Depth measurements from the Snake River in Grand Teton National Park, WY, August 19-24, 2015

Field measurements of water depth were acquired from a reach of the Snake River in Grand Teton National Park, WY, August 19-24, 2015, to support research on channel change along the Snake River and, more broadly, remote sensing of rivers.  The depth measurements included in this data release were obtained by wading the shallow channel margins and measuring the water depth directly on a top-setting wading rod used to collect flow velocity data with an acoustic Doppler velocimeter (ADV).  For the deeper areas representing most of the channel, depths were recorded along a series of cross-sections by a SonTek RiverSurveyor M9 acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) deployed from a kayak with the vertical beam of the M9 used as the depth reference.  The spatial location of each wading measurement was obtained via a Trimble Geo7X handheld GPS receivers. For the ADCP-based depth measurements, postitions were defined uisng two  Hemisphere 101 real-time kinematic (RTK) GPS receivers: one was mounted on the kayak directly aboce the ADCP and the second was mounted on a tripod to serve as a local base station.  Both of the RTK GPS receivers were included as part of the RiverSurveyor M9 ADCP instrument package.  The data from the Trimble Geo7X were differentially corrected using the Trimble Pathfinder Office software and a network of publicly available continuously operating reference stations (i.e., base stations) located in the surrounding area.  The map projection and datum for these data are UTM Zone 12 N and WGS84, respectively.  The wading and ADCP-based depth measurements are combined for the purposes of this data release, which consists of a comma-delimited (*.csv) text file with three columns: Easting, Northing, and depth; the units of the spatial coordinates and the depths are meters.  This ground-based data set played a critical role in developing improved methods for mapping river bathymetry from remotely sensed data.

RUSLE2 Upland Erosion and Sediment Delivery to Stream Data Table for Difficult Run, Virginia

This table contains estimates for upland sediment erosion and delivery to the stream estimated using a modified Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation 2 (RUSLE2) approach (USDA-ARS, 2013). Upland erosion (Eu) was calculated as the sum of the product of the erosivity factor (Rm) estimated for each month, the soil erodibility factor (K), the length-slope factor (LS), C-factor (Cm) for each month, farming support practices (P) assumed to be 1, and the area of each land cover grouping in acres. Rasters with 10-m resolution were created for these five variables in the modified RUSLE2 equation to create an upland erosion (Eu) raster for the study area. Data were calculated for each National Hydrography (NHD) Dataset Version 1 catchment in the Difficult Run watershed.

GLM model data sets used to evaluate changes in the hydrodynamics of Anvil Lake, Wisconsin: U.S. Geological Survey Data Release

Interannual differences in the water quality of Anvil Lake, WI, were examined to determine how water level and climate affect the hydrodynamics and trophic state of shallow lakes, and their importance compared to anthropogenic changes in the watershed. To determine how changes in water level may affect these processes, the General Lake Model (GLM) was used to simulate how the lake’s thermal structure should change in response to changes in water level using R. This dataset includes the data inputs to the GLM model and the direct outputs from the model. Model Calibration (GLM_CalibrationZ); Simulation of with Deep Lake and Cold Weather (GLM_Deep_Cold_SimulationZ); Simulation of with Deep Lake and Hot Weather (GLM_Deep_Hot_SimulationZ); Simulation of with Shallow and Hot Weather (GLM_Shallow_Hot_SimulationZ); Simulation of with Shallow Lake and Cold Weather (GLM_Shallow_Cold_SimulationZ).

Land-Cover Map for the Island of Maui, Hawaii, 2017 (version 1.2, November 2018)

This dataset describes land cover and vegetation for the island of Maui, Hawaii, 2017, hereinafter the 2017 land-cover map. The 2017 land-cover map is a modified version of the 2010 land-cover map included in the geospatial dataset titled "Mean annual water-budget components for the Island of Maui, Hawaii, for average climate conditions, 1978-2007 rainfall and 2010 land cover (version 2.0)" by Johnson (2017). The 2010 land-cover map was generated by intersecting (merging) multiple spatial datasets that characterize the spatial distribution of rainfall, cloud-water (or fog) interception, irrigation, reference evapotranspiration, direct runoff, soil type, and land cover. Land-cover designations in the 2010 land-cover map were derived mainly from the U.S. Geological Survey LANDFIRE Existing Vegetation Type map (LANDFIRE.HI_110EVT, Refresh 2008) for the island of Maui. The 2017 land-cover map retains the merged structure of the 2010 land-cover map but includes modifications mainly related to agricultural land use since the release of the 2010 land-cover map. Modifications to the 2010 land-cover map included updating the land cover and vegetation designations, and the polygon boundaries in the 2010 land-cover map to reflect (1) the cessation of sugarcane cultivation by Hawaiian Commercial &amp; Sugar Company in December 2016, and (2) the agricultural land-use information described in the Statewide Agricultural Land Use Baseline 2015 map by Melrose and others (2016). These modifications affected about 10 percent of the total area in the 2010 land-cover map. The 2017 land-cover map also distinguishes between (1) forested areas that are within the fog-interception zone, assumed to be at elevations of 2,000 feet and higher on Maui, and (2) forested areas that are below the fog-interception zone. The same distinction was included in the analysis of Johnson and others (2018) and in the spatial structure of the 2010 land-cover map, but was omitted from the land-cover names in the attribute table of the 2010 land-cover map.

Water velocity profiling at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Electric Dispersal Barrier in the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal during passage of fully-loaded commercial tows in August 2017

In 2017, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Geological Survey, and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers undertook a large-scale interagency field study to determine the influence of commercial barge vessels on the efficacy of the Electric Dispersal Barrier System (EDBS) in the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal (CSSC) in preventing fish passage. This study included a series of trials in which a tow, consisting of a tug vessel and fully-loaded barges, transited the EDBS in both upstream-bound (n = 65) and downstream-bound (n = 66) directions. The U.S. Geological Survey measured velocity profiles during these trials using a SonTek Argonaut SW 3000 kHz acoustic Doppler velocity meter (SW) and a wall-mounted 600 kHz Teledyne RD Instruments Channel Master horizontal acoustic Doppler current profiler (CM) mounted on the west canal wall. The wall mounted instruments were located at the following WGS84 coordinates: (41.6423629, -88.060329). Velocity measurements for each run are included in this data release as comma separated value files. The configuration of the barges for each run and the time at which the bow and stern of the tow passes the velocity probes is provided in 2017_Run_Information.csv. The wall-mounted instrument setup used during this study was the same wall-mounted instrument setup used by LeRoy et al. (2016) in August 2016. For a diagram and photograph of the instrument setup used by LeRoy et al. (2016) (the same setup used herein), the reader is referred to Figures 1 and 2 of Davis et al. (2017).

Water velocity profiling at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Electric Dispersal Barrier in the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal during passage of fully-loaded commercial tows in August 2017: Wall Mounted Argonaut SW

In 2017, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Geological Survey, and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers undertook a large-scale interagency field study to determine the influence of commercial barge vessels on the efficacy of the Electric Dispersal Barrier System (EDBS) in the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal (CSSC) in preventing fish passage. This study included a series of trials in which a tow, consisting of a tug vessel and fully-loaded barges, transited the EDBS in both upstream-bound (n = 65) and downstream-bound (n = 66) directions. The configuration of the barges for each run is provided in 2017_Run_Information.csv.
A 3000 kHz SonTek Argonaut SW Acoustic Doppler Velocity Meter (ADVM), was mounted on the west canal wall at a depth of approximately 4.5 feet (1.7 meters), as measured on July 31, 2017 at 10:00 am CDT. The approximate elevation of the ADVM was 572.21 feet (NAVD88). The wall mounted instrument was located at (41.6423629, -88.060329). The provisional water surface elevation at the USGS streamflow gaging station on the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal ranged from 575.23 feet to 577.28 feet (NAVD88) over the study period (August 1 to August 11, 2017).
The ADVM measured horizontal profiles of streamwise and cross-stream components of velocity between the edge of tow transiting the EDBS and the West canal wall for each trial. The ADVM reported velocities at 10 bins spaced by 0.5 meters between 0.57 and 6.07 meters from the West canal wall. All velocity measurements represent an average of 10 pings, recorded every 10 seconds during measurement, and are included in this data release as Comma Separated Value (CSV) files. All time data is given in Central Daylight Time (CDT).

Sulfur isotope data for: Intermediate sulfidation type base metal mineralization at Aliabad-Khanchy, Tarom-Hashtjin metallogenic belt, NW Iran

These data represent sulfur isotope analyses of chalcopyrite from a base metal deposit in the Aliabad-Khanchy area in northwestern Iran. Rock samples were collected from outcrops, and chalcopyrite was separated for analysis by hand picking. The separates were analyzed for the ratio 34-S/32-S by elemental analyzer-isotope ratio monitoring mass spectrometry. Standardization was performed by analyzing internationally-distributed standards along with the unknowns and then normalizing the results to the accepted values for the standards.

White mica wavelength position map for Nabesna, Alaska, derived from imaging spectrometer reflectance data

A map of the wavelength position of the white mica 2,200 nanometer (nm) Al-OH absorption feature was compiled for a region of Nabesna, Alaska, using HyMap™ reflectance data provided and described in this data release. White mica wavelength position was computed for each pixel with spectrally predominant muscovite or illite. The computation was made using a function of the USGS PRISM (Processing Routines in IDL for Spectroscopic Measurements) software (Kokaly, 2011), programmed in Interactive Data Language (IDL; Harris Geospatial Solutions, Broomfield, Colorado).  The PRISM function applies linear continuum-removal (Clark and Roush, 1984) to the 2,200 nm feature and fits a parabola to three channels: the channel with the minimum value in continuum-removed reflectance and one channel on either side (Kokaly, 2011). PRISM uses the wavelength position of the axis of symmetry from the fitted parabola as the definition of wavelength value. The white mica wavelength values were output as a classification image, with classes in 1-nm (0.001-micron) increments.

Digital elevation models (DEMs) of the lower Elwha River, Washington, water year 2013 to 2016

Digital elevation models (DEMs) of the lower Elwha River, Washington, were created by synthesizing lidar and PlaneCam Structure-from-Motion (SfM) data. Lidar and still digital photographs were collected by airplane during surveys from 2012 to 2016. The digital photographs were used to create a SfM digital surface model. Each DEM represents the ending conditions for that water year (for example, the 2013 DEM represents conditions at approximately September 30, 2013). The final DEMs, presented here, were created from the most recent lidar before September 30 of a given year, supplemented with an error-corrected SfM model from a low-flow summer Elwha PlaneCam flight as close to 30 September as possible. This synthetic data product was created because the aerial lidar data had gaps near the river, which the SfM data were able to close. The georeferenced DEMs were used to assess the river's responses to the removal of the Elwha and the Glines Canyon dams upstream from the study area.
