Evapotranspiration in the Upper Klamath Basin for August 2013

The evapotranspiration (ET) datasets were created under contract for this study by the University of Idaho. A high-resolution remote sensing technique known as Mapping Evapotranspiration at High Resolution and Internalized Calibration (METRIC) was used to create estimates of the spatial distribution of ET. The METRIC technique uses thermal infrared Landsat imagery to quantify actual evapotranspiration at a 30-meter resolution that can be related to individual irrigated fields. Because evaporation uses heat energy, ground surfaces with large ET rates are left cooler as a result of ET than ground surfaces that have less ET. As a consequence, irrigated fields appear in the Landsat images as cooler than nonirrigated fields. Products produced from this study include total seasonal and total monthly (April-October) actual evapotranspiration maps for 2013.

Estimates of pathogen exposure predict varying transmission likelihood: Host contact and shedding patterns may clarify disease dynamics in desert tortoises Gopherus agassizii

These datasets (S2-S3) document the transmission of a bacterial pathogen (Mycoplasma agassizii) between desert tortoises (Gopherus agassizii) experimentally introduced in captivity and were used to create and compare models predicting transmission probability given data on the hosts and their interactions. Dataset S2 includes variables describing the individual tortoises interacting, e.g. id, sex; variables describing the length of their interaction, e.g., number of days cohabitating, hours of direct contact; and variables estimating the infection level (based on data in S3) of infected tortoises involved in the interaction with the focal host.  Interaction time and the amount of bacteria present in an infected host were used to calculate “dose” variables that represent the intensity of exposure to the pathogen. These data were used to estimate model parameters for multiple generalized linear models (glm) with predictor variables related to exposure time to an infected host and host characteristics. The response variable or event of interest was the infection status of the exposed tortoise after a period of interaction. Infection status was defined in two ways (described in section 15) and determined using qPCR of tissue samples collected at intervals – the results of which are presented in the S3 dataset. The analyses allowed us to identify interactions that have high transmission likelihood, and so we explored the contact patterns of a wild tortoise population (25 individuals with overlapping or contiguous homeranges) to estimate how frequently high-risk contacts occur (Dataset S4). This dataset includes all interactions (tortoise ids of interacting pair, date &amp; time interaction began, and interaction duration) documented between tortoises fitted with proximity logging devices. Each device detects other devices when tortoises are approximately 10 cm apart and ends an interaction when tortoises have remained further than 10 cm for 1 minute.

(2016), Host contact and shedding patterns clarify variation in pathogen exposure and transmission in threatened tortoise Gopherus agassizii: implications for disease modelling and management.

Synoptic carbon gas fluxes from streams, rivers, and lakes in the conterminous US, USGS Landcarbon, 2012 to 2014

In support of the USGS LandCarbon project, field observations of stream and lake carbon gas fluxes and other water-quality data were collected from surface waters in the conterminous US.  The sampling was designed to cover a variety of geographic, climatic, and environmental settings to better understand the ranges and distributions of carbon gas fluxes from surface waters.  Field observations of carbon gas concentration and flux were paired with laboratory measurements of stream chemical characteristics.Locations were derived from field GPS values or from listed coordinates of USGS streamgages located at the sampling site.  Discharge data was either measured in the field at the time of sample collection or downloaded from streamgage data (waterdata.usgs.gov/nwis).  Laboratory values were analyzed in the USGS office located in Boulder, CO.The missing values occur in the database for several field observations. Missing values occurred when the site was not appropriate for that parameter (i.e. stream discharge in a lake or reservoir) or due to equipment malfunction.

Attributes for NHDPlus Version 2.1 Catchments and Modified Routing of Upstream Watersheds for the Conterminous United States: Base Flow Index

This tabular data set represents base flow index (BFI) compiled for two spatial components of the NHDPlus version 2 data suite (NHDPlusv2) for the conterminous United States; 1) individual reach catchments and 2) reach catchments accumulated upstream through the river network. This dataset can be linked to the NHDPlus version 2 data suite by the unique identifier COMID.  The source data is the "Base-flow index grid for the conterminous United States" produced by the United States Geological Survey (Wolock, 2003). Units are percent. Base flow is the component of streamflow that can be attributed to ground-water discharge into streams. The BFI is the ratio of base flow to total flow, expressed as a percentage. Reach catchment information characterizes data at the local scale. Reach catchments accumulated upstream through the river network characterizes cumulative upstream conditions.  Network-accumulated values are computed using two methods, 1) divergence-routed and 2) total cumulative drainage area. Both approaches use a modified routing database to navigate the NHDPlus reach network to aggregate (accumulate) the metrics derived from the reach catchment scale. (Schwarz and Wieczorek, 2018).

Sun-Illuminated Color GeoTIFF Image of the 150-meter bathymetry grid of the Puerto Rico Trench generated from data collected in 2002 and 2003 by the U.S. Geological Survey and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (combined_grd.tif, geographic, WGS84)

In 2002 and 2003, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center (WHCMSC), in cooperation with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), conducted three exploration cruises (USGS Cruise 02051, NOAA RB0208, September 24 to 30, 2002; USGS Cruise 03008, NOAA RB0303, February 18 to March 7, 2003 and USGS Cruise 03032, NOAA RB0305, August 28 to September 4, 2003). These cruises mapped for the first time the morphology of this entire tectonic plate boundary stretching from the Dominican Republic in the west to the Lesser Antilles in the east, a distance of approximately 700 kilometers (430 miles). Observations from these three exploration cruises, coupled with computer modeling and published Global Positioning System (GPS) results and earthquake focal mechanisms have provided new information that is changing the evaluation of the seismic and tsunami hazard from this plate boundary. The observations collected during these cruises also contributed to the basic understanding of the mechanisms that govern plate tectonics, in this case, the creation of the island of Puerto Rico and the deep trench north of it. Results of the sea floor mapping have been an important component of the study of tsunami and earthquake hazards to the northeastern Caribbean and the U.S. Atlantic coast off the United States.

Historical Stream Fish Distribution Database for the Conterminous United States (1950-1990): IchthyMaps

Fish occurrence data to support high-resolution distribution models and test various community and macroecological hypotheses have not been available at the national scale.  We present IchthyMaps, a database of high-quality historical fish occurrences covering fishes of the conterminous United States.  Designed on the principles of metacommunity ecology, IchthyMaps is a compilation of presence records from atlases up to 1990, at the resolution of the 1:100,000 National Hydrography Database Plus (NHDPlus) inter-confluence stream segment, readily aggregated into hierarchically coarser units (e.g. hydrologic unit code 8-digit and 12-digit watersheds).  IchthyMaps contains about 606,550 presence records for 1,038 species and subspecies.  These presence records occurred on 224,305 NHDPlus interconfluence stream segments, representing &gt; 10% average sampling intensity.  IchthyMaps is publicly accessible through USGS' ScienceBase infrastructure.  It offers unprecedented opportunities for both basic and applied research and conservation initiatives in areas such as studying biogeography, gap analysis, and assessments of impacts of land use, species invasions, and climate change.  More generally, this database broadens our capability to conduct research on fish ecology, biogeography, and management.

Base flow monitoring for stream temperature and intermittency at Baca National Wildlife Refuge.

The Baca National Wildlife Refuge is located in the San Luis Valley of South-central Colorado on the western flank of the Sangre de Cristo massif, northwest of the Great Sand Dunes National Park. Wildlife managers at the refuge are tasked with protecting two fish species of special concern, the Rio Grande Chub (Gila pandora) and the Rio Grande Sucker (Catostomus plebeius). The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) collected surface water data with Stream Temperature, Intermittency, and Conductivity (STIC) instruments deployed at the Baca NWR from 2016–2019. STIC instruments are unique for this type of investigation for the purpose of simultaneously collecting temperature data and an electrical resistance signal to determine the presence or absence of water. At each monitoring site, individual raw data records were first screened for the presence of liquid water. All other data points (i.e. drying events, freezing events, etc.) were trimmed from this data set. Second, all water temperature data was calculated from 30-minute resolution to the standardized biologically relevant daily (maximum 2-hour daily maximum) and weekly (maximum weekly average temperature) summary metrics. This summary data provides Baca wildlife managers with the current inventory of available fish habitat, the thermal suitability of the aquatic habitat for both survival and successful recruitment, and to identify possible thermal and or entrainment risks to these fish populations.

Marker residue depletion from the skin-on fillet tissue of rainbow trout exposed to AQUI S 20E: Data

Among the data required by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for approval of an aquaculture drug are the data that characterize the depletion of a drugs marker residue from the edible fillet tissue of fish after exposure.  Eugenol is the marker residue for AQUI-S 20E, a product proposed for use as a sedative for fish.Rainbow trout (Onchorynchus mykiss; a representative cold water fish species) was exposed to AQUI-S 20E in water at a temperature of 9 C, a temperature that is representative of the lower range of temperatures where rainbow trout would be sedated.  Eighty fish were exposed to a nominal AQUI-S 20E concentration of 100 mg/L for 60 min.  Groups of 16 fish were sampled immediately after 60 min of exposure (the 0 min sample group), then at 15, 30, 90, and 150 min after the fish were transferred to fresh, flowing water.  Skin-on fillets from each fish were analyzed for eugenol concentrations by using a FDA approved method for determining eugenol concentrations in fish fillet tissue.  The method involved extracting eugenol from the tissue with acetonitrile, recovering eugenol from the tissue extract by using solid phase extraction techniques, and determining eugenol concentrations in the final extract by using high pressure liquid chromatography with absorbance detection techniques.Results indicated that maximum eugenol concentrations in the fillet tissue were measured immediately after the exposure (mean, 47.5 g/g).  Eugenol concentrations decreased to 1.9 g/g by 150 min after the fish were transferred to fresh, flowing water.  The depletion of eugenol from the fillet tissue was rapid (t1/2 = 31.7 min).
