Sonde data of continuous surface water flow-through system for the West Florida Shelf: USGS Cruise 11CEV01

The United States Geological Survey (USGS) is conducting a study on the effects of climate change on ocean acidification within the Gulf of Mexico; dealing specifically with the effect of ocean acidification on marine organisms and habitats. To investigate this, the USGS participated in cruises in the West Florida Shelf and northern Gulf of Mexico regions aboard the R/V Weatherbird II, a ship of opportunity lead by Dr. Kendra Daly, of the University of South Florida (USF). This cruise occurred January 3-7, 2011, leaving from and returned to Saint Petersburg, Florida. The USGS collected data pertaining to pH, dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), and total alkalinity in discrete samples. Thirty-six underway discrete samples in January were collected approximately hourly over a span of 745.3 km Flow-through conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) data were collected, which includes temperature, salinity, and pH. Corroborating the USGS data are the vertical CTD profiles collected by USF, using the following sensors: CTD, oxygen, chlorophyll fluorescence, optical backscatter, and transmissometer. Additionally, discrete depth samples for nutrients, chlorophyll, and particulate organic carbon/nitrogen were collected.

Enhanced Sidescan-Sonar Image of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Survey H11045, off Bridgeport, Connecticut (H11045_SSSGEO1M_WGS84.TIF, Geographic)

The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection, has produced detailed geologic maps of the sea floor in Long Island Sound. These studies have built upon cooperative research with the State of Connecticut that was initiated in 1982. This research program is currently studying sea-floor sediment distribution, processes that control sediment distribution, nearshore environmental concerns, and the relation of benthic community structures to the sea-floor geology.
Detailed maps of the sea floor are needed to aid in interpretation of the sea-floor geology. Therefore, sidescan-sonar data have been collected in areas of interest. Although these mosaics from NOAA surveys H11043, H11044, and H11045 in north-central Long Island Sound have been interpreted in prior reports, we have enhanced these three mosaics in order to minimize tonal artifacts created by the mismatching of backscatter in adjacent track lines. The enhanced mosaics provide a clearer image of the sea-floor geology.

XBeach Bottom Friction Scenarios: Model Inputs and Results for Hurricane Katrina Constant Land Friction Scenario

Using the numerical model XBeach version 4926 (Roelvink and others, 2009), various bottom friction scenarios were simulated for hurricanes Ivan (2004) and Katrina (2005) at Dauphin Island, Alabama as described in Passeri and others, 2018. The XBeach model setup requires the input of a merged topographic and bathymetric digital elevation model (DEM), and inputs of wave spectra (based on significant wave height, peak wave period and wave direction) and water level (tide and surge) time series. Model inputs and outputs in the form of topography and bathymetry are provided in this data release. For further information regarding model input generation and visualization of model output topography and bathymetry, refer to Passeri and others, 2018.

2019 North Carolina and Virginia USACE Lidar-Derived Dune Crest, Toe and Shoreline

The storm-induced Coastal Change Hazards component of the National Assessment of Coastal Change Hazards (NACCH) project focuses on understanding the magnitude and variability of extreme storm impacts on sandy beaches. Light detection and ranging (L=lidar)-derived beach morphologic features such as dune crest, toe, and shoreline help define the vulnerability of the beach to storm impacts. This dataset defines the elevation and position of the seaward-most dune crest and toe and the mean high-water shoreline derived from the 2019 United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) North Carolina and Virginia lidar survey. Beach width is included and is defined as the distance between the dune toe and shoreline along a cross-shore profile. The beach slope is calculated using this beach width and the elevation of the shoreline and dune toe.

Measured compaction for 24 extensometers in the Central Valley

This digital dataset contains the compaction data for 24 extensometers used for observations in the 
Central Valley Hydrologic Model (CVHM).  The Central Valley encompasses an approximate 50,000 
square-kilometer region of California. The complex hydrologic system of the Central Valley is simulated 
using the USGS numerical modeling code MODFLOW-FMP (Schmid and others, 2006).  This simulation 
is referred to here as the CVHM (Faunt, 2009). Utilizing MODFLOW-FMP, the CVHM simulates 
groundwater and surface-water flow, irrigated agriculture, land subsidence, and other key processes in 
the Central Valley on a monthly basis from 1961-2003.  The total active modeled area is 20,334 square-miles.   
Water levels, water-level altitude changes, and water-level and potentiometric-surface altitude maps; 
streamflows; boundary flows; subsidence; groundwater pumpage; water use; and water-delivery observations 
were used to constrain parameter estimates throughout the calibration of the CVHM.  Measured compaction 
from extensometers placed in the valley was used as a subsidence calibration target. The extensometer 
locations were obtained from USGS files and GPS locations. Subsidence monitoring observations can provide 
valuable information about hydrologic parameters such as elastic and inelastic skeletal specific storage. The 
CVHM was adjusted to fit the range of measured compaction at the extensometer sites utilizing UCODE-2005 
(Poeter and others, 2006) and manual calibration. The calibration target was the measured compaction from 
several extensometers in the region. Compaction though delayed drainage and re-pressurizing of aquitards 
was not simulated. The CVHM is the most recent regional-scale model of the Central Valley developed by the 
U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).  The CVHM was developed as part of the USGS Groundwater Resources 
Program (see "Foreword", Chapter A, page iii, for details).

Enhanced TIFF Sidescan-Sonar Mosaic East of Virgin Basin - Lake Mead, Nevada: Geographic Coordinates

Lake Mead is a large interstate reservoir located in the Mojave Desert of southeastern Nevada and northwestern Arizona.  It was impounded in 1935 by the construction of Hoover Dam and is one of a series of multi-purpose reservoirs on the Colorado River.  The lake extends 183 km from the mouth of the Grand Canyon to Black Canyon, the site of Hoover Dam, and provides water for residential, commercial, industrial, recreational, and other non-agricultural users in communities across the southwestern United States.  Extensive research has been conducted on Lake Mead, but a majority of the studies have involved determining levels of anthropogenic contaminants such as synthetic organic compounds, heavy metals and dissolved ions, furans/dioxins, and nutrient loading in lake water, sediment, and biota (Preissler, et al., 1998; Bevans et al, 1996; Bevans et al., 1998; Covay and Leiker, 1998; LaBounty and Horn, 1997; Paulson, 1981).  By contrast, little work has focused on the sediments in the lake and the processes of deposition (Gould, 1951).  To address these questions, sidescan-sonar imagery and high-resolution seismic-reflection profiles were collected throughout Lake Mead by the USGS in cooperation with researchers from University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV).  These data allow a detailed mapping of the surficial geology and the distribution and thickness of sediment that has accumulated in the lake since the completion of Hoover Dam.  Results indicate that the accumulation of post-impoundment sediment is primarily restricted to former river and stream beds that are now submerged below the lake while the margins of the lake appear to be devoid of post-impoundment sediment.  The sediment cover along the original Colorado River bed is continuous and is typically greater than 10 m thick through much of its length.  Sediment thickness in some areas exceeds 35 m while the smaller tributary valleys typically are filled with less than 4 m of sediment.  Away from the river beds that are now covered with post-impoundment sediment, pre-impoundment alluvial deposits and rock outcrops are still exposed on the lake floor.

Single-Beam Bathymetry Sounding Data of Loxahatcheee and St. Lucie Rivers, Florida (2003) in XYZ format

The Loxahatchee River and estuary is a small (544 square miles), shallow, water body located in Southeastern Florida that empties into the Atlantic Ocean at Jupiter Inlet. The watershed drains an area of over 200 square miles within northern Palm Beach and southern Martin counties. Historically this system was primarily fresh-water; however, tidal flows opened the inlet for some of the time. In 1947, the inlet was dredged for navigation and has remained permanently open since that time. Drainage patterns within the basin have been significantly altered due to drainage and development, road construction (e.g., Florida Turnpike, BeeLine Highway), and construction of the C-18 canal to provide flood protection for residential areas.
The St. Lucie Estuary (SLE) and its watershed are located on the Southeast coast of Florida in Martin and St. Lucie counties. The SLE watershed encompasses about 781 square miles and is divided into five major basins, which discharge into the Indian River Lagoon and the Atlantic Ocean through the St. Lucie Inlet. The St. Lucie Canal (C-44), along with the Caloosahatchee River (C-43) are important components of the Central and Southern Florida Project and are primarily used for water releases from Lake Okeechobee when lake levels exceed established regulatory requirements of the United States Army Corps of Engineers. The C-44 Basin is particularly dependent on the lake for supplemental water supply and aquifer recharge.
This report serves as an archive of processed single-beam bathymetry data that were collected in Loxahatcheee and St. Lucie Rivers, Florida in 2003. Geographic information system data products include a XYZ data, bathymetric contours, and USGS quadrangle map. Additional files include formal Federal Geographic Data Committee metadata.
