Depth grids of flood inundation maps for Papillion Creek near Offutt Air Force Base, Nebraska

These datasets are raster files that represent water depths associated with each flood inundation boundary for 157 flooding scenarios in an  8-mile reach of the Papillion Creek near Offutt Air Force Base.  These raster files were created by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the U.S. Air Force, Offutt Air Force Base for use within the USGS Flood Inundation Mapping program. 
The flood-inundation maps, which can be accessed through the USGS Flood Inundation Mapping Science website at https://www.usgs.gov/mission-areas/water-resources/science/flood-inundation-mapping-fim-program, depict estimates of the areal extent and depth of flooding corresponding to selected water levels (stages) at the USGS streamgages on the Papillion Creek at Fort Crook, Nebr. (station 06610795) and Papillion Creek at Harlan Lewis Road near La Platte, Nebr. (station 06610798). Near-real-time stages at these streamgages may be obtained from the USGS National Water Information System web interface at https://doi.org/10.5066/F7P55KJN or from the National Weather Service Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service at https:/water.weather.gov/ahps/.
Flood profiles were computed for the stream reach by means of a one-dimensional step-backwater model. The model was calibrated using the current (2021) stage-discharge relation at the Papillion Creek at Fort Crook, Nebr, streamgage.
The hydraulic model then was used to compute 157 water-surface profiles for scenarios where combination of stage values in 1-foot (ft) stage intervals, that ranged between 27 and 39 ft at the Papillion Creek at Fort Crook streamgage and 13.9 and 30.9 ft at the Papillion Creek at Harlan Lewis Road streamgage as referenced to the local datum. The simulated water-surface profiles then were combined with a geographic information system digital elevation model (DEM) with a 3.281-ft grid to delineate polygon shapefiles, and depth grids of inundated areas. Along with the inundated area maps, polygon shapefiles and depth grids of areas behind the levees were created to display the uncertainty of these areas, if a levee breech were to occur.  These 'areas of uncertainty' files have '_breach' and '_breachgrid' appended to the file names in the data release. The availability of these maps, along with information regarding current stage from the USGS streamgage, will provide emergency management personnel and residents with information that is critical for flood response activities such as evacuations and road closures, as well as for post flood recovery efforts.

Digital image mosaics of the nearshore coastal waters of selected areas on the island of Hawai'i generated using aerial photographs and SHOALS airborne lidar bathymetry data

This portion of the data release contains image mosaics generated using digitized 1:24K natural color photographs collected in June 2000 by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Ocean Service (NOS). These four image mosaics have 1.0 meter-per-pixel resolution, and intermittently cover approximately 53 km (33 mi) of shallow, coastal waters along the west, Kona coast, of the island of Hawai'i, including (from north to south) the Kawaihae, Waikoloa, Kukio, and Kailua-Kona areas. Each digital image mosaic area is downloadable as a separate zip file (area_1m.zip) that contains two versions of the image mosaic--one with and one without a lidar bathymetry shaded-relief image digitally combined with the aerial photography mosaic results. The shaded-relief image was derived using airborne SHOALS (Scanning Hydrographic Operational Lidar Survey) lidar (LIght Detection And Ranging) data collected for the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) by the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers (USACE) in April 1999. Also included in each zip file is a lower-resolution 'browse' graphic of each image mosaic and associated metadata.

Weather Station Data on the Juneau Icefield

Measurements of meteorological data are made at many permanent camp facilities on the Juneau Icefield. This portion of the data release includes select weather data that has received basic quality control and assurance. Data is released at three different levels of processing, level 0, 1 and 2. Level 0 data contains compiled raw data, before QC procedures are applied, at the original timestep recorded by the instrument. Level 1 data has received a plausible value check, and minimal manual error identification (e.g. errors noted on field visits). Level 2 data has been through more extensive quality control procedures and is provided at both the original instrument timestep as well as aggregated hourly and daily values. Data at many JIRP sites consist of a single temperature sensor, recording in a Stevenson-type shield. Automated weather stations at Camp 10, 17, and 18 have measured additional meteorological variables in recent years. Both are presented in this data release.

Consumption rates and total mercury concentration of food items and consumers collected at six sites on the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon, USA, 2007-2009

Mercury flux and fate (whether mercury was retained in the aquatic ecosystem or exported to the riparian ecosystem via blackfly emergence) was calculated based on animal consumption rates and total mercury concentration of diet items. Consumers and their gut contents were collected at six sites on the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon. Sites ranged from 0-367 river kilometers downstream of Lees Ferry (AZ, USA). Organic matter types and animal tissues were analyzed for total Hg using cold vapor atomic fluorescence (CVAF, Tekran Model 2600 CVAF spectrometer) following EPA Method 7474. Gut content samples used to calculate consumption rates were collected at least quarterly from July 1, 2007 to June 30, 2009. Organic matter types and consumers were collected June 12-28 2008. Data provided in this report include animal consumption rates; total mercury concentrations of food web samples and mean mercury concentrations of diet items; total mercury fluxes from diet items to individual consumers; the total amount of mercury in blackfly larvae that was consumed by fishes, excreted during metamorphosis, or exported via adult blackfly emergence; site locations and river widths; and the total flux of mercury at the scale of entire invertebrate and fish assemblages.

Hillslope hydrologic monitoring data following the 2009 Station Fire, Los Angeles County, California, November 2015 to June 2017

This data release includes time-series data from two monitoring stations in drainage basins burned in the 2009 Station Fire, Los Angeles County, California. Both stations are located near the upper boundary of their respective watershed and were installed to study the effects of vegetation recovery on hillslope hydrology and debris-flow occurrence. The coordinates of the Arroyo Seco site are 34°14'13.10"N, 118°11'44.72"W. The coordinates for the Dunsmore Canyon hillslope site are 34°15'54.27"N, 118°14'14.41"W. The data include 1-minute time series of rainfall, soil water content, soil temperature, and soil matric potential recorded at two locations at both stations: AS1, AS2, DC1, DC2. The two locations at each site have the primary distinction of being in a non-vegetated location (AS1, DC1) or under vegetated canopy (AS2, DC2). The soil water content measurements were made at 3 depths below the ground surface in each pit (10, 25, and 50 cm). Soil temperature measurements were made in each pit (10 cm). Soil matric potential was measured with a tensiometer at AS1 (50 cm) and DC2 (50 cm), and includes an integrated soil temperature reading from the same instrument. All available data from the time period is included, but occasional lapses exist in the time-series due to various system issues and/or maintenance. The tensiometer data includes erroneous values where in-situ matric potential is outside of the range of the instrument and a data quality flag has been added to aid in the interpretation of these. Details of this study are described in the journal article: Smith, J.B., and J.W. Kean. 2018. Long-term soil-water tension measurements in semiarid environments: a method for automated tensiometer refilling. Vadose Zone J. 17:180070. doi:10.2136/vzj2018.04.0070.

Application of hierarchical Bayesian methods to a spatially explicit model of long-term mean annual streamflow for the conterminous United States

The data release documents the application of hierarchical Bayesian 
methods to a previously developed hybrid (statistical-mechanistic) 
SPARROW (SPAtially Referenced Regression On Watershed attributes) 
model of long-term mean annual streamflow for streams and rivers of 
conterminous United States. The performance and interpretability of 
three models were evaluated. The models included a non-hierarchical 
baseline model with spatially constant coefficients and model error 
variance, and two hierarchical models with regionally varying coefficients
and model error variances, as described in the journal article 
(see Table 2; https://doi.org/10.1029/2019WR025037). An R script is provided
that allows users to execute the three models.

Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) 2005, 2008, 2012, 2016 and 2018 Site 0153 land-water matrix

Wetland restoration efforts conducted by the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) in Louisiana rely on monitoring to determine the efficacy of these projects. The Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) was developed to assist in a multiple-reference approach that uses aspects of hydrogeomorphic functional assessments and probabilistic sampling for monitoring. The CRMS program includes a suite of approximately 390 sites that encompass the range of hydrological and ecological conditions for each stratum. As part of CRMS, land and water classifications are created from Digital Orthophoto Quarter Quadrangles (DOQQs) approximately every three years at all CRMS sites. This dataset consists of a matrix of five land-water products (2005, 2008, 2012, YYYY and 2018).  The resulting matrix has 32 possible classes defined by the combination of land and water categories on those five dates.
