Water temperature data to support effectiveness monitoring of channel and floodplain restoration projects along the Willamette River, Oregon: Minto-Brown Island Park 2020-2021

Continuous water temperature data were collected at multiple sites along the Middle Fork and mainstem Willamette Rivers between Jasper and Newberg, Oregon, to support effectiveness monitoring for a large-scale channel and floodplain restoration program (Willamette Focused Investment Partnership, WFIP). Continuous water temperature loggers were deployed at a subset of WFIP restoration sites where river restoration activities were implemented to improve habitat conditions for native fish species. Data from water temperature monitoring will be used to evaluate the effectiveness of restoration activities at improving habitat conditions for Endangered Species Act (ESA)-listed salmonids and other native fish in the Willamette River. Additionally, water temperature monitoring in summer and early fall months at restoration sites is useful for determining whether thermal conditions at these sites are optimal, sub-optimal, or lethal for cold-water adapted fish species like spring Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha). Water temperature monitoring for this study spans 2019 through 2022. Water temperature loggers were suspended in the water column on a wire between a concrete block and a buoy as part of a monitoring arrays installed at multiple off-channel location throughout the study area.
This document describes data collected at the Minto-Brown Island Park monitoring site between 07/30/2020 and 10/19/2021 and associated data quality files. The monitoring site is within Willamette Slough, an alcove perennially connected to the Willamette River, and includes two monitoring arrays consisting of one water temperature logger suspended in the water column per array from 07/30/2020 to 05/14/2021 and one monitoring array consisting of two water temperature loggers suspended at different elevations in the water column from 05/14/2021 to 10/19/2021. These data and metadata have been added to the data release originally published in 2021.

CONUS404 climate forcing variable subset for hydrologic models, 1979-2022: downscaled to 1 km and bias-adjusted for precipitation and temperature

This metadata record serves as documentation for the bias adjusted version of the CONUS404 (CONtiguous United States for 40-years at 4-kilometer grid spacing) atmospheric forcing dataset; however this dataset has been revised to include 43 years of data at 1-kilometer grid spacing. This is a dataset of historical conditions (water years 1980-2022, October 1, 1979-September 30, 2022) and has sufficient temporal and spatial detail to resolve mesoscale atmospheric processes, making it appropriate for forcing hydrological models and conducting meteorological analyses.
This data release includes the bias adjusted CONUS404 outputs (CONUS404 BA) and the adjustment grids that were used in the bias adjustment process. The adjustment grids are approximately 40 GB in size and contain the day of year bias value needed for the bias adjustment process. The CONUS404 BA outputs are approximately 65 TB in size and contain downscaled hourly data for U component of wind, V component of wind, downward longwave radiation, downward shortwave radiation, air temperature, water vapor mixing ratio, surface pressure, and accumulated precipitation variables. For definition of these variables, see the attribute table included in this metadata. The air temperature and accumulated precipitation variables were both downscaled and bias adjusted while the remaining variables were just downscaled. For information on the downscaling and bias adjustments conducted on these data, see the processing steps section on this metadata.
Access to Dataset
The CONUS404 BA outputs and the adjustment grids are being archived on the U.S. Geological Survey's Black Pearl tape drive system. The data can be accessed through a Globus access portal here: https://app.globus.org/file-manager?destination_id=0a0d322b-1adc-4c93-bfdb-18a6a848479e. The CONUS404 BA outputs are organized into folders by water year (for example, “WY2020”) and the day of year adjustment grids in one folder titled "adjustment_grids". In order to access the files, you will need to log in with an existing Globus account or create one and then perform a file transfer. If you are transferring the files to your local computer, you will also want to install and set up Globus Connect Personal to turn your local machine into an available Globus endpoint.

Chemical and isotopic composition of gas, water, and solids from the 2019-2020 water lake in Halema’uma’u Crater, Kīlauea Volcano, Hawaii: Sulfur isotope analysis of samples from outside the Kīlauea summit crater lake

Samples from outside the crater lake were analyzed for their sulfur isotopic composition.
Samples of sulfate alteration and native sulfur from the Kīlauea summit, Halema’uma’u crater (HMM), and the Lower East Rift Zone (LERZ) were ground, weighed into tin capsules, and analyzed by conversion to sulfur dioxide with an elemental analyzer. Samples were subsequently analyzed with a continuous flow isotope ratio mass spectrometer (Brenna, 1997).
Water samples from the NSF well on Kīlauea summit and samples of ash leachate from the 2018 eruption of Kīlauea were processed by precipitating dissolved sulfate as barium sulfate, using the methods described in Carmody and others (1997), and then analyzed as described above.
Samples are analyzed simultaneously with BaSO4 isotopic reference materials.  No correction for oxygen isotopic composition is made to the reported sulfur isotope data.  For oxygen isotope ratio measurements, BaSO4 is converted into CO with a Thermo-Finnigan Thermo-Chemical Elemental Analyzer at 1325°C.  The CO is analyzed for oxygen isotopic composition using a continuous flow isotope ratio mass spectrometer analyzing (Böhlke and others, 2003; Brand and others, 2009). The 2-sigma uncertainty of both sulfur and oxygen isotope ratio determinations is 0.4 per mil, and reported relative to VCDT and VSMOW respectively.

Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) 2005, 2008, 2012, 2016 and 2018 Site 2608 land-water matrix

Wetland restoration efforts conducted by the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) in Louisiana rely on monitoring to determine the efficacy of these projects. 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 390 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. This dataset consists of a matrix of five land-water products (2005, 2008, 2012, YYYY and 2018).  The resulting matrix has 32 possible classes defined by the combination of land and water categories on those five dates.

Esri Binary 2-m Bathymetric Grid of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Survey H12023 in Block Island Sound (H12023_2M_UTM, UTM Zone 19, NAD83)

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), is producing detailed geologic maps of the coastal sea floor. Bathymetric and sidescan-sonar data, originally collected by NOAA for charting purposes, provide a fundamental framework for research and management activities along this part of Block Island Sound, show the composition and terrain of the seabed, and provide information on sediment transport and benthic habitat. During June 2012, bottom photographs and surficial sediment data were acquired as part of a ground-truth reconnaissance survey of this area. Interpretations were derived from the multibeam-echosounder, sidescan-sonar, sedimentary, and photographic data collected in Block Island Sound. For more information on the ground-truth survey see &lt;http://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/operations/ia/public_ds_info.php?fa=2012-002-FA&gt;.

DisOcean: Distance to the ocean: Edwin B. Forsythe NWR, NJ, 2014

Understanding how sea-level rise will affect coastal landforms and the species and habitats they support is critical for crafting approaches that balance the needs of humans and native species. Given this increasing need to forecast sea-level rise effects on barrier islands in the near and long terms, we are developing Bayesian networks to evaluate and to forecast the cascading effects of sea-level rise on shoreline change, barrier island state, and piping plover habitat availability. We use publicly available data products, such as lidar, orthophotography, and geomorphic feature sets derived from those, to extract metrics of barrier island characteristics at consistent sampling distances. The metrics are then incorporated into predictive models and the training data used to parameterize those models. This data release contains the extracted metrics of barrier island geomorphology and spatial data layers of habitat characteristics that are input to Bayesian networks for piping plover habitat availability and barrier island geomorphology. These datasets and models are being developed for sites along the northeastern coast of the United States. This work is one component of a larger research and management program that seeks to understand and sustain the ecological value, ecosystem services, and habitat suitability of beaches in the face of storm impacts, climate change, and sea-level rise.

Shot-point calibrated trackline navigation for chirp seismic data collected in Indian River Bay, Delaware, on April 13, 2010, on U.S. Geological Survey Field Activity 2010-006-FA (IR_ROUTES_CALIB.SHP, Geographic, WGS 84)

A geophysical survey to delineate the fresh-saline groundwater interface and associated sub-bottom sedimentary structures beneath Indian River Bay, Delaware, was carried out in April 2010. This included surveying at higher spatial resolution in the vicinity of a study site at Holts Landing, where intensive onshore and offshore studies were subsequently completed. The total length of continuous resistivity profiling (CRP) survey lines was 145 kilometers (km), with 36 km of chirp seismic lines surveyed around the perimeter of the bay. Medium-resolution CRP surveying was performed using a 50-meter streamer in a bay-wide grid. Results of the surveying and data inversion showed the presence of many buried paleochannels beneath Indian River Bay that generally extended perpendicular from the shoreline in areas of modern tributaries, tidal creeks, and marshes. An especially wide and deep paleochannel system was imaged in the southeastern part of the bay near White Creek. Many paleochannels also had high-resistivity anomalies corresponding to low-salinity groundwater plumes associated with them, likely due to the presence of fine-grained estuarine mud and peats in the channel fills that act as submarine confining units. Where present, these units allow plumes of low-salinity groundwater that was recharged onshore to move beyond the shoreline, creating a complex fresh-saline groundwater interface in the subsurface. The properties of this interface are important considerations in construction of accurate coastal groundwater flow models. These models are required to help predict how nutrient-rich groundwater, recharged in agricultural watersheds such as this one, makes its way into coastal bays and impacts surface water quality and estuarine ecosystems. For more information on the survey conducted for this project, see https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=2010-006-FA.
