A Two-Year Water-Column Time Series of Geochemical Data During a Limnological Shift in Mono Lake, California, 2017-2018

Mono Lake is a hypersaline (~85 ppt), alkaline (pH 9.8), closed-basin lake located in the eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains of California, USA (38°N, 119°W). Water enters the lake primarily from snowmelt and exits by evaporation (~1 m/yr). This hydrological condition, plus weathering reactions in the lake’s tributaries, produce the uniquely high salinity and pH characteristic of Mono Lake (Garrels &amp; MacKenzie, 1967). These properties also tightly tie lake levels and water chemistry to climate, with modern and Pleistocene highstands correlated with wet Sierra Nevada conditions (Benson et al. 1998).
Mono Lake is typically monomictic, with thermal-driven summer stratification that is disrupted by winter, wind-driven overturn. However, in years with very high summer freshwater inputs, a buoyant layer with ~10 ppt lower salinity can form at the surface of the lake that withstands winter mixing. This typically leads to protracted stratification that can continue for five or more years. During this time, the hypolimnion becomes euxinic, with sulfide concentrations reaching hundreds of micromolar (Miller et al. 1993). For example, following the high precipitation associated with the 1982 El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) event, snow melt brought a 2.6 m lake level rise that triggered persistent stratification from 1983 through 1989 (Melack et al. 2017). Mono Lake was again meromictic from 1996 to 2004, from 2006 to 2008, and briefly in 2010. It has since remained monomictic until the exceptional snow melt in 2017 when our study began.

Mean High Water Shorelines for the Outer Cape of Massachusetts from Nauset Inlet to Race Point (1998-2005)

This data release contains mean high water (MHW) shorelines for the Outer Cape of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, from Nauset Inlet to Race Point. From 1998-2005, the U.S. Geological Survey surveyed 45 kilometers of coastline 111 times using a ground-based system called Surveying Wide-Area Shorelines (SWASH). The SWASH system used a six-wheeled amphibious all-terrain vehicle as a platform for an array of Global Positioning System sensors. High-accuracy measurements of horizontal position, vertical position, and beach slope were collected at 0.5-second intervals as the vehicle traversed a single, shore-parallel line along the foreshore.
The data were interpolated onto a coast-following reference line at 2-meter intervals. The shoreline position (defined as the intersection of the MHW datum with the foreshore) was determined by extrapolating from the location of the vehicle-driven track to the location of the MHW contour. The uncertainty for each shoreline point was calculated and the shoreline data were written to netCDF and ASCII csv files. This SWASH dataset represents a unique time series for quantifying large-scale coastal evolution, seasonal shoreline variability, and coastal behavior due to storms.

Near-surface geophysical data collected in the Sunflower Drain study area near Delta, Colorado, March 2018

Near-surface geophysical surveys were conducted during March 2018 in an irrigated agricultural drainage near Delta, Colorado, locally know as Sunflower Drain. This data release presents results of two surveys, one using fiber-optic distributed temperature sensing (FO-DTS) and the second using a horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio (HVSR) passive seismic method. For the FO-DTS, a temperature sensitive armored cable with a spatial resolution of 3.31 feet (1.01 meter) was deployed along a 0.3 mile reach of Sunflower Drain. Data were collected and processed using an Oryx model SR Remote Logging DTS unit (Sensornet, 2020) run over a 48-hour period and integrated at 10-minute intervals. The DTS data are provided in two comma separated values (csv) files, one with raw values extracted from the instrument files (DTS_raw.csv) and a second with georeferenced minimum and average temperature data along the cable (DTS_summary.csv). Thirteen HVSR measurements were acquired at 8 sites within the study area using a MoHo Tromino Model TEP-3C three-component seismometer (MoHo, 2020). The HVSR method requires a measurement or estimate of shear-wave velocity, which depends on sediment composition and density, for the conversion of measured resonance frequency to a depth to bedrock (Lane and others, 2008). The shear-wave velocity was estimated from a HVSR measurement made adjacent to an observation well (Poly 7, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) station 384428107573901) with a well log (Thomas and others, 2019). Data provided in the 'HVSR_saf_files.zip' folder includes the raw HVSR data in SESAME ASCII format version 1 (SAF), showing the three-component time-series trace data for 1 vertical and 2 horizontal (north [N] and east [E]) components. The processed HVSR data for 6 sites shown in figure 12 of Mast (2020) are also included in pdf format in the 'Proccessed_HVSR.zip' folder.

U.S. Geological Survey and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Bathymetric Survey of Lake Koocanusa, Lincoln County, Montana, 2016—2018

In 2016, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) started collecting high-resolution multibeam echosounder (MBES) data on Lake Koocanusa. The survey originated near the International Boundary (River Mile (RM) 271.0) and extended down the reservoir, hereinafter referred to as downstream, about 1.4 miles downstream of the Montana 37 Highway Bridge near Boulder Creek (about RM 253). USACE continued the survey in 2017, completing a reach that extended from about RM 253 downstream to near Tweed Creek (RM 244.5). In 2018, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Idaho Water Science Center completed the remaining portion of the reservoir from RM 244.5 downstream to Libby Dam (RM 219.9). The MBES data collected in 2016 and 2017 by the USACE was combined with the MBES data collected in 2018 by the USGS. The USGS also developed a stage-area-capacity table at one-foot intervals from the minimum pool elevation (2,290.84 ft) to the maximum pool elevation (2462.84 ft) using the new bathymetry data. The updated stage-area-capacity table will be compared to the current usable storage estimate of 4,979,500 acre-feet and published in a USGS Scientific Investigations Map. A 10-ft digital elevation model (DEM) and minimum and maximum pool contours also were generated from the bathymetric data and are provided in this data release.

Effects of pulse duration on common hydroacoustic measures in Lake Erie in 2011-2012 and Ohio Reservoirs in 2017

Hydroacoustics is a common sampling tool in freshwater and marine ecosystems, yet the full potential of this tool remains restricted, owing to an incomplete understanding of the influence of many data collection settings. In particular, investigation into the effects of the pulse duration setting on common hydroacoustic measures remains limited. Hydroacoustic theory suggests that pulse duration can affect how many single targets (e.g., individual fish or invertebrates) are detected, the mean target strength (TS) of sample cells, and estimates of target density, especially in ecosystems with an abundance of potential targets. To quantify the influence of the pulse duration setting on these important and commonly used hydroacoustic measures, we sampled multiple ecosystems (Lake Erie and three tributary reservoirs) that span a wide gradient in fish density and regularly use hydroacoustics to assess fish biomass.

Horizontal-to-Vertical Spectral Ratio (HVSR) Soundings in Broome, Chenango, Franklin, Orange, Rensselaer, and Saratoga Counties, New York, and Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania 2010-2019

From 2010 through 2019, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, collected horizontal-to-vertical seismic soundings at locations in upstate New York and in Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania to evaluate the technique (control-point measurements) and to support aquifer-mapping projects (Heisig, 2013, 2015). 
he HVSR technique, commonly referred to as the passive-seismic method, is used to estimate the thickness of unconsolidated sediments and the depth to bedrock (Lane and others, 2008; Fairchild and others, 2013). The passive-seismic method uses a single, broad-band three-component (two horizontal and one vertical) seismometer to record ambient seismic noise. In areas that have a strong acoustic contrast between the bedrock and overlying sediments, the seismic noise induces resonance at frequencies that range from about 0.3 to 40 Hz. The ratio of the average horizontal-to-vertical spectrums produces a spectral-ratio curve with peaks at fundamental and higher-order resonance frequencies. The spectral ratio curve (the ratio of the averaged horizontal-to-vertical component spectrums) is used to determine the fundamental resonance frequency that can be used along with an average shear-wave velocity or a power-law regression equation to estimate sediment thickness and depth to bedrock (Lane and others, 2008; Brown and others, 2013; Fairchild and others, 2013; Chandler and others, 2014; and Johnson and Lane, 2016). 
he HVSR data presented in this data release were collected at each site for 30 minutes using a Tromino Model TEP-3C three-component seismometer. The data were processed with Grilla 2012 version. 6.2 software to 1) remove anthropogenic noise, 2) convert the time-domain data to frequency domain, 3) compute and plot the spectral ratio curve, and 4) determine the resonance frequency. 
his data release presents the resonance frequency and H to V ratios of peaks identified from the HVSR measurements. Raw and processed HVSR data for each HVSR measurement are presented in child item data sets. The HVSR data-collection sites are designated by a county sequential numbering system (BMHVSR79, DHVSR1, etc. where the prefix is a one or two letter county abbreviation, as follows: BM, Broome County; CN Chenango County; D, Delaware County; FR, Franklin; O, Orange County; RE, Rensselaer County; SA, Saratoga County).

Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) models for the Pee Dee River Basin used to simulate future streamflow and irrigation demand based on climate and urban growth projections

As part of the Coastal Carolinas Focus Area Study of the U.S. Geological Survey National Water Census Program, the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) was used to develop models for the Pee Dee River Basin, North Carolina and South Carolina, to simulate future streamflow and irrigation demand based on land use, climate, and water demand projections. SWAT is a basin-scale, process-based watershed model with the capability of simulating water-management scenarios. Model basins were divided into approximately two-square mile subbasins and subsequently divided into smaller, discrete hydrologic response units based on land use, slope, and soil type. The calibration period for the historic model was 2000 to 2014. The best available data on water-use from this time period were used, including public water supply, industrial water use, irrigation needs and golf courses. Six future scenario models simulated streamflow during the period 2055 to 2065 based on incorporation of two alternative land use projections, an ensemble of three global climate models, and water demand forecasts. This USGS data release contains all the input and output files for the simulations described in the associated model documentation report (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20235036).

Survey of first-floor elevations of buildings in the Lake Champlain floodplain, Vermont, 2020

In August 2020, the U.S. Geologic Survey acquired high-precision survey data of first-floor doorway threshold elevations at buildings in the Lake Champlain floodplain in Vermont. For a representative sample of buildings within the 106 feet (National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929) stage boundary of the regional flood-inundation map (Flynn and Hayes, 2019), 153 buildings, or nearly 12 percent of the total buildings, were surveyed. These data consist of Global Navigation Satellite System-derived orthometric heights in the North American Vertical Datum of 1988, which were measured by trigonometric leveling with a total station. 
Included in this data release are the raw and processed leveling control point data (unprocessed and processed GNSS benchmark and reference mark data, notes, and photographs), processed survey data for the first-floor elevations, scanned field notes, photographs from each field site, and a site map.

Stable isotope dynamics of herbivorous reef fishes and their ectoparasites: 2012, 2013, 2018

Acanthurid surgeonfishes are an abundant and diverse group of herbivorous fishes on coral reefs. While their contribution to trophic linkages and dynamics in coral reef systems has received considerable attention, the role of linkages involving their parasites has not. As both consumers of fish tissue and prey to microcarnivores, external parasites can play a significant role in trophic transfer between the primarily algae-based food source and the broader coral reef community. Stable isotope analysis is a common tool for studying trophic linkages, which can be used for studies involving parasites. These data were collected to examine the stable isotope ecology (13C and 15N) of copepod (Caligus atromaculatus) and monogenean (Neobenedenia sp.) ectoparasites collected from two species of Caribbean acanthurids (Acanthurus coeruleus and Acanthurus bahianus).
