Characterizing freshwater and nutrient fluxes to West Falmouth Harbor, Massachusetts

These data present oceanographic and water-quality observations made at 4
locations in West Falmouth Harbor and 3 in Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts. While both
Buzzards Bay and West Falmouth Harbor are estuarine embayments, the input of
freshwater on the eastern margin of Buzzards Bay is largely due to groundwater. In
West Falmouth Harbor, the groundwater that seeps into the harbor is characterized by
relatively high levels of nitrate, originating from the Falmouth Wastewater
Treatment Plant. This high nitrate load has modified the ecology of the harbor, and
may be a significant source of nitrate to Buzzards Bay during seasons with low
biological nitrate uptake. The USGS undertook these measurements to improve
understanding of circulation, residence time, and water quality in the harbor and
bay. For more information on the field operations associated with data collection:

Cosmogenic Al-26/Be-10 Isochron Burial Data for the Nussbaum Gravel at Baculite Mesa, CO

We have constrained the age of the Nussbaum Gravel at Baculite Mesa, CO using cosmogenic Al-26/Be-10 isochron burial dating.  Two samples, a coarse sand and a fine gravel, were prepared for burial dating at the Reston Cosmogenic Nuclide (RECON) Lab and measured via accelerator mass spectrometry at the Purdue Rare Isotope Measurement (PRIME) Lab.  The results of this work are summarized in the file “BaculiteMesa_SiteLocation_Odom.csv”, which contains site data and burial age calculations; measurements of aluminum-26 and beryllium-10, as well as related data, are located in respective .csv files. We calculated respective minimum and maximum burial ages for the sand (1.25 ± 0.08 Ma and 1.66 ± 0.12 Ma) and gravel (1.44 ± 0.26 Ma and 2.17 ± 0.40 Ma).  An unconstrained isochron regression of these samples yields a most likely burial age of 1.11 ± 0.69 Ma; however, this isochron features a slightly negative estimate of postburial cosmogenic nuclide production that is not realistic.  This may be due to minor reworking of the gravel fraction. Forcing postburial production to zero produces a more likely representation of the data and yields a preferred burial age of 1.30 ± 0.08 Ma.  This age is consistent with a glacial advance in Missouri dated by cosmogenic nuclides to 1.31 ± 0.13 Ma (Balco and Rovey, 2010).  We are grateful for permission from landowner Darin Smith to access and sample this site.

GSFLOW, used to run PRMS and MODFLOW-NWT models, to simulate the effects of natural and anthropogenic impacts on water resources in the Rio San Jose Basin and surrounding areas, New Mexico

The Rio San Jose Integrated Hydrologic Model (RSJIHM) is a sequentially linked, integrated hydrologic model utilizing the Precipitation-Runoff Modeling System (PRMS) (version 5.2.0) and MODFLOW-NWT (version 1.2.0) that was developed to provide a tool for analyzing the hydrologic system response to historical water use and potential changes in water supplies and demands in the Rio San Jose Basin. PRMS and MODFLOW-NWT were run uncoupled using the U.S. Geological Survey developed GSFLOW executable (version 2.2.0). The study area encompasses about 6,300 square miles in west-central New Mexico and includes the communities of Grants, Bluewater, and San Rafael and three Native American tribal lands: the Acoma and Laguna Pueblos and the Navajo Nation. The study area has a scarcity of perennial surface-water features and most water resources consist of groundwater pumped from sedimentary and basaltic aquifers. The transient simulation period for the RSJIHM extends from January 1, 1950 through September 30, 2018. The period from 1944 through 1949 was chosen to simulate steady-state conditions and to provide initial heads for the transient MODFLOW-NWT. This U.S. Geological Survey data release contains all the input and output files for the RSJIHM documented in the associated model report (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20235028).

Traces of stochastic precipitation, stochastic potential evapotranspiration, stochastic temperature, and standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI) values

There are 100 traces in the simulation. This metadata file is only associated with the first trace (Trace_1), although a similar naming convention is used in each trace folder.
.\Reservoir SPEI Results\: This directory contains a folder for each trace (simulation) and each trace folder contains stochastic precipitation, stochastic potential evapotranspiration, stochastic temperature, and standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI) values for Grant Devine Reservoir, Rafferty Reservoir, Lake Darling Reservoir, and Boundary Reservoir (a replicate of Rafferty Reservoir). All data are provided with a monthly time step. SPEI is calculated for a number of previous months and for each reservoir a calculation of SPEI was done with a 3-month, 6-month, and 12-month lag. In addition, the average of the 3-month and 12-month lag was taken, the October value of the average SPEI was assumed to be equal to the SPEI on November 1 of each year and subset to one value per year in the stochastic streamflow dataset. Potential evapotranspiration (PET) and precipitation have units of millimeters.

Stream hydrology and a pulse subsidy shape patterns of fish foraging

Pulsed subsidy events create ephemeral fluxes of hyper-abundant resources that can shape annual patterns of consumption and growth for recipient consumers. However, environmental conditions strongly affect local resource availability for much of the year, and can heavily impact consumer foraging and growth patterns prior to pulsed subsidy events. Thus, a consumer’s capacity to exploit pulse subsidy resources may be influenced by antecedent environmental conditions, but this has rarely been shown in nature and is unknown in aquatic ecosystems. We sampled fish at a high frequency (daily - weekly measurements) to examine the importance of hydrologic variation and a salmon pulse subsidy on the foraging patterns of two stream fishes in a coastal southeast Alaska drainage. We then explored effects of inter annual hydrologic variation on Coho Salmon growth trajectories and sequential access to pulse subsidy resources (i.e., whether fish exceeded an egg consumption gape limit) in a bioenergetic simulation. These data were used to investigating the relative importance of streamflow and salmon spawning on the foraging patterns of two stream salmonids.

Hydraulic Geometry of Stream Channels in the Boston Mountains of Arkansas and Oklahoma

Fourteen stream reaches associated with stream flow-gaging stations, operated by the U.S. Geological Survey and distributed across the Boston Mountains of Arkansas and Oklahoma, were selected for analysis.  Cross-sectional area, top width, mean depth, streamflow, and floodplain cross-sections were surveyed for these 14 reaches. These data were used to develop regional hydraulic geometry curves relating drainage area to bankfull dimensions . Bed and bar material sampling was conducted at eight reaches to obtain information on the particle-size distributions of the streambed materials and to determine the shapes of the individual particles comprising the streambeds. The stream reaches at each stream gage location were classified using the Rosgen Level II stream type (Rosgen, 1996) based on the average of stream reach channel metrics collected from site cross-sections and profiles.

EAARL Coastal Topography--Dauphin Island, Alabama, 2010: Bare Earth

ASCII XYZ point cloud data were produced from remotely sensed, geographically referenced elevation measurements by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). Elevation measurements were collected over Dauphin Island, post-Tropical Storm Bonnie (July 2010 tropical storm), using the 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.

Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) 2018 Site 0632 land-water classification data

Wetland restoration efforts conducted by the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) in Louisiana rely on monitoring efforts to determine the efficacy of these efforts. The Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) was developed to assist in a multiple-reference approach that uses aspects of hydrogeomorphic functional assessments and probabilistic sampling for monitoring. The CRMS program includes a suite of approximately 398 sites that encompass the range of hydrological and ecological conditions for each stratum. As part of CRMS, land and water classifications are created from Digital Orthophoto Quarter Quadrangles (DOQQs) approximately every three years at all CRMS sites. A DOQQ is a raster image in which displacement in the image caused by sensor orientation and terrain relief has been removed and combines the image characteristics of a photo with geometric qualities of a map. The DOQQs generated for this project consist of 2018 Color Infrared (CIR) Digital Imagery. These images were classified into land and water categories using a threshold of the near infrared (NIR) band, followed by supervised and unsupervised classification.  Initial classification results are then reviewed by multiple image analysts to identify and manually recode errors. The final land-water classifications are intended to serve as both geographic and quantitative assessments of landscape composition on the date of acquisition. Four previous assessments have been conducted (2005, 2008, 2012, and 2015/2016). Once the program creates enough data points for statistical analyses, these data will be used for land area change rate calculation.

Daily reference and potential evapotranspiration, and supporting meteorological data from weather stations, solar insolation data from the GOES satellite, and blue-sky albedo data from the MODIS satellite, Florida, 2020

Potential evapotranspiration (PET), and reference evapotranspiration (ETo) are estimated on an approximately 2-kilometer (approximately 0.019 degrees longitude and 0.018 degrees latitude) spatial grid and at a daily time-scale from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020 for the entire State of Florida. PET and ETo were computed on the basis of solar radiation, meteorological data (min/max temperature, min/max relative humidity, and mean wind speed at 2-meter height), and shortwave blue-sky albedo data for 2020.  Solar radiation was computed from Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) sensor data; blue-sky albedo was computed from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MODIS) MCD43A1 BRDF/Albedo data product; and meteorological data were obtained from weather stations maintained by the University of Florida—Florida Automated Weather Network (FAWN), the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD), and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The average daily ETo and PET rates were 3.74 and 3.65 millimeters per day, respectively. Open source tools for managing the NetCDF files in this data release can be found at https://github.com/jbellino-usgs/Florida-GOES-ET.
