Ground control point locations for the UAS survey of the coral reef off Waiakane, Molokai, Hawaii, 24 June 2018

This portion of the data release presents the locations of the temporary ground control points (GCPs) used for the structure-from-motion (SfM) processing of the imagery collected during an unoccupied aerial system (UAS) survey of the coral reef off Waiakane, Molokai, Hawaii, on 24 June 2018. Twenty temporary ground control points (GCPs) were distributed throughout the survey area to establish survey control. The GCPs consisted of: nine submerged targets consisting of small (80 centimeter X 80 centimeter) square tarps with black-and-white cross patterns anchored to the shallow (less than 1.5 meters deep) seafloor using 0.9 kilogram fishing weights; nine sub-aerial targets consisting of orange plastic five-gallon bucket lids (32 centimeter diameter) painted with a black “X” pattern and affixed in a horizontal orientation to vertical rebar stakes placed in areas of reef rubble to provide the targets with sufficient elevation to remain above the water surface; and two sub-aerial ground targets consisting of small (80 centimeter X 80 centimeter) square tarps with black-and-white cross patterns placed in the sand at the shoreline. The GCP positions were measured using post-processed kinematic (PPK) GPS, using corrections from a GPS base station (MK02) located approximately 1 kilometer from the study area. Reference coordinates for MK02 were established using the mean position derived from four static GPS occupations with durations greater than 4 hours submitted to the National Geodetic Survey Online Positioning User Service (NGS OPUS). The GCP positions are presented in a comma-delimited text file.

Simulated flood-inundation extents for the Muddy River, near Moapa, Nevada

This polygon shapefile represents model simulated flood-inundation extents for the Muddy River, near Moapa Nevada. A flood frequency analysis was performed at USGS streamgage 09416000 - Muddy River near Moapa, Nevada, to estimate the 50, 20, 10, 4, 2, and 1-percent annual exceedance probability (AEP) flood streamflows. The flood-inundation extents for the 50-, 20-, 10-, 4-, 2-, and 1-percent AEP floods were simulated for the current levee location in 2019 and for the new levee location of the proposed restoration. One model simulation represents the levee at its current (existing) location in 2019 on the east bank of the river and referred to as ‘current conditions (2019).’ A second model simulation removes the existing levee and represents the new levee location farther away from the river on the east side of the proposed restoration area. The second model simulation is referred to as the ‘proposed restoration conditions.’ Both model simulations had the same flood-hydrographs, hydraulic structures, and roughness coefficients; however, the topography data used for each model simulation was adjusted to represent differing locations of the existing and proposed levees.  Flood-inundation extents were simulated with a coupled 1-D- and 2-D unsteady hydraulic model in the Hydrologic Engineering Center’s River Analysis System (HEC-RAS) computer program. Those locations where the water-surface was higher than the land surface were defined as inundated. The inundation polygons are named by AEP flow (50, 20, 10, 4, 2, 1-percent) and condition (current and proposed restoration).

SAWSC rural flood-frequency regression models (R scripts and applications) [child item]: Model Archive for Magnitude and Frequency of Floods for Rural Streams in Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina, 2017

Reliable estimates of the magnitude and frequency of floods are an important part of the framework for hydraulic-structure design and flood-plain management in Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina. Annual peak flows measured at U.S. Geological Survey streamgages are used to compute flood-frequency estimates at those streamgages. Flood-frequency estimates also are needed at ungaged stream locations. A process known as regionalization was used to develop regression equations to estimate the magnitude and frequency of floods at ungaged locations.
This USGS data release serves as the model archive for the at-site flood-frequency statistics and regression models that were developed as a part of this study.

Questions and responses to USGS-wide poll on quality assurance practices for timeseries data, 2021

This data record contains questions and responses to a USGS-wide survey conducted to identify issues and needs associated with quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) of USGS timeseries data streams. This research was funded by the USGS Community for Data Integration as part of a project titled “From reactive- to condition-based maintenance: Artificial intelligence for anomaly predictions and operational decision-making”. The poll targeted monitoring network managers and technicians and asked questions about operational data streams and timeseries data collection in order to identity opportunities to streamline data access, expedite the response to data quality issues, improve QA/QC procedures, reduce operations costs, and uncover other maintenance needs. 
The poll was created using an online survey platform. It was sent to 2326 systematically selected USGS email addresses and received 175 responses in 11 days before it was closed to respondents. The poll contained 48 questions of various types including long answer, multiple choice, and ranking questions. The survey contained a mix of mandatory and optional questions. These distinctions as well as full descriptions of survey questions are noted on the metadata.

Rainfall data near the Black Hollow Debris Flow, Larimer County, Colorado 20 July 2021

The data presented in this data release represent the records from a rain gage near Black Hollow, CO, a watershed that is tributary to the Cache La Poudre River.  On 20 July 2021 a large rainstorm moved over the watershed and generated a large debris flow that destroyed several homes, resulting in four fatalities. The watershed had been burned prior to the rainstorm during the Cameron Peak wildfire (13 August – 2 December 2020).  Here we present time-series data the Dry Creek rain gage, which captures the storm that triggered the Black Hollow debris flow. Latitude and Longitude data are included in the header.  The Dry Creek rain gage reports the number of tips at timesteps of 5 minutes, and each tip is equal to 0.01 inches of rainfall.

Burn probability models calibrated using past human and lightning ignition patterns in the Madrean Sky Islands, Arizona

Burn probability (BP) models involve the simulation of multiple individual wildfires across a landscape to obtain estimates of fire likelihood at any given location based on ignition source, local terrain, fuels and weather. We used FlamMap software to generate BP for 10,000 simulated fires under the three ignition scenarios: human ignition scenario (HIS),  lightning ignition scenario (LIS) and random ignition scenario (RIS) for 13 sky island mountain ranges in Arizona. The zipped folder contains 42 BP models in geotiff format. The naming convention for each tiff is: mountain_range_name + scenario type (human, lightning, or random) + bp.

Refraction-corrected bathymetric point cloud from the UAS survey of the coral reef off Waiakane, Molokai, Hawaii, 24 June 2018

This portion of the data release presents a bathymetric point cloud from an unoccupied aerial system (UAS) survey of the coral reef off Waiakane, Molokai, Hawaii, on 24 June 2018. The point cloud has been corrected for the effects of refraction using the techniques described in Dietrich (2017a). The point cloud was created from structure-from-motion (SfM) processing of aerial imagery collected using a UAS with a Ricoh GR II digital camera fitted with a circular polarizing filter. During the survey, a pressure sensor was deployed in the survey area to gain an accurate measurement of the water surface elevation (WSE). After a preliminary dense point cloud was derived from SfM processing, the WSE was used to calculate apparent water depths. These apparent depths along with the estimated camera positions and orientations were used as inputs for the multi-view refraction correction python script (py_sfm_depth.py) described in Dietrich (2017b). The refraction-corrected point cloud showed a substantial improvement in accuracy over the uncorrected point cloud. When compared to the 2013 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Topobathy Lidar for the area in the central portion of the data set the vertical RMSE for the refraction-corrected point cloud was 0.241 meters with a mean residual of -0.010 meters, whereas the vertical RMSE for the uncorrected point cloud was 0.426 meters with a mean residual of -0.334 meters (see the Vertical Positional Accuracy Report in the metadata for a complete description of the accuracy analysis). For this data release, the final refraction-corrected point cloud is presented in the LAZ format (LAS 1.2 specification). The point cloud has 35,083,205 points with an average point spacing of 0.07 meters. Each point in the point cloud contains an explicit horizontal and vertical coordinate and red, green, and blue (RGB) color values.
