Airborne thermal infrared remote sensing of summer water temperature in the Middle Fork John Day River (Oregon) in 1994-2003

This data release combines seven airborne thermal infrared (TIR) remote sensing data sets of stream temperature collected along the mainstem of the Middle Fork John Day River (MFJD) in Oregon from 1994 to 2003. Years 1994, 1995, 1996, 1998, and 2002 have single datasets. Year 2003 has two data sets. Most of the TIR data covered the upstream half of the MFJD mainstem between river km 50 and 110, while the 2002 profile covers the lower half starting at the confluence of the MFJD with the North Fork John Day River through river kilometer 64. All TIR data sets were collected by helicopter in an upstream direction in August with the intent of capturing data at or near the maximum summer daily stream temperature. Ground-truthing and calibration of the TIR remote sensing surveys were conducted with continuous in-stream temperature loggers deployed longitudinally throughout the survey area. TIR imagery of the main stem and tributary junctions was processed, sampled, and summarized in “temperature profiles” that extend longitudinally along the mainstem MFJD for each data set and are composed of individual temperature observations along that longitudinal transect.

CSIRO Monthly Future Prescribed Burn Windows for the Southeast United States 2010-2099 RCP 8.5

Prescribed burning is a critical tool for managing wildfire risks and meeting ecological objectives, but its safe and effective application requires that specific meteorological criteria are met. This dataset contains results from a study examining the potential impacts of projected climatic change on prescribed burning in the southeastern United States. A set of burn window criteria (suitable weather conditions within which burning may occur based on maximum daily temperature, daily average relative humidity, and daily average wind speed), were applied to projections from an ensemble of Global Climate Models (GCM) under two greenhouse gas emission scenarios, as well as past observations for comparison. Data are provided as decadal output for observed conditions, and for individual GCM results for the historical climate scenario and the two future climate scenarios are provided. In addition, summary statistics (e.g., multi-model mean, and for selected quantiles) are provided for the GCM ensemble as a whole by decade.

Synthetic storm-driven flood-inundation grids for coastal communities along the Delaware Bay and adjacent to the Greenwich tide gage from Lawrence Township to Stow Creek Township, NJ

Digital flood-inundation maps for coastal communities within Cumberland County in New Jersey were created by water surfaces generated by an Advanced Circulation hydrodynamic (ADCIRC) and Simulating Waves Nearshore (SWAN) model from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Region II coastal analysis and mapping study (Federal Emergency Management Agency, 2014). Six synthetic modeled tropical storm events from a library of 159 events were selected based on parameters including landfall location or closest approach location, maximum wind speed, central pressure, and radii of winds. Two storm events were selected for the tide gage providing two "scenarios" and accompanying inundation-map libraries.

Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) 2005, 2008, 2012, 2016 and 2018 Site 4900 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.

Wetland perimeters for monitored wetlands at Saint Marks National Wildlife Refuge: July 2010 - May 2019 (version. 2.0, August 2022)

This dataset contains boundary polygons from 59 wetlands, that were monitored as part of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Amphibian Research and Monitoring Initiative (ARMI) from Saint Marks National Wildlife Refuge (SMNWR). These sites covered a range of sizes, shapes, topographic and vegetative characteristics that were deemed to be representative of wetlands within the study area. Ground-based surveys of wetland perimeters were made using a Trimble R8 Real Time Kinematic Global Positioning System (RTK-GPS). Surveys generally followed the lowest extent of saw palmetto (Serenoa repens), which is a reliable indicator of the upper limits (elevation) of sustained inundation. In instances where palmetto was absent, margins were identified based on the lower limits of gallberry (Ilex sp.) and/or the upper extent of titi (Cyrilla/Cliftonia). These species occupied similar hydrologic and elevation zones as saw palmetto and, therefore, considered to also be reliable indicators of a wetland’s edge. GPS points were collected along this vegetative margin to represent the size and general shape of each wetland. In cases where dense vegetation prevented surveying the complete margin, we used elevation contours to connect distant points when digitizing perimeters. For a subset of wetlands that were not surveyed in the field on screen digitizing was used to construct the boundaries. When using this latter approach multiple layers were used to help identify the boundary including the national wetlands inventory, aerial imagery, and a lidar derived digital elevation model.

Water Quality and Streamflow Data for the Clark Fork near Grant-Kohrs Ranch National Historic Site in Southwestern Montana, Water Years 2019 - 2020

In 2019, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the National Park Service(NPS), initiated a study using surrogate technology to predict real-time metallic-contaminant concentrations (MCCs) in the Clark Fork at two USGS streamgages that bracket Grant-Kohrs Ranch National Historic Site (GRKO) near Deer Lodge, Montana. Clark Fork at Deer Lodge (streamgage 12324200), Mont., about one mile upstream from GRKO, and Clark Fork above Little Blackfoot River near Garrison (streamgage 12324400), Mont., about 12 miles
downstream from GRKO property were instrumented with turbidity and acoustic sensors for monitoring the Clark Fork during NPS Superfund remediation activities. Time-series data from backscatter signals from fixed-point turbidity and acoustic sensors were correlated with discrete MCC samples collected from the Clark Fork and were used as surrogates for estimating real-time cadmium, copper, iron, lead, manganese, zinc, and the metalloid trace element arsenic. A stepwise regression approach was used to develop statistical models to predict MCCs based on instantaneous values of turbidity and acoustic backscatter. Simple linear regression (SLR) models using turbidity as the sole explanatory variable produced the best models with R-squared values exceeding 0.90 in 9 of 12 models. Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency values were used to evaluate the effectiveness of predictive models to approximate measured MCCs, and model biases were calculated as an additional check on model accuracy. The R-LOADEST statistical package was used to compute annual and daily metallic-contaminant loads (MCLs) along with 95-percent prediction intervals. R-LOADEST loads were compared to time-series computed loads to evaluate the applicability of time-series data for calculating daily and annual MCLs. Results from annual load estimates indicated an increase in loads for all metallic contaminants between the two monitoring sites. These results provided real-time information to NPS management for evaluating variation in water quality during Superfund remediation, comparing MCC values relative to aquatic life standards, and will help quantify benefits from NPS remediation activities.

Data Release for Hydrocarbons in Upland Groundwater, Marcellus Shale Region, Northeastern Pennsylvania and Southern New York, USA

Water samples from 50 domestic wells located &lt;1 kilometer (km) (proximal) and &gt;1 km (distal) from shale-gas wells in upland areas of the Marcellus Shale region were analyzed for chemical, isotopic and groundwater-age tracers. Uplands were targeted because natural mixing with brine and hydrocarbons from deep formations is less common in those areas compared to valleys. Methane (CH4) -isotope and pre-drill CH4 data indicate one proximal sample (5 percent of proximal samples) contains thermogenic CH4 (2.6 milligrams per liter (mg/L)) associated with shale-gas production. Chloride (Cl), bromide (Br), lithium (Li), and neon-20 (20Ne)/argon-36 (36Ar) data suggest that CH4 leaked from a nearby gas well in a gas phase. Another proximal sample contains volatile hydrocarbons (0.03-0.4 micrograms per liter (µg/L)), including benzene, found in some hydraulic fracturing fluid. Modeled groundwater-age distributions, calibrated to tritium (3H), sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), and carbon-14 (14C) concentrations, indicate that water recharged prior to shale-gas development, suggesting surface releases associated with shale-gas production were not the source of those hydrocarbons, although leakage from a nearby gas well directly into the old groundwater cannot be ruled out. Estimated age distributions in the samples span ~20 to &gt;10,000 years and have implications for relating occurrences of hydrocarbons in groundwater to surface releases associated with recent shale-gas production, and to the time required to flush contaminants from the system.  This data release contains isotopic tracer, noble gas, and groundwater-age tracer concentration data collected by the U.S. Geological Survey and data for pH, specific conductance, major ions, and methane collected by Chesapeake Energy Corporation.

Bank Erosion Pin Monitoring Data in Caulks Creek, Wildwood, Missouri, 2022–2023

Bank erosion pins (2-foot lengths of 0.38-inch steel rebar) were placed at 12 locations throughout the Caulks Creek study area in Wildwood, Missouri. Most of the bank erosion pins were located outside of the six study reaches, though one was located within study reach 4 and two were located within study reach 5. The bank erosion pin locations were largely determined by site access and the feasibility of inserting the pin into the bank face and are not intended to be a statistically representative sampling of the channel. The tip of the pin represents a datum from which a change in the bank position can be measured. The distance from the tip of the pin to the bank face was measured on the top, bottom, upstream side, and downstream side of the pin, and these measurements were averaged to obtain a final measurement value. The bank pins were measured six times between February 2022 and July 2023 including during installation and removal. The data are provided in comma-separated value (csv) format.
