Data

Rainfall data from 23 weather stations in Florida, sourced from the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD), Northwest Florida Water Management District (NWFWMD), Global Historical Climatology Network-Hourly (GHCNh), and Remote Automatic Weather Stations (RAWS), were used to examine temporal trends over the period 1990–2022 of events with durations of 1, 2, 3, 6, 12, and 24 hours...

This data release contains data for the hydrologic and water-quality characterization of Levittown Lake, from April 2010 to June 2021. Three child items were included in the data release to summarize the results of the (1) community productivity through the light and dark bottle method (2) two diel data collection efforts, and (3) spatial data associated with the bathymetric survey...

The Restoration, Coordination, and Verification (RECOVER) program is a collaboration among federal and state agencies, Tribes, and other institutions that conduct and guide scientific research for Everglades restoration in southern Florida. RECOVER members evaluate restoration plans and designs and assess real-world environmental conditions. One of the tools used by the RECOVER program...

Overview This metadata record serves as documentation for the bias adjusted (BA) version of the CONUS404 pseudo-global warming (PGW) atmospheric forcing dataset at 1-kilometer grid spacing (for the original PGW dataset, see Xue and others, 2024). This dataset covers a future-perturbed 45-year period (water years 1980-2024, October 1, 1979-September 30, 2024) and has sufficient temporal...

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) are collaborating with the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) on improving flood-frequency analysis methods to account for mixed populations arising from different flood causal mechanisms. Precipitation data at different timescales are widely used in flood-typing studies. Various gridded...

Potential evapotranspiration (PET) and reference evapotranspiration (ETo) are estimated at an approximately 1-kilometer spatial grid and daily time-step from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024 for Florida, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, and parts of Mississippi, North Carolina, and Tennessee. PET and ETo were computed from solar radiation, meteorological data (min/max temperature...

Potential evapotranspiration (PET) and reference evapotranspiration (ETo) are estimated at an approximately 2-kilometer (approximately 0.019 degrees longitude and 0.018 degrees latitude) spatial grid and daily time-step from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024 for the entire State of Florida. PET and ETo were computed from solar radiation, meteorological data (min/max temperature, min...

High-resolution bathymetric maps were compiled in support of hydrogeologic research conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey Caribbean-Florida Water Science Center in a region offshore of southeastern Florida (Cunningham and others, 2024). Sub-circular to circular seafloor depressions were identified and mapped during 2016-2024 using established and new multibeam-bathymetry of the Miami...

In the South Miami Heights area of Miam-Dade County, vertical French drains (VFDs) are drainage structures that collect and promote infiltration of runoff from streets, sidewalks and saturated surfaces. The VFDs consist of a shallow rectangular cement inlet connected to an approximately 9-inch diameter and 7-feet-deep hole. The vertical holes are not filled, they are cut directly into...

This data release consists of two datasets, each accessible in its own child page, collected at the North Chevalier Field Disposal Area (Site 11) at Naval Air Station Pensacola in Florida. Site 11 is adjacent to Bayou Grande, which empties into Pensacola Bay. The first dataset consists of fiber-optic distributed temperature sensing data collected from March 13-March 16, 2018. The second...

The South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) have evaluated projections of future (2056-95) droughts for south Florida based on climate model output from the Multivariate Adaptive Constructed Analogs (MACA) downscaled climate dataset from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5). The emission scenarios evaluated include...

Potential evapotranspiration (PET), and reference evapotranspiration (ETo) are estimated at an approximately 1-kilometer spatial grid and a daily time-scale from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023 for Florida, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, and parts of Mississippi, North Carolina, and Tennessee. PET and ETo were computed, using the Priestley-Taylor equation and the FAO Penman...
