Digital data sets that describe aquifer characteristics of the Tillman terrace and alluvial aquifer in southwestern Oklahoma

This data set consists of digital polygons of constant recharge
values for the Tillman terrace and alluvial aquifer in
southwestern Oklahoma. The Tillman terrace and alluvial aquifer
encompasses the unconsolidated terrace deposits and alluvium
associated with the North Fork of the Red River and the Red
River in the western half of Tillman County. These sediments
consist of discontinuous layers of clay, sandy clay, sand, and
gravel. The aquifer extends over an area of 285 square miles and
is used for irrigation and domestic purposes. Granite and the
Hennessey Formation outcrop in northern parts of the aquifer
where alluvial deposits are absent. These outcrops were included
as part of the aquifer in a thesis in which the ground-water
flow in the aquifer was modeled.
A recharge value of 2.87 inches per year was used in the
ground-water flow model and in this data set. The recharge
polygons were derived from two sources. The outer polygon
representing the outer shell of a model grid for a ground-water
flow model of the Tillman terrace and alluvial aquifer was
digitized from a paper map in a thesis at a scale of 1:249,695.
Polygons and lines representing geologic contacts were extracted
from a published digital surficial geology data set based on a
scale of 1:250,000. Small polygons along the eastern boundary of
the aquifer were created when the outer polygon of the model
grid and the geology polygons and lines were combined. These
small polygons represent geologic units other than the Tillman
terrace and alluvial aquifer within the model grid. Three small
polygons representing outcrops of granite and the Hennessey
Formation in the northern parts of the aquifer also were
extracted from the digital surficial geology data set.
Ground-water flow models are numerical representations that
simplify and aggregate natural systems. Models are not unique;
different combinations of aquifer characteristics may produce
similar results. Therefore, values of recharge used in the
model and presented in this data set are not precise, but are
within a reasonable range when compared to independently
collected data.

Interpretation of the Sedimentary Environments of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) H11320 Sidescan Sonar Mosaic in Rhode Island Sound (H11320ENVIRONS)

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is working cooperatively with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to interpret the surficial geology in estuaries along the coast of the northeastern United States. The purpose of our present study is to define the sea floor morphology and sedimentary environments in an area of Rhode Island Sound using sidescan sonar imagery, multibeam bathymetry, and seismic records. The mosaic, bathymetry, and their interpretations serve many purposes, including: (1) defining the geological variability of the sea floor, which is one of the primary controls of benthic habitat diversity; (2) improving our understanding of the processes that control the distribution and transport of bottom sediments and the distribution of benthic habitats and associated infaunal community structures; and (3) providing a detailed framework for future research, monitoring, and management activities. The sidescan sonar mosaics and bathymetry images also serve as base maps for subsequent sedimentological, geochemical, and biological observations, because precise information on environmental setting is important for selection of sampling sites and for accurate interpretations of point measurements.

LANDFIRE Remap Forest Canopy Bulk Density (CBD) Micronesia

LANDFIRE’s (LF) 2016 Remap (Remap) Canopy Bulk Density (CBD) describes the mass of available canopy fuel per unit canopy volume that would burn in a crown fire. A spatially explicit map of CBD supplies information used in fire behavior models to determine the spread characteristics of crown fires across the landscape. The CBD mapping process derives field referenced estimates of canopy characteristics through LF Reference Database (LFRDB) plot analysis. Utilizing the LFRDB plots, field referenced CBD values are computed for each plot with the canopy fuel estimation software FuelCalc. In FuelCalc, for tree species that have no crown biomass, an equation for a species with a similar genus is used as a substitute. Species widely considered to be resistant to fire are excluded, for example, Acer and Populus spp. are excluded from the canopy fuel profile because these species are considered relatively inflammable and therefore unavailable. 
CBD has a series of post-processing techniques and logic checks ensuring it is relevant in the context of other fuel products and fire behavior predictions. All non-forest values and non-burnable types such as urban, barren, snow and ice, and agriculture are coded as 0. Some stands dominated by broadleaf species which typically do not permit initiation of crown fire (e.g. Populus spp.) are coded with a CBD of 0.01 kg m-3.  In some instances, LF Remap assumes the potential burnable biomass in the tree canopy has been accounted for in the surface fuel model. For example, young or short conifer stands where the trees are represented by a shrub type fuel model will not have canopy characteristics. 
LF Remap Annual Disturbance products are incorporated into CBD to provide informed changes by disturbance type, severity, and time since disturbance (TSD). Annual Disturbance products provide a pre-disturbance scenario represented by LF Remap existing vegetation products. Reporting of the pre-disturbance scenario helps to calculate CBD, with information about vegetation type, cover, and height impacted by a disturbance. With the use of Annual Disturbance products, CBD also has capable fuels functionality. Capable fuels calculate TSD assignments for disturbed areas using an "effective year." For example, year 2020 fuels may be calculated for the year 2020. the new process considers all the existing disturbances included in LF Remap and adjusts the TSD for these to the effective year (2020 in the example), making the products "2020 capable fuels." More information about capable fuels can be found at https://www.landfire.gov/lf_remap.php.

USGS CoastCam at DUNEX: Timestack Imagery and Coordinate Data (Camera 1)

Two digital video cameras were temporarily installed at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge (PINWR) in North Carolina (NC), as part of the DUring Nearshore Event eXperiment (DUNEX). DUNEX was a collaborative community-led experiment that took place in the fall of 2021 along the Outer Banks of NC, with the goal of improving the understanding, observational techniques, and predictive capabilities for extreme storm processes and impacts within the coastal environment. At the USFWS PINWR site, cameras were deployed for about a month, from September 18 to October 24, 2021, during which several storms passed offshore of the site. The cameras were mounted on separate 7-meter (m) tall masts within the dune, facing northeast and offshore, in a stereo configuration with approximately 75% overlap in field of view, to measure shoreline water levels and coincident topographic beach profiles. Images were collected during daylight hours with two schemes: 1) both cameras recording at 1 Hertz (Hz) for 5 minutes (min) starting 10 min before the hour for stereo photogrammetric processing to measure topographic beach profiles, and 2) one camera recording at 2 Hz for 17 min starting at the top of the hour for producing snapshots and time-averaged image products used to measure wave runup. One such product is a "runup timestack", which is created by sampling a cross-shore array of pixels from an image through time as waves propagate towards and run up a beach. Runup timestacks store the red, green, and blue (RGB) pixel intensity as a function of the cross-shore position for the sampling time period. This data release is for camera 1 timestack imagery, including coordinates in image, local, and world reference frames, which allows for quantitative measurements to be made. This camera is part of a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) research project to study the beach and nearshore environment. USGS researchers utilize the timestack imagery collected from this camera to remotely sense information such as wave runup. This camera is part of the USGS CoastCam network.

Tracklines of swath bathymetry collected by the U.S. Geological Survey surrounding Muskeget Channel, MA, 2010 (Esri polyline shapefile, Geographic WGS 84, tracklines_2010_072_FA.shp)

These data were collected in a collaboration between the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The primary objective of this program was to collect baseline bathymetry for Muskeget Channel, Massachusetts, and identify areas of morphologic change within and around the channel. Repeat surveys in select areas were collected one month apart to monitor change. These data were collected to support an assessment of the effect on sediment transport that a tidal instream energy conversion facility would have within Muskeget Channel. Accurate data and maps of sea-floor topography are important first steps in monitoring bedform migration, fish habitat, marine resources, and environmental changes due to natural or human impacts. The data include high-resolution bathymetry, acoustic-backscatter intensity, sound velocity in water, and navigation data. These data were collected during two surveys between October 2010 and November 2011 onboard the research vessel (RV) Rafael using an SEA Ltd. SwathPlus interferometric sonar (234 kilohertz). More information about the cruise can be found on the Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center field activity Web page at https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=2010-072-FA.

Seafloor photographs (JPEG format)  collected by the U.S. Geological Survey offshore of Massachusetts within northern Cape Cod Bay (CCB_SEABOSS_PHOTOS)

These data were collected under a cooperative agreement with the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management (CZM) and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Coastal and Marine Geology Program, Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center (WHCMSC). Initiated in 2003, the primary objective of this program is to develop regional geologic framework information for the management of coastal and marine resources. Accurate data and maps of sea-floor geology are important first steps toward protecting fish habitat, delineating marine resources, and assessing environmental changes due to natural or human impacts. The project is focused on the inshore waters of coastal Massachusetts, primarily in water depths of 3-30 meters deep. Data collected for the mapping cooperative have been released in a series of USGS Open-File Reports (https://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/project-pages/coastal_mass/). The data collected in the study area located in Northern Cape Cod Bay Massachusetts includes high-resolution geophysics (bathymetry, backscatter intensity, and seismic reflection), and ground validation (sediment samples, video tracklines, and bottom photographs). The data were collected during five separate surveys conducted between 2006 and 2008 and cover 480 square kilometers of the inner continental shelf.

MODFLOW-2000 model files used to simulate wellbore flow and evaluate aquifer properties and heterogeneity in wells at Fort Irwin National Training Center, San Bernardino County, California

MODFLOW-2000 was used within the AnalyzeHOLE program--an integrated wellbore flow 
analysis tool (https://doi.org/10.3133/tm4F2)--to simulate the 2-D radial flow to each of six 
wells within three basins at the Fort Irwin National Training Center in San Bernardino County, 
California.  Wellbore flow was simulated for each well by using AnalyzeHOLE to evaluate 
aquifer properties and heterogeneity. Horizontal layers within the model (hydrogeologic units) 
were defined based on lithologic and geophysical logs from each well and adjusted during 
calibration.  The majority of the wells were installed in previously underdeveloped or minimally 
developed groundwater basins.  The information gathered from the models provides a basis 
for developing and constraining basin-scale hydrogeologic-framework and groundwater-flow 
models that will be used to further evaluate water resources in each groundwater basin.  This 
USGS data release contains all of the input and output files for the AnalyzeHOLE analysis of 
six wells described in the associated U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 
2019-5091 (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20195091).

Estimates of nitrogen-fertilizer sales for the conterminous United States in 1986

This coverage contains estimates of nitrogen-fertilizer sales for the
conterminous United States in 1986 as reported by the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (1990) and by Jerald Fletcher (West Virginia University
written commun., 1992). Nitrogen-fertilizer sales estimates in this
coverage are reported for each county polygon in tons of actual nutrient
sold (inorganic nitrogen, phosphate, and potash) as distinct from total
tons of fertilizer product.
		
The data are summarized for fertilizer years (i.e. the 1987 fertilizer
year runs from July 1, 1986 to June 30, 1987).
		
The polygons representing county boundaries in the conterminous United
States, as well as lakes, estuaries, and other nonland-area features were
derived from the Digital Line Graph (DLG) file representing the
1:2,000,000-scale map in the National Atlas of the United States (1970).
