Fire Management Plan and Post-Fire Monitoring - Coyote Ridge Open Space Preserve, Santa Clara - 2020-2021

Nomad Ecology conducted post-fire vegetation and covered species monitoring in 2020 and 2021 following the 2019 Malech Fire, which burned 210 acres within Coyote Ridge Open Space Preserve. Monitoring included aerial image capture via drone flights, post-fire monitoring for serpentine bunchgrass grassland, monitoring of six covered species, and post-fire invasive plant mapping. Richard Harris (from Richard R. Harris Consulting) prepared the Wildfire Management Plan dated June 2021. Nomad Ecology prepared the Post-Fire Vegetation and Covered Species Monitoring of the 2019 Malech Fire Within Coyote Ridge Open Space Preserve dated February 2022.

Bay-Delta SCHISM Atmospheric Collection v2.0

This dataset collects together collated and interpolated data required to run schism and are formatted for use in the model. SCHISM requires atmopheric data files in netcdf format as described here: http://ccrm.vims.edu/w/index.php/Atmospheric_forcing. These include ordered files with _air (wind, spec. humidity, pressure etc) _rad (long and short wave radiatin) and _prec (precipitation) in the name. These are often implemented using symbolic links to the files here. The data used for Bay-Delta SCHISM vary by period. For simulations centered before 2020, we use the _air data constructed by DWR based on spatial interpolation from approximately 71 public and private stations around the Bay-Delta. The _prec and _rad data are obtained from North America Regional Reanalysis data: https://psl.noaa.gov/data/gridded/data.narr.html. For simulations centered after 2020, we use the High Resolution Rapid Refresh (https://rapidrefresh.noaa.gov/hrrr/) data for all three variables. Around 2020 both options are viable and we choose whichever provides continuity across the period of study.

Soil units qualifying for Prime Farmland and Farmland of Statewide Importance are determined by the NRCS. Changes to soil profiles subsequent to publication of NRCS soil surveys are not reflected in this data.

Bay-Delta SCHISM Coastal Data for Ocean Boundary

The Bay-Delta SCHISM model connects to coastal models on its ocean boundary for salinity and temperature, using Newtonian relaxation or "nudging". The files in this dataset are cached and subsetted copies of the netcdf output from the CenCOOS/ROMS (https://www.cencoos.org/) and HYCOM (hycom.org) ocean models that are needed to populate those nudging inputs. The CenCOOS forecasting program ended in 2022, and the Delta Modeling Section transitions to HYCOM after 2020. To bridge (actually overlap) the gap, HYCOM (hycom.org) data are given starting in December 2018. The datasets are broken into multi-year blocks, but the files are still quite large (up to 7Gb). There is overlap between the files marked SF Bay, CenCoos and the HYCOM. 

The files have undergone some processing and reformatting and CenCOOS data were bias corrected based on their inluence on coastal and San Francisco Bay temperature.  HYCOM is not bias corrected. Note that (infrequently) some dates are missing in the original products and we have filled in the data usually by forward copying the prior available day. These files are not used directly by SCHISM, but rather are a prerequisite data source for preparing nudging inputs. Please see (https://cadwrdeltamodeling.github.io/BayDeltaSCHISM/topics/nudging.html) for more on the topic

The data are updated only occasionally. In the Delta Modeling Section program, the download_hycom utility (command line derived from download_hycom.py) is available in the https://github.com/CADWRDeltaModeling/dms_datastore package. The authors based this on a similar utility in the pyschism package. https://github.com/schism-dev/pyschism.

The resources on this page all extract into a common parent directory called "coastal"

<div style='text-align:Left;'><div><div><p style='margin:0 0 14 0;'><span><span>Vector datasets of CWHR range maps are one component of California Wildlife Habitat Relationships (CWHR), a comprehensive information system and predictive model for California's wildlife. The CWHR System was developed to support habitat conservation and management, land use planning, impact assessment, education, and research involving terrestrial vertebrates in California. CWHR contains information on life history, management status, geographic distribution, and habitat relationships for wildlife species known to occur regularly in California. Range maps represent the maximum, current geographic extent of each species within California. They were originally delineated at a scale of 1:5,000,000 by species-level experts and have gradually been revised at a scale of 1:1,000,000. For more information about CWHR, visit the CWHR webpage (</span><a href='https://www.wildlife.ca.gov/Data/CWHR' style='text-decoration:underline;' rel='nofollow ugc'><span>https://www.wildlife.ca.gov/Data/CWHR</span></a><span>). The webpage provides links to download CWHR data and user documents such as a look up table of available range maps including species code, species name, and range map revision history; a full set of CWHR GIS data; .pdf files of each range map or species life history accounts; and a User Guide.</span></span></p></div></div></div>
