Streams layers from the Hydrologic Derivatives for Modeling and Analysis (HDMA) database -- Africa

This dataset contains the streams derived from the Digital Elevation Model (DEM) for the African continent from the Hydrological Derivatives for Modeling and Analysis (HDMA) database. The HDMA database provides comprehensive and consistent global coverage of raster and vector topographically derived layers, including raster layers of digital elevation model (DEM) data, flow direction, flow accumulation, slope, and compound topographic index (CTI); and vector layers of streams and catchment boundaries. The coverage of the data is global (-180º, 180º, -90º, 90º) with the underlying DEM being a hybrid of three datasets: HydroSHEDS (Hydrological data and maps based on SHuttle Elevation Derivatives at multiple Scales), Global Multi-resolution Terrain Elevation Data 2010 (GMTED2010) and the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM). For most of the globe south of 60º North, the raster resolution of the data is 3-arc-seconds, corresponding to the resolution of the SRTM. For the areas North of 60º, the resolution is 7.5-arc-seconds (the smallest resolution of the GMTED2010 dataset) except for Greenland, where the resolution is 30-arc-seconds. The streams and catchments are attributed with Pfafstetter codes, based on a hierarchical numbering system, that carry important topological information.

High resolution landcover for the Western Gulf Coastal Plain of Louisiana

The dataset includes Land Use/Land Cover types throughout the Chenier Eco-Region in Southwest Louisiana. Using the 2015 NAIP dataset (1m) as the basemap, E-Cognition image objects were derived from the multiresolution segmentation algorithm at 75 and 250 segments. Attempts to refine the data training methods using E-cognition, to extrapolate automating categories of this information to the entire map resulted with exceedingly low accuracy. Therefore, a raster was produced by piecing together several data resources, which provide reliable data for specific LULC categories. This process involved stitching together more reliable sources for specific categories to apply to higher resolution (75) segmentation product. Reference datasets include; 12,000 aerial points assigned to image objects derived from 75 segmentation settings (previously used to develop scripts for data training), mask created from NWI 2008 including water, wetland forested, upland forested and scrub/shrub categories, BOEM marsh classes, NLCD urban areas, and CDL data. The raster produced from this process was applied to the vector image objects derived from the 250 segmentation settings, using a majority filter (greater than 50 percent). The series of draft shapefiles were manually edited and merged, resulting in the final dataset.

Continuous temperature measurements to assess upstream connection of off-channel features of the middle and upper Willamette River, Oregon, Summer, 2016

Temperature loggers were placed on the ground (n=4) and hung in the air (n=2) near the upstream connection point of four Willamette River off-channel features (side channels and alcoves) to assess timing and discharge conditions when these four off-channel features were inundated at the upstream end with flow from the main channel. Temperature readings indicate that the upstream end of an off-channel feature is inundated when the ground temperature sensor does not match nearby air temperature readings, indicating the ground sensor is submerged by river water. Temperature loggers were installed from late May through mid-November, 2016, when discharge of the Willamette River was between approximately 5,500 and 45,000 cubic feet per second at Salem, Oregon (3,500 to 17,500 cubic feet per second at Harrisburg, Oregon). The timing and persistence of surface water connections between off-channel features and the main channel are key variables in understanding changes in temperature and water quality conditions within off-channel features.

Bioelectrical impedance analysis for an endangered desert fish—Data

These data were used to examine the effectiveness of a non-lethal tool (Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis, "BIA") to estimate the physiological condition of endangered and threatened fishes in the Colorado River Basin. We conducted laboratory trials using hatchery-raised Humpback Chub and Bonytail and wild-captured Roundtail Chub, where fish were subjected to different feeding trials to elucidate a response in physiological condition and different temperature treatments to approximate field conditions. At the end of each 6-week trial fish were removed from tanks, lateral and dorsal measurements of BIA were taken, and fish were sacrificed for proximate composition analysis (lipid, protein, water, ash, dry mass, energy density). We developed models that evaluated the effectiveness of BIA alone vs. standard morphological condition-based measurements taken in the field (e.g., using total length and wet mass). We conducted a simulation experiment to increase the observation error around morphological wet mass measurements to determine the crititcal error at which BIA becomes a more important predictor of proximate composition than condition factor. In addition, we tested the influence of different BIA temperature conversion factors (20 °C, 15 °C, none) for use in Humpback Chub GLMM models. We also conducted an experiment to determine mortality rates when standard field methods or BIA is used to estimate fish condition. Detailed methods and results are reported in the manuscript associated with this data publication.

Water surface elevations recorded by submerged water level loggers in off-channel features of the middle and upper Willamette River, Oregon, Summer, 2016

Water surface elevations within seven Willamette River off-channel features (OCF; alcoves and side channels) were measured using submerged pressure transducers. Transducers were installed from late May through mid-October, 2016, when discharge of the Willamette River was between approximately 5,500 and 45,000 cubic feet per second at Salem, Oregon (USGS gage 14191000) and 3,500 to 17,500 cubic feet per second at Harrisburg, Oregon (USGS gage 14166000). Pressure transducer sensor depth was measured at all seven sites. For five of the sites, pressure transducer sensor depths were converted to water surface elevations by surveying the water surface at each transducer with a real-time kinematic global positioning system (RTK-GPS). Additionally, three barometric sensors were installed for barometric compensation of the water levels. These pressure transducer data sets were collected to characterize relationships between Willamette River discharges and water surface elevations in off-channel features. The USGS reserves the right to place these data into the USGS National Water Information System (NWIS) database at some point in the future, at which point the NWIS copy of the data would become the definitive copy.
