Input files for the “Fluvial Particle” model used in generating particle tracking simulations of the dye release experiment at Searcys Bend near Columbia, Missouri, May 5, 2021

This dataset contains the input Python files used to generate particle tracking simulations of the Searcys Bend dye release experiment using the “Fluvial Particle” model. There are four input files that each correspond to each of the model runs using different lateral eddy viscosity (LEV) parameter values at multiplies of 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 of the calculated value. Discussion of the chosen model parameters can be found in (insert paper reference). Documentation on running the model can be found at: (https://doi.org/10.5066/P9K1U4O0). One of the input parameters is the path to a file for particle starting locations called “StartLoc”, which is also provided within this data release (https://doi.org/10.5066/P9QOZM1N). Users wishing to run the model will need to ensure the path to the starting location file is set according to the directory structure on their machine. Because the start location file provides the individual locations for 12,500 particles, the model must be run with the same number of particles for the code to successfully execute. The parallelized version of the Lagrangian particle tracking algorithm can be used to run additional particles at multiples of 12,500. The simulations run for this work were run using the parallel version of the code distributed across 120 computation processing units (CPUs) for a total of 1,500,000 simulated particles.

Data compilation of soil respiration, moisture, and temperature measurements from global warming experiments from 1994-2014

This dataset is the largest global dataset to date of soil respiration, moisture, and temperature measurements, totaling &gt;3800 observations representing 27 temperature manipulation studies, spanning nine biomes and nearly two decades of warming experiments. Data for this study were obtained from a combination of unpublished data and published literature values. We find that although warming increases soil respiration rates, there is limited evidence for a shifting respiration response with experimental warming. We also note a universal decline in the temperature sensitivity of respiration at soil temperatures &gt;25°C.
This dataset includes 3817 observations, from control (n=1812), first (i.e., lowest or sole) level warming (n=1812), second (higher) level warming (n=179, four studies), and third-level warming (n=14, one study). Experiment locations ranged from 33.5 to 68.4 degrees N latitude and the duration of warming at experiments ranged from &lt;1 to 22 years (average 5.1 years).  Depths of soil temperature (1-10 cm) and moisture measurements (5-30) ranged across studies, but were always consistent between warmed and control plots within a particular study. Each site was classified into a particular biome (grassland, northern shrubland (i.e., peatlands and heathlands), southern shrubland (i.e., Mediterranean or sub-tropical shrublands)), tundra, desert, meadow, temperate agriculture, temperate forest and boreal forest) by the associated principal investigator (PI).

Low-altitude aerial imagery collected from a Helikite at the Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge DUNEX Site, North Carolina in September and October 2021

The data in this part of the release are images of the beach for use in structure from motion that were taken with a camera attached to a helium filled balloon-kite (Helikite). During September and October 2021, USGS and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (WHOI) scientists conducted multiple field surveys to collect an elevation time series at the USGS DUring Nearshore Event eXperiment (DUNEX) site on Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge, NC. Agisoft Metashape (v. 1.8.1) was used to create orthomosaics and digital surface models with the collected imagery. DUNEX is a multi-agency, academic, and non-governmental organization collaborative community experiment designed to study nearshore coastal processes during storm events. USGS participation in DUNEX will contribute new measurements and models that will increase our understanding of storm impacts to coastal environments, including hazards to humans and infrastructure and changes in landscape and natural habitats.

Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) 2018 Site 0296 land-water classification data

Wetland restoration efforts conducted by the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) in Louisiana rely on monitoring efforts to determine the efficacy of these efforts. 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 398 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. A DOQQ is a raster image in which displacement in the image caused by sensor orientation and terrain relief has been removed and combines the image characteristics of a photo with geometric qualities of a map. The DOQQs generated for this project consist of 2018 Color Infrared (CIR) Digital Imagery. These images were classified into land and water categories using a threshold of the near infrared (NIR) band, followed by supervised and unsupervised classification.  Initial classification results are then reviewed by multiple image analysts to identify and manually recode errors. The final land-water classifications are intended to serve as both geographic and quantitative assessments of landscape composition on the date of acquisition. Four previous assessments have been conducted (2005, 2008, 2012, and 2015/2016). Once the program creates enough data points for statistical analyses, these data will be used for land area change rate calculation.

MODFLOW 2005 data sets for the  simulation of potential increased inundation in flood-prone regions of Southeast Florida in response to climate and sea-level changes in Broward County, Florida, 2060-69

Two transient surface-water/groundwater models were developed to study the potential for increased 
inundation and flooding in eastern Broward County due to changes in future climate and sea-level rise. 
These models were constructed by using a modified version of MODFLOW 2005, with the surface-water 
system represented by using the surface-water routing process (SWR1) and a new Urban Runoff (URO)
process. The models were used to simulate an historical period (1990-99) using measured input data 
and a base-case (1990–99) and a future period (2060–69) using regional climate model rainfall and 
potential evapotranspiration output.  Model construction relied heavily on a previously created variable 
density model of the same study area. This USGS data release contains all of the input and output files 
as well as the executables required to reproduce the simulations described in the associated model 
documentation report. (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20185125)

Fire biomarkers (levoglucosan, mannosan, and galactosan) recorded in the deep Denali, AK ice core from ~360 to 2013 CE

Monosaccharide anhydrides (MAs), or anhydrosugars which include levoglucosan, mannosan, and galactosan are combustion products of cellulose and hemicellulose that are used as biomass burning tracers. These fire biomarkers are incorporated into smoke plumes, transported through the atmosphere, and return to the surface through wet and dry deposition that can be archived in ice cores. Here, we quantify levoglucosan, mannosan, and galactosan through the Denali ice core to investigate past North Pacific fire activity.

Water Availability Tool for Environmental Resources for the Commonwealth of Kentucky updated for 2019

In 2009, the Kentucky Water Science Center completed the Water Availability Tool for Environmental Resources (WATER-KY), which provided the ability to simulate streamflow for the period 1980-2000. This model integrated TOPMODEL (Beven and Kirkby, 1979) for pervious portions of the landscape with simulation of flow generated from impervious surfaces (USDA, 1986). Associated products included a flow-duration curve, load-duration curves when water-quality data were available, and general water balance.  WATER-KY required a dedicated ArcGIS license with the Spatial Analyst extension, which made it difficult to use for some cooperators and limited integration with other hydrologic approaches. This new version translates the abilities of WATER to a format that can be used without proprietary software or local updating of software. Additional functionality has also been added to include hydrologic response units (HRUs) that are defined based on three fundamental land-use categories: forest, agricultural land, and developed areas, based on subsequent development of WATER for the Delaware Basin (Williamson and others, 2015).
