Raw continuous resistivity profile data collected by the U.S. Geological Survey in Great South Bay on Long Island, New York, on May 21, 2008

An investigation of submarine aquifers adjacent to the Fire Island National Seashore and Long Island, New York, was conducted to assess the importance of submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) as a potential nonpoint source of nitrogen delivery to Great South Bay. More than 200 kilometers (km) of continuous resistivity profiling (CRP) data were collected to image the fresh-saline groundwater interface in sediments beneath the bay. In addition, groundwater sampling was performed at sites (1) along the northern shore of Great South Bay, particularly in Patchogue Bay, that were representative of the developed Long Island shoreline, and (2) at sites on and adjacent to Fire Island, a 50-km-long barrier island on the southern side of Great South Bay. Other field activities included sediment coring, stationary electrical resistivity profiling, and surveys of in-situ pore water conductivity. The onshore and offshore shallow hydrostratigraphy of the Great South Bay shorelines, particularly the presence and nature of submarine confining units, appears to exert primary control on the dimensions and chemistry of the submarine groundwater flow and discharge zones. Sediment coring has shown that the confining units commonly consist of drowned and buried peat layers likely deposited in salt marshes. Based on CRP data, low-salinity groundwater extends from 10 to 100 meters (m) offshore along much of the northern and southern shores of Great South Bay, especially off the mouths of tidal creeks, and beneath shallow flats to the north of Fire Island adjacent to modern salt marshes. Human modifications of much of the shoreline and nearshore areas along the northern shore of the bay, including filling of salt marshes, construction of bulkheads and piers, and dredging of navigation channels, has substantially altered the natural hydrogeology of the bay's shorelines by truncating confining units and increasing recharge near the shore in filled areas. Better understanding of the nature of SGD along developed and undeveloped shorelines of embayments such as this could lead to improved models and mitigation strategies for nutrient overenrichment of estuaries.

Ground-Based XYZ Point Elevation Data Collected in May 2015 From Fire Island, New York

Scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center in St. Petersburg, Florida, conducted a bathymetric survey of Fire Island, New York, from May 6 to 20, 2015. The U.S. Geological Survey is involved in a post-Hurricane Sandy effort to map and monitor the morphologic evolution of the wilderness breach as a part of the Hurricane Sandy Supplemental Project GS2-2B. During this study, bathymetry data were collected with single-beam echosounders and Global Positioning Systems, which were mounted to personal watercraft, along the Fire Island shoreface and within the wilderness breach. Additional bathymetry and elevation data were collected using backpack Global Positioning Systems on flood shoals and in shallow channels within the wilderness breach.

Digital data sets that describe aquifer characteristics of the alluvial and terrace deposits along the North Canadian River from Oklahoma City to Eufaula Lake in east-central Oklahoma

This data set consists of digital polygons of a constant
recharge value for the alluvial and terrace deposits along the
North Canadian River from Oklahoma City to Eufaula Lake in
east-central Oklahoma. Ground water in 710 square miles of
Quaternary-age alluvial and terrace deposits along the North
Canadian River is an important source of water for irrigation,
industrial, municipal, stock, and domestic supplies. The
aquifer, composed of alluvial and terrace deposits, consists of
sand, silt, clay, and gravel. The aquifer is underlain and in
hydraulic connection with the upper zone of the Permian-age
Garber-Wellington aquifer and the Pennsylvanian-age Ada-Vamoosa
aquifer.
Some of the polygon boundaries were digitized from a published
ground-water modeling report about the aquifer and some lines
were extracted from published digital geology data sets.
Recharge was estimated to range from 1.7 inches per year in the
west to 7.0 inches per year in the east, with an average of 3.3
inches per year in the published ground-water modeling report.
The recharge values used as input to the ground-water flow model
were not published and were not available from any other source.
Therefore, the alluvial and terrace deposits were assigned the
average recharge value of 3.3 inches per year in this data set.
Ground-water flow models are numerical representations that
simplify and aggregate natural systems. Models are not unique;
different combinations of aquifer characteristics may produce
similar results. Therefore, values of recharge used in the
model and presented in this data set are not precise, but are
within a reasonable range when compared to independently
collected data.

F208NC_video_observations

This part of DS 781 presents video observations from cruise F208NC in northern California. The vector data file is included in "f208nc_video_observations.zip," which is accessible from https://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/781/video_observations/data_catalog_video_observations.html.
Between 2006 and 2007, the seafloor in central California was mapped by California State University, Monterey Bay, Seafloor Mapping Lab (CSUMB) and by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), using both multibeam echosounders and bathymetric sidescan sonar units. These mapping missions combined to collect bathymetry and acoustic-backscatter data from about the 10-m isobath to out beyond the 3-nautical-mile limit of California's State Waters. To validate the interpretations of sonar data in order to turn it into geologically and biologically useful information, the USGS ground-truth surveyed the data by towing camera sleds over specific locations throughout the region. During the 2008 ground-truth cruise, the camera sled housed two video cameras (one forward looking and the other vertical looking), a high-definition video camera, and an 8-megapixel digital still camera. The video was fed in real time to the research vessel, where USGS and NOAA scientists recorded both the geologic and biologic character of the seafloor into programmable keypads once every minute. In addition to recording the seafloor characteristics, a digital still photograph was captured once every 30 seconds. This ArcGIS shape file includes the position of the camera, the time each observation was started, and the visual observations of geologic and biologic habitat.

Thicknesses of hydrogeologic units used in the hydrogeologic framework and transient ground-water flow model of the Death Valley regional ground-water flow system, Nevada and California

A digital three-dimensional hydrogeologic framework model (HFM) represents the geometry and 
extent of hydrogeologic units (HGUs) and major structures in the Death Valley regional ground-
water flow system (DVRFS). The HFM thickness data represent the geometry of the HFM by 
defining the thicknesses of the 27 HGUs in an approximately 45,000 square-kilometer region of 
southern Nevada and California (see "Larger Work Citation", Chapter E). The HGUs represent 
principal aquifers and confining units and are integral to the development of the DVRFS transient 
ground-water flow model (see "Larger Work Citation", Chapter F). The DVRFS framework and 
transient ground-water flow models are the most recent in a number of regional-scale models 
developed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) 
to support investigations at the Nevada Test Site (NTS) and at Yucca Mountain, Nevada (see 
"Larger Work Citation", Chapter A, page 8, for details).

Time Series of Autonomous Carbonate System Parameter Measurements in Middle Tampa Bay, Florida, USA (version 2.0, August 2019)

This dataset contains carbonate system data collected by scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center to investigate the effects of carbon cycling, coastal and ocean acidification on the Tampa Bay estuary located in west central Florida, USA. These data were collected using an autonomous instrument called the Ocean Carbon System version 2 (OCSv2) deployed on the seafloor in Tampa Bay. The OCSv2 consists of four sensors integrated into a Sea-Bird Scientific (Satlantic) STOR-X submersible data logger including a Satlantic SeapHOx sensor for measurement of pH that incorporates a Sea-Bird SBE 37-SMP-ODO MicroCAT C-T-ODO (P) Recorder for measurement of conductivity (for calculation of salinity), temperature, depth, and dissolved oxygen; a Pro-Oceanus CO2-Pro CV CO2 sensor; and a Wetlabs Eco-PAR sensor for measurement of photosynthetically active radiation. The dataset is a time series of carbonate system parameters including: water temperature (Celsius, °C), pressure (decibar, dbar), salinity, pHT (pH on the total scale), carbon dioxide (parts per million, ppm), pressure from the CO2-Pro Infrared Gas Analyzer (IRGA) (millibars, mbar), dissolved oxygen (milligrams per liter, mg/L) and photosynthetically active radiation (microEinsteins). Each parameter was measured every hour for 24-hour time periods throughout the duration of deployment.

Average Estimates of Water-Budget Components Based on Hydrograph Separation and PRISM Precipitation for Gaged Basins in the Appalachian Plateaus Region, 1900-2011

As part of the U.S. Geological Survey’s Groundwater Resources Program study of the Appalachian Plateaus aquifers, 
estimates of annual water-budget components were determined at 849 continuous-record streamflow gaging stations 
from Mississippi to New York. Base flow, which can serve as a proxy for annual recharge, streamflow, and runoff 
were estimated from computer programs—PART (Rutledge, 1993), HYSEP (Sloto and Crouse, 1996), and BFI 
(Wahl and Wahl, 1988)—that are included in the hydrograph analysis component provided with version 1.0 of the 
U.S. Geological Survey Groundwater Toolbox. Only complete years (January to December) of record at each 
gage were used to determine annual estimates. Estimates of base-flow index, which is the percentage of 
streamflow from base flow, are included in the annual and average tables. Precipitation was estimated by 
calculating the average of cell values in the PRISM dataset intercepted by basin boundaries where previously 
defined in the GAGES-II dataset (Falcone, 2011). Estimates of evapotranspiration were then calculated from 
the difference between precipitation and streamflow.

Multibeam Bathymetry Data Collected in 2016 from Grand Bay Alabama/Mississippi: Unadjusted processed elevation point data (x,y,z)

A reconnaissance multibeam bathymetry survey was conducted by the U.S Geological Survey (USGS) St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center (SPCMSC) in Grand Bay Alabama/Mississippi (AL/MS) on May 12, 2016 as an assessment of the shallow water capabilities of the Teledyne Reson SeaBat T50-P multibeam echosounder, and as an attempt to map the eroding marsh edges at locations of interest around the bay. This dataset, Grand_Bay_2016_MBB_Unadjusted_xyz.zip, includes the resulting [unadjusted] processed elevation point data (x,y,z), as derived from a half meter resolution surface. For this dataset, a static offset was not applied to vertically adjusted the data to match USGS bathymetry data previously acquired in 2015 (DeWitt and others, 2016).

ASIS2003_EAARLA_BE_z18_n88g99_mosaic_metadata: EAARL Coastal Topography--Northern Assateague Island National Seashore, Maryland and Virginia, 2003: Bare Earth

A bare-earth topography Digital Elevation Model (DEM) mosaic for the northern half of Assateague Island National Seashore was produced from remotely sensed, geographically referenced elevation measurements acquired cooperatively by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the National Park Service (NPS). Elevation measurements were collected over northern Assateague Island National Seashore using the first-generation National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Experimental Advanced Airborne Research Lidar (EAARL), a pulsed laser ranging system mounted onboard an aircraft to measure ground elevation, vegetation canopy, and coastal topography. The system uses high-frequency laser beams directed at the Earth's surface through an opening in the bottom of the aircraft's fuselage. The laser system records the time difference between emission of the laser beam and the reception of the reflected laser signal in the aircraft. The plane travels over the target area at approximately 60 meters per second at an elevation of approximately 300 meters, resulting in a laser swath of approximately 240 meters with an average point spacing of 2-3 meters. The EAARL, developed originally by NASA at Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia, measures ground elevation with a vertical resolution of 3 centimeters. A sampling rate of 3 kilohertz or higher results in an extremely dense spatial elevation dataset. Over 100 kilometers of coastline can be surveyed easily within a 3- to 4-hour mission. When resultant elevation maps for an area are analyzed, they provide a useful tool to make management decisions regarding land development.
