Digital data sets that describe aquifer characteristics of the Antlers aquifer in southeastern Oklahoma

This data set consists of digitized aquifer boundaries of the
Antlers aquifer in southeastern Oklahoma. The Early Cretaceous-age
Antlers Sandstone is an important source of water in an area that
underlies about 4,400-square miles of all or part of Atoka,
Bryan, Carter, Choctaw, Johnston, Love, Marshall, McCurtain, and
Pushmataha Counties. The Antlers aquifer consists of sand, clay,
conglomerate, and limestone in the outcrop area. The upper part
of the Antlers aquifer consists of beds of sand, poorly cemented
sandstone, sandy shale, silt, and clay. The Antlers aquifer is
unconfined where it outcrops in about an 1,800-square-mile area.
		
The data set includes the outcrop area of the Antlers Sandstone
in Oklahoma and areas where the Antlers is overlain by alluvial
and terrace deposits and a few small thin outcrops of the
Goodland Limestone. Most of the aquifer boundary lines were
extracted from published digital geology data sets. Some of the
lines were interpolated in areas where the Antlers aquifer is
overlain by alluvial and terrace deposits near streams and
rivers. The interpolated lines are very similar to the aquifer
boundaries published in a ground-water modeling report for the
Antlers aquifer. The maps from which this data set was derived
were scanned or digitized from maps published at a scale of
1:250,000.

Baseline coastal oblique aerial photographs collected from False Cape State Park, Virginia, to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, May 6, 2008

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) conducts baseline and storm-response photography missions to document and understand the changes in the vulnerability of the Nation's coasts to extreme storms. On May 6, 2008, the USGS conducted an oblique aerial photographic survey from False Cape State Park, Virginia, to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, aboard a U.S. Coast Guard HH60 Helicopter aircraft at an altitude of 500 feet (ft) and approximately 1,200 ft offshore. This mission (08CH01) was conducted to collect data for assessing incremental changes in the beach and nearshore area since the last survey, which was flown in September 2003 (https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=03CCH01) (Subino 2013), and the data can be used to assess future coastal change.  The photographs provided are Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) images. The photograph locations are an estimate of the aircraft's position and do not indicate the location of the features in the images. These photographs document the configuration of the barrier islands and other coastal features at the time  of the survey. ExifTool (version 4.0) was used to add the following to the header of each photograph: time of collection, GPS latitude, GPS longitude, keywords, credit, artist (photographer), caption, copyright, and contact information. Photographs can be opened with any JPEG-compatible image viewer. All image times are recorded in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

CRKR2014_EAARLB_z17_n88g12A_mosaic_metadata: EAARL-B Submerged Topography—Crocker Reef, Florida, 2014

A submerged topography digital elevation model (DEM) mosaic for a portion of the submerged environs of Crocker Reef, Florida, was produced from remotely sensed, geographically referenced elevation measurements collected on April 13 and 22, 2014 by the U.S. Geological Survey. Elevation measurements were collected over the area using the second-generation Experimental Advanced Airborne Research Lidar (EAARL-B), 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 55 meters per second at an elevation of approximately 300 meters, resulting in a laser swath of approximately 240 meters with an average point density of 0.9 points per square meter. A peak sampling rate of 15–30 kilohertz results in an extremely dense spatial elevation dataset. More than 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.

Shorelines Extracted from 1984-2015 Landsat Imagery: Petit Bois Island, Mississippi (Polyline:  Individual Dates)

Shorelines Extracted from 1984-2015 Landsat Imagery: Petit Bois Island, Mississippi (Polyline: Individual Dates) is a line shapefile representing shorelines generated from satellite imagery that was collected from 1984 to 2015.  The sample frequency of satellite imagery is much higher, and the coverage much greater, than most routine high-resolution topographic surveys.  Certain aspects of barrier island morphology, such as island size, shape and position, can be determined from these images and can indicate erosion, land loss, and island breakup.  Studying how these characteristics evolve will help develop an understanding of how barrier islands will respond to climate change, sea level rise, and major storms in the future and that will serve to improve management of our coastal resources.

Wave model input files (ver. 2.0, November 2024)

Provided here are the required input files to run a standalone wave model (Simulating Waves Nearshore [SWAN]; Booij and others, 1999) on eleven model domains from the Canada-U.S. border to Norton Sound, Alaska. The model runs create a downscaled wave database (DWDB) which, can be used to reconstruct hindcast,  historical, or projected time series at each point in the model domains (see Engelstad and others, 2023 for further information on reconstruction of time-series). The model forcing files consist of reduced sets of binned wind and wave parameter combinations, hereafter termed ‘sea states’. The use of representative sea states allows for lower computational costs and follows modified methods outlined in for example Camus and others, 2011, Reguero and others, 2013, and Lucero and others, 2017. Wind and wave parameters were extracted from the ERA5 reanalysis (Hersbach and others, 2020; https://cds.climate.copernicus.eu/) for the hindcast period (1979–2019) and for the historical (1979-2014) and projected (2020-2050) time periods from WAVEWATCHIII wave model runs (Erikson and others, 2022) driven by winds and sea ice fields from the 6th generation Coupled Model Inter-comparison Projects (CMIP6 Haarsma and others, 2016 The extent of each model domain can be inferred from the browse graphic. Model input files are described in the Entity and Attribute Overview section.

National Land Cover Database 2001 (NLCD01) Imperviousness Layer Tile 1, Northwest United States: IMPV01_1

This 30-meter resolution data set represents the imperviousness layer for the conterminous United States 
for the 2001 time period. The data have been arranged into four tiles to facilitate timely display and 
manipulation within a Geographic Information System, browse graphic: nlcd01-partition. The National 
Land Cover Data Set for 2001 was produced through a cooperative project conducted by the Multi-Resolution 
Land Characteristics (MRLC) Consortium. The MRLC Consortium is a partnership of Federal agencies 
(www.mrlc.gov), consisting of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric 
Administration (NOAA), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), the U.S. Department of 
Agriculture (USDA), the U.S. Forest Service (USFS), the National Park Service (NPS), the U.S. Fish 
and Wildlife Service (USFWS), the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), and the USDA Natural Resources 
Conservation Service (NRCS). One of the primary goals of the project is to generate a current, consistent, 
seamless, and accurate National Land Cover Database (NLCD) circa 2001 for the United States at medium 
spatial resolution. For a detailed definition and discussion on MRLC and the NLCD 2001 products, refer to 
Homer and others (2004) and http://www.mrlc.gov/mrlc2k.asp.. The NLCD 2001 was created by partitioning 
the United States into mapping-zones. A total of 68 mapping-zones browse graphic: nlcd01-mappingzones.jpg 
were delineated within the conterminous United States based on ecoregion and geographical characteristics, 
edge-matching features, and the size requirement of Landsat mosaics. Mapping-zones encompass the whole 
or parts of several states. Questions about the NLCD mapping zones can be directed to the NLCD 2001 Land 
Cover Mapping Team at the USGS/EROS, Sioux Falls, SD (605) 594-6151 or mrlc@usgs.gov.

40-m Hillshaded relief image produced from elevation of the late-Wisconsinan regressive unconformity beneath Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts (GeoTIFF Image; UTM, Zone 19N, WGS 84)

Geologic, sediment texture, and physiographic zone maps characterize the sea floor of Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts. These maps were derived from interpretations of seismic-reflection profiles, high-resolution bathymetry, acoustic-backscatter intensity, bottom photographs, and surficial sediment samples. The interpretation of the seismic stratigraphy and mapping of glacial and Holocene marine units provided a foundation on which the surficial maps were created. This mapping is a result of a collaborative effort between the U.S. Geological Survey and the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management to characterize the surface and subsurface geologic framework offshore of Massachusetts.

Estimating Domestic Self-Supply Water Use for the Delaware River Basin, 2000 U.S. Census Block Groups

According to the U.S. Geological Survey, an estimated 258 million people nationwide, 
or 86% of the U.S. population, relied on public water supplies for their household use 
in 2005 (USGS, 2013). The remaining population obtains their water from different 
sources, such as a domestic self-supply well. However, the spatial distribution of 
water supply systems has not been compiled. Mapping where these people are 
located can be done within a GIS (Geographic Information System). The approach 
used takes into account a number of different attributes gathered from the United 
States Census Bureau for the block group and block shapes within the Delaware 
River Basin.

MODFLOW-NWT model used in simulations of selected climate scenarios of groundwater availability in the North Fork Red River aquifer, southwestern Oklahoma

A previously developed model (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20175098) was coupled with 
downscaled climate model data to determine the impact of climate variability on base 
flow and groundwater storage in the North Fork Red River aquifer, Oklahoma. The North 
Fork Red River aquifer is an alluvial aquifer that discharges groundwater to the North 
Fork Red River, which provides inflow to Lake Altus, an important water source for the 
surrounding communities. The impact of climate variability on hydrologic systems and 
the resulting effects on basins has become an important topic in assessing future water 
resources.  Global climate projections from general circulation models, including the 
Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5), have been developed to 
improve the understanding of climate science and forecast future climatic conditions. 
Due to the impact of climate variations on groundwater resources, it is important to 
communicate the ranges of results with water resource managers. To approximate a 
range in future base flow conditions and flow into Lake Altus, the Coupled Model 
Intercomparison Project Phase 5 climate data was downscaled to watershed scale 
using monthly Bias-Correction Spatial Disaggregation techniques. A time-series of 
scaling factors were developed and interpolated for three climate scenarios (central 
tendency, warmer/drier, and less warm-wetter) representing a range of future climate 
conditions for the period 2045–2074. These scaling factors were then applied to an 
existing soil-water-balance model dataset with climate data for the baseline period 
1980–2009 to produce recharge and evapotranspiration estimations for this future 
period. The downscaled climate data was applied to the finite-difference numerical 
groundwater-flow model of the North Fork Red River aquifer using MODFLOW-2005 
with the Newton formulation solver (MODFLOW-NWT) which was temporally discretized 
into 373 monthly transient stress periods representing the period 1980–2010. Three 
climate scenarios (central tendency, warmer/drier, and less warm/wetter) representing 
a range of future climate conditions for the period 2045–2074 were simulated. This USGS 
data release contains all of the input and output files for the simulations described in the 
associated journal article (http://doi.org/10.1007/s10040-020-02230-x).
