Extended Seasonal Discharge Records for Selected Streamgage Sites in the Fortymile River Basin, Alaska, 1976-2020

Daily mean discharge is needed for water resource management of selected streams in the Fortymile River Basin. The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, developed a technique for estimating seasonal discharge at two short-record streamgage sites in the basin and evaluated the accuracy of the estimated records. Daily mean discharge values were estimated for May 15–September 30 for 1976–82 and 2006–18 for the U.S. Geological Survey streamgage sites 15330000, North Fork Fortymile River above Middle Fork near Franklin, Alaska and 15331000, Middle Fork Fortymile River near mouth near Chicken, Alaska. Relations between discharge for each study streamgage and an index streamgage, 15348000, Fortymile River near Steele Creek, Alaska, for concurrent seasonal periods in 2019 and 2020 were developed using the maintenance of variance extension type 3 (MOVE.3) record extension technique. The MOVE.3 regressions were used to estimate daily mean discharges at the study streamgage sites for the selected season for the longer period of record of the index streamgage. In addition, estimated records were generated from the regressions for the concurrent seasonal periods to evaluate the accuracy of the record extension techniques.

Percentage of Hypothetical Well Pumpage Causing Depletions to Simulated Base Flow, Evapotranspiration, and Groundwater Storage in the Elkhorn and Loup River Basins, 2006 through 2055

This data release includes a polygon shapefile of grid cells attributed with values representing the 
simulated base-flow, evapotranspiration, and groundwater-storage depletions as a percentage of 
hypothetical well pumpage for the 2006-2055 time period. Depletions were simulated by the 
Phase-Two Elkhorn-Loup Model (ELM), constructed using MODFLOW-2005 (Harbaugh, 2005) 
with the Groundwater Vistas, version 5, software (Environmental Simulations, Inc., 2009). Each 
polygon represents one model grid cell. All values are estimates and approximations.
The Phase-Two ELM simulated the High Plains aquifer in north-central Nebraska from 
predevelopment (pre-1895) through 2055 (Stanton and others, 2010). The simulation was 
calibrated using an automated parameter-estimation method to optimize the fit of simulation 
outputs to three sets of calibration targets: estimated 1939 groundwater levels and base flows 
(representing pre-1940 conditions), 1945-through-2005 decadal groundwater-level changes, 
and 1940-through-2005 annual base flows. The calibrated simulation was used to estimate 
volumetric ratios of the reductions in base flow, evapotranspiration, and groundwater storage 
to the total volume of water pumped from a hypothetical well for a 50-year future time period. 
Ratios were then multiplied by 100 to obtain percentages. The 50-year period was selected 
because base-flow depletion percentages for 40- to 50-year periods are the basis of groundwater 
and surface-water management decisions in Nebraska.

Raw absorbance values from serially diluted uninfected whole blood in different lysis buffers for Hawaiian Island forest bird avian malaria detection, 2005-2006

It is unclear whether DNA lysis buffers used for preservation of whole blood samples from Hawaiian forest birds cause denaturation and loss of antigen binding capability of antibody molecules. If their antigen binding capability is not affected, then the samples can be used in serological assays to provide an independent assessment of the accuracy of PCR (polymerase chain reaction) diagnostic tests for avian malaria.
This data set provides raw absorbance measurements that were collected with a BioRad Model 3550 ELISA plate reader at a wavelength setting of 405 nm for different dilutions of blood from an uninfected Hawaii Amakihi. The blood was preserved in different lysis buffers or placed in phosphate buffered saline as an untreated control.

Mean tidal range in salt marsh units of Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge, New Jersey (polygon shapefile)

Biomass production is positively correlated with mean tidal range in salt marshes along the Atlantic coast of the United States of America. Recent studies support the idea that enhanced stability of the marshes can be attributed to increased vegetative growth due to increased tidal range. This dataset displays the spatial variation mean tidal range (i.e. Mean Range of Tides, MN) in the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge (EBFNWR), which spans over Great Bay, Little Egg Harbor, and Barnegat Bay in New Jersey, USA. MN was based on the calculated difference in height between mean high water (MHW) and mean low water (MLW) using the VDatum (v3.5) software (http://vdatum.noaa.gov/). The input elevation was set to zero in VDatum to calculate the relative difference between the two datums. 
As part of the Hurricane Sandy Science Plan, the U.S. Geological Survey has started a Wetland Synthesis Project to expand National Assessment of Coastal Change Hazards and forecast products to coastal wetlands. The intent is to provide federal, state, and local managers with tools to estimate their vulnerability and ecosystem service potential. For this purpose, the response and resilience of coastal wetlands to physical factors need to be assessed in terms of the ensuing change to their vulnerability and ecosystem services. EBFNWR was selected as a pilot study area.

Pacific Walrus Blubber Lipid Content and Fatty Acid Composition, St. Lawrence Island, 2007-2010

This dataset contains lab-measured percent lipid and fatty acid composition data from Pacific walruses harvested in waters near Saint Lawrence Island. Each row indicates data from a single layer from a blubber core sample collected from one body site (flank, rump, or sternum) from one walrus harvested by Native Alaskans during the spring walrus hunts of 2007 - 2010. Blubber cores were divided into two roughly equal depths (inner and outer) and individually characterized. Results are proportion lipid content of the sub-sample mass and proportional abundance of each fatty acid of total fatty acids identified in the sub-sample on a wet-weight basis. Some samples were found to be inadequate due to lack of anatomical landmarks and do not have laboratory values indicated. Some samples are flagged as being incomplete based on notes from the laboratory.
