Data

These data were collected as part of the Stormwater Action Monitoring (SAM) program's Puget Small Streams (PSS) status and trends program. The data presented here were collected from 20 sites during water year 2022 for water temperature, air temperature, and sensor depth. Sensor depth was used as a surrogate for water depth and represents the arbitrary depth of water above the sensor...

This data release provides an archive of random forest regressions predicting streamflow correlation as a function of climatic similarity over the contiguous United States, based on streamflow information from water years 1981 to 2020. This data release also contains the underlying datasets used to generate those regressions and a series of scripts that facilitate their exploration and...

This dataset includes sediment temperature data collected from seven sites on the mainstem of the Quillayute River in the summer of 2024. Sediment temperatures were collected at up to four depths (1, 4, 7, and 11 centimeters) at each location using a temperature rod that was installed into the streambed. See "quillayute.sites.2024.csv" for field IDs, sediment thermal properties, and...

This dataset includes sediment temperature data collected from seven locations within the Big Soos creek basin from July 2023 to July 2024. Data collection took place at two locations on Covington Creek and Big Soos Creek, and single locations on Jenkins Creek, Little Soos Creek, and Soosette Creek. See "BigSoos.sites.csv" for field IDs, descriptions, and locations of these seven sites...

This data release contains information on four sediment cores that were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey in Conconully Reservoir, Okanogan County, Washington, in June 2022 and October 2023. Data include the location each sediment core was collected, descriptions of the sediment profile of two of the cores (i.e., texture, color, structure, and visible constituents), photographs of...

Backward particle tracking in groundwater was simulated with MODPATH and the MODFLOW groundwater flow model by Long and others (2024). Simulated particles were tracked backward from well intakes in areas within or near Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM) for the purpose of determining their likely points of origin within groundwater recharge areas. Steady-state and transient simulations were...

This data release contains vector shapefiles of gridded, monthly water use estimates for the United States part of the Salish Sea basin in northwestern Washington for the year 2017. The water use estimates are provided by category of use for public supply, domestic self-supply, agriculture, and aquaculture each and are further distinguished by surface water or groundwater sources. Data...

Concentrations of individual polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and chlorinated pesticides are reported for surface sediments collected along the nearshore of Bellingham Bay, the Nooksack River, and four urban creeks discharging to Bellingham Bay in March 2019. Additional samples were collected along the nearshore urban waterfront corridor...

The Puyallup River and it's major tributaries, including the Carbon and Mowich Rivers, are sediment-rich systems in western Washington State, USA, that flow from glaciated headwaters on Mount Rainier to Puget Sound over a short distance. In the populated Puget Lowlands, sediment deposition and associated loss of flood conveyance has been a chronic issue (Prych, 1988; Czuba and others...

In this data release, hydrogen-2 and oxygen-18 isotope ratios are presented for 158 unique sites in central and eastern Washington. There are 16 unique surface water sites with a total of 140 samples, and 142 groundwater sites with a total of 167 samples. Sample dates range from February 1993 to February 2021. Stable isotope analysis of water utilizes slight differences in the mass of...
