and Southern Everglades Coastal Transport (BISECT) model, 
which combines a three-dimensional groundwater model with a two-dimensional hydrodynamic 
surface-water model with variable-density solute-transport (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20195045), 
was used to evaluate the hydrologic response to historical and hypothesized modern hurricane 
strikes. Simulations were implemented using FTLOADDS (Flow and Transport in a Linked 
Overland/Aquifer Density-Dependent System) which is a coupled hydrodynamic surface-water and 
groundwater simulator that was developed by the U. S. Geological Survey to improve understanding 
of the complex and interconnected hydrology in South Florida. A simulation of the 1926 Great Miami 
Hurricane (GMH) strike had been previously developed with a hindcast representation in BISECT, 
developed to represent sea level and water management for the period of 1926 to 1932 but constrained 
by the limited hydrology and meteorology data available from the historic past.  This simulation was 
presented in an article in the journal Ecological Processes (https://doi.org/10.1186/s13717-014-0028-3).  
For this study realistic hurricane wind and storm surge representations based on information synthesized 
from modern storm data are used to modify the previously published simulation.  Modifications represent 
the GMH striking in 3 scenarios 1) In its real-life setting on September 18, 1926, 2) In a recent setting on 
September 18, 1996, and 3) with 1926 inland condition and 1996 sea level. These 3 scenarios help define 
the factors that affect how historical changes in climate, sea level, coastal topography, and the manmade 
canal system affect the severity of inundation and salinity intrusion from a major storm. An assessment 
of those effects can determine which historical changes affect the hydrologic response to a particular 
storm. Comparing the same storm strike at different historical times can improve understanding of how 
changes in the system can affect the severity of storm damage. This USGS data release contains the 
input and output files for the simulations described in the associated model documentation report 
(https://doi.org/10.3133/OFR20201010).

Sedimentary Data Collected in April 2016 From Old Tampa Bay, Florida (U.S. Geological Survey Field Activity Number 2016–327–FA)

The toxic dinoflagellate Pyrodinium bahamense (P. bahamense) produces recurring, persistent summer algal blooms in Old Tampa Bay, Florida, which degrade water quality and are potentially harmful to humans if contaminated shellfish is consumed. As part of its life cycle, P. bahamense produces dormant cysts, which settle to the seafloor, forming seed beds that may initiate future blooms if favorable conditions for germination occur.
From August 2015 to September 2016, the U. S. Geological Survey (USGS) and Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) collaborated to conduct seasonal sediment sampling at in Old Tampa Bay, Florida. Sediment cores were collected at three sites. The USGS characterized bottom sediment texture and measured profiles of naturally-occurring radionuclides in the uppermost five centimeters of the sediment column. This information will provide an assessment of sediment accumulation, depositional focusing, and resuspension in relation to the potential impact on the seeding potential of P. bahamense cysts. This data will be used in conjunction with FWC research on the vertical distribution of cyst abundance and viability to estimate the seeding potential of future blooms (Lopez and others, 2015). This project was funded by the Tampa Bay Environmental Restoration Fund.
This data release is an archive of USGS field data and laboratory analytical results for the five sampling periods in this study, designated as USGS Field Activity Numbers 2015-329-FA (project ID 15FWR02), 2015-341-FA (project ID 15FWR03), 2016-312-FA (project ID 16FWR04), 2016-327-FA (project ID 16FWR05), and 2016-350-FA (project ID 16FWR06).

Metadata Standards for Magnetotelluric Time Series Data

Magnetotellurics (MT) is an electromagnetic geophysical method that is sensitive to variations in subsurface electrical resistivity.  Measurements of natural electric and magnetic fields are done in the time domain, where instruments can record for a couple of hours up to mulitple months resulting in data sets on the order of gigabytes.  The principles of findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reuse of digital assets (FAIR) requires standardized metadata.  Unfortunately, the MT community has never had a metadata standard for time series data.  In 2019, the Working Group for Magnetotelluric Data Handling and Software (https://www.iris.edu/hq/about_iris/governance/mt_soft) was assembled by the Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS) to develop a metadata standard for time series data.  This product describes the metadata definitions. 
Metadata Hierarchy: Survey -&gt; Station -&gt; Run -&gt; Channel
The hierarchy and structure of the MT metadata logically follows how MT time series data are collected.  The highest level is "survey" which contains metadata for data collected over a certain time interval in a given geographic region.  This may include multiple principle investigators or multiple data collection episodes but should be confined to a specific project. Next, a "station" which contains metadata for a single location over a certain time interval.  If the location changes during a run, then a new station should be created and subsequently a new run under the new station. If the sensors, cables, data logger, battery, etc. are replaced during a run but the station remains in the same location, then this can be recorded in the "run" metadata but does not require a new station entry. A "run" contains metadata for continuous data collected at a single sample rate. If channel parameters are changed between runs, this would require creating a new run.  If the station is relocated then a new station should be created.  If a run has channels that drop out, the start and end period will be the minimum time and maximum time for all channels recorded.   Finally, a "channel" contains metadata for a single channel during a single run, where "electric", "magnetic", and "auxiliary" channels have some different metadata to uniquely describe the physical measurement.

Data for Characterizing Changes in the 1-percent Annual Exceedance Probability Streamflows for Climate Change Scenarios in the Housatonic River Watershed, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New York

The U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Federal Emergency Management Agency has conducted a study to evaluate potential changes to1-percent annual exceedance probability streamflows. The study was conducted using the Precipitation Runoff Modeling System (PRMS). Climate inputs to the model of temperature and precipitation were scaled to anticipated changes that could occur in 2030, 2050, and 2100 based on global climate models. The output from the models were used to characterize the 1-percent AEP streamflows for the years 2030, 2050, and 2100 and compare the results to baseline conditions, 1950-2015. The data include the model input and output and spatial data for model referencing.  Scripts for processing PRMS output to obtain final results are also provided.

Flow direction from the Hydrologic Derivatives for Modeling and Analysis (HDMA) database -- Australasia

This dataset contains the Flow Direction (FD) for Australasia from the Hydrologic Derivatives for Modeling and Analysis (HDMA) database. The data were developed and distributed by processing units. There are 11 processing units for Australasia. The distribution files have the number of the processing unit appended to the end of the zip file name (e.g. au_dem_3_2.zip contains the DEM data for unit 3-2). The HDMA database provides comprehensive and consistent global coverage of raster and vector topographically derived layers, including raster layers of digital elevation model (DEM) data, flow direction, flow accumulation, slope, and compound topographic index (CTI); and vector layers of streams and catchment boundaries. The coverage of the data is global (-180º, 180º, -90º, 90º) with the underlying DEM being a hybrid of three datasets: HydroSHEDS (Hydrological data and maps based on SHuttle Elevation Derivatives at multiple Scales), Global Multi-resolution Terrain Elevation Data 2010 (GMTED2010) and the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM). For most of the globe south of 60º North, the raster resolution of the data is 3-arc-seconds, corresponding to the resolution of the SRTM. For the areas North of 60º, the resolution is 7.5-arc-seconds (the smallest resolution of the GMTED2010 dataset) except for Greenland, where the resolution is 30-arc-seconds. The streams and catchments are attributed with Pfafstetter codes, based on a hierarchical numbering system, that carry important topological information.

Lidar data for gate release experiment at the USGS Debris Flow Flume 24 and 25 May 2017

Lidar data was collected on 24 and 25 May 2017 at the USGS debris-flow flume to monitor two gate-release debris flow experiments. A static prism of sediment was emplaced behind a gate at the top of the flume. Water was added via sprinklers to the surface and also via pipes to the subsurface, in order to saturate the sediment mass. The sediment mass moved down the flume as a debris flow when the gate was opened. Lidar data was collected from a Riegl VZ-400 terrestrial laser scanner to capture the mass failure. The lidar unit was modified to scan a narrow swath (approximately 1 mm) along the full profile of the constructed sediment mass. The lidar scan rate was set to re-scan every 0.017 s or at a rate of 60 Hz. The data contained herein ecapsulates entire lidar point cloud from the time before prior to movement through full failure of the sediment mass. The points are organized in rows. The columns are: ['xM', 'yM', 'zM', 'rangeM', 'thetaDEG', 'phiDEG', 'riegl_ref', 'timestampSEC', 'Line'] . The 'xM', 'yM', 'zM' values are the x, y, and z real world UTM coordinates with units of meters. The 'rangeM' is the distance of each point from the scanner with units of meters. The vertical angle of the lidar scanner is shown as 'thetaDEG' with units of degrees. Similarly, the horizontal angle of the lidar scanner is shown as 'phiDEG' with units of degrees. The 'riegl_ref' represents reflectance value computed from the intensity. The timestamp is the number of seconds since the beginning of the scan. The 'Line' column represents all the points that belong to a single lidar profile swath.
