Evapotranspiration Input Data for the Central Valley Hydrologic Model (CVHM)


This digital dataset contains monthly reference evapotranspiration (ETo) data for the Central Valley Hydrologic 
Model (CVHM).  The Central Valley encompasses an approximate 50,000 square-kilometer region of California. 
The complex hydrologic system of the Central Valley is simulated using the USGS numerical modeling code 
MODFLOW-FMP (Schmid and others, 2006b).  This simulation is referred to here as the CVHM (Faunt, 2009). 
Utilizing MODFLOW-FMP, the CVHM simulates groundwater and surface-water flow, irrigated agriculture, land 
subsidence, and other key processes in the Central Valley on a monthly basis from 1961-2003.  The total active 
modeled area is 20,334 square-miles on a finite-difference grid comprising 441 rows and 98 columns. Slightly 
less that 50 percent of the cells are active. The CVHM grid has a uniform horizontal discretization of 1x1 square 
mile and is oriented parallel to the valley axis, 34 degrees west of north (Faunt, 2009). The main climatic contributors 
to the CVHM are ETo and precipitation.  Data from Parameter-Elevation Regressions on Independent Slopes Model 
(PRISM) (Climate Source, 2006) provide the temperature and precipitation on a monthly basis for a 2-kilometer grid. 
Mapping land-use type and distribution is integral to calculating the crop irrigation demand and, ultimately, the water 
use in the Central Valley. For a given land use, the demand can be calculated from two variables: crop coefficient 
(Kc) and reference evapotranspiration (ETo).  For the CVHM, ETo is calculated from the daily minimum and maximum 
air temperatures derived from PRISM data and the extraterrestrial solar radiation (Faunt, 2009, p. 151). The CVHM is 
the most recent regional-scale model of the Central Valley developed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).  The 
CVHM was developed as part of the USGS Groundwater Resources Program (see "Foreword", Chapter A, page iii, 
for details).

A Digital Hydrologic Network Supporting NAWQA MRB SPARROW Modeling--MRB_E2RF1


A digital hydrologic network was developed to support SPAtially Referenced Regression on Watershed attributes (SPARROW) 
models within selected regions of the United States. These regions correspond with the U.S. Geological Survey's National Water 
Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Program Major River Basin (MRB) study units 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7 (Preston and others, 2009).  
MRB2, covers the South Atlantic-Gulf and Tennessee River basins.  MRB3, covers the Great Lakes, Ohio, Upper Mississippi, 
and Souris-Red-Rainy River basins.  MRB4, covers the Missouri River basins.  MRB5, covers the Lower Mississippi, 
Arkansas-White-Red, and Texas-Gulf River basins.  MRB7, covers the Pacific Northwest River basins. 
		
The digital hydrologic network described here represents surface-water pathways (MRB_E2RF1) and associated catchments 
(MRB_E2RF1WS). It serves as the fundamental framework to spatially reference and summarize explanatory information 
supporting nutrient SPARROW models (Brakebill and others, 2011; Wieczorek and LaMotte, 2011). The principal geospatial 
dataset used to support this regional effort was based on an enhanced version of a 1:500,000 scale digital stream-reach 
network (ERF1_2) (Nolan et al., 2002). Enhancements included associating over 3,500 water-quality monitoring sites to the 
reach network, improving physical locations of stream reaches at or near monitoring locations, and generating drainage 
catchments based on 100m elevation data.
		
A unique number (MRB_ID) identifies each reach as a single unit. This unique number is also shared by the catchment area 
drained by the reach, thus spatially linking the hydrologically connected streams and the respective drainage area characteristics. 
In addition, other relevant physical, environmental, and monitoring information can be associated to the common network and 
accessed using the unique identification number.

Marine Protected Area Monitoring Action Plan 2018

California’s MPAs are adaptively managed as a network through the MPA Management Program which consists of four focal areas: 1) outreach and education, 2) enforcement and compliance, 3) research and monitoring, and 4) policy and permitting. Within the research and monitoring focal area, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) and California Ocean Protection Council (OPC) collaboratively direct California’s MPA Monitoring Program which includes a two-phased, ecosystem-based approach. Regional baseline monitoring (Phase 1, 2007 – 2018) characterized ecological and socioeconomic conditions near the time of regional MPA implementation and improved our understanding of a variety of representative marine habitats and the associated biodiversity. CDFW and OPC are now designing and implementing statewide long-term monitoring (Phase 2, 2016 – present) to reflect current priorities and management needs.

The MPA Monitoring Action Plan (Action Plan) informs next steps for long-term MPA monitoring in California by aggregating and synthesizing work to date, as well as by incorporating novel, quantitative, and expert-informed approaches. The Action 
Plan prioritizes key measures, metrics, habitats, sites, species, human uses, and management questions  to target for long-term monitoring to inform the evaluation of California’s MPA Network. For example, the Action Plan includes select species-level, 
community-level, physical, chemical, and human use measures and metrics identified to advance understanding of conditions and trends across the MPA Network.

Vegetation - Great Valley Ecoregion [ds2632]

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P STYLE="margin:0 0 11 0;"><SPAN>Geodatabase feature class containing a map of vegetation within the Great Valley Ecoregion produced by the Geographical Information Center (GIC) at CSU Chico. The dataset combines both new mapping and the previously completed Central Valley Riparian and Sacramento Valley and the Southern San Joaquin Valley vegetation maps. Vegetation polygons were manually digitized as interpreted using the National Agricultural Inventory Program's (NAIP) 2009 (Central Valley Riparian and Sacramento Valley map), 2012 (Southern San Joaquin Valley map) and 2014 (balance of San Joaquin Valley) aerial imagery at a scale of 1:2000. The minimum mapping unit (mmu) for natural vegetation is 1.0 acre, with a minimum average width of 10 meters. The mmu for agricultural and urban polygons is 10 acres. Vegetation is attributed to the Group and Alliance level of the state and national vegetation hierarchy. In some cases, polygons were attributed only to Group or Macrogroup level when the Alliance could not be determined from photointerpretation. The map classification is based on the key to vegetation types in Buck-Diaz et al. 2012. The Central Valley and Sacramento Valley maps were assessed for Accuracy with an average users’ accuracy of 90.2 percent and users’ accuracy of 89 percent. The San Joaquin Valley portion of the map was field verified by the mappers but was not otherwise assessed for accuracy (see Supplemental Information below for details). </SPAN><SPAN><SPAN>More information can be found in the project report, which is bundled with the vegetation map published for BIOS here: </SPAN></SPAN><A href="https://filelib.wildlife.ca.gov/Public/BDB/GIS/BIOS/Public_Datasets/2600_2699/ds2632.zip" STYLE="text-decoration:underline;"><SPAN STYLE="text-decoration:underline;"><SPAN>https://filelib.wildlife.ca.gov/Public/BDB/GIS/BIOS/Public_Datasets/2600_2699/ds2632.zip</SPAN></SPAN></A><SPAN>.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>

Methodological comparison of multiple MPA rocky ecosystem monitoring techniques

California recently completed the implementation of a large network of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) across the state via legislation called the Marine Life Protection Act (MLPA). Following implementation of MPAs in each region, the state instigated and funded Phase 1 of a Statewide MPA Monitoring Program which allowed for 2-3 years of baseline ecological monitoring in each region around the time of MPA implementation. Baseline monitoring was intended to provide a benchmark against which future change in MPAs could be evaluated. Importantly, baseline monitoring for many habitats built on existing programs, several of which already had long time-series of monitoring data in and around the MPAs. Building on Phase 1, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) and California Ocean Protection Council (OPC) are developing priorities and strategies for Phase 2, statewide long-term monitoring. This study seeks to inform aspects of this long-term monitoring plan by evaluating existing time series and techniques currently being deployed in rocky nearshore ecosystems throughout California. Specifically, we present two studies meant to inform long-term monitoring of MPAs in California: 1) A comparison of two long-term monitoring programs utilizing SCUBA surveys on nearshore rocky reefs and kelp forests, one composed of professional, academic scientists (PISCO - Partnership for Interdisciplinary Studies of Coastal Oceans) and the other a citizen-science program utilizing a combination of paid staff and volunteers (RCCA - ReefCheck California). 2) An evaluation of data from multiple monitoring techniques across a large depth gradient to provide information on the latitudinal and depth profile of species likely to be protected by MPAs
