Peak-flow frequency analyses for selected streamgages in and near Lincoln County, Montana

This data release contains peak-flow frequency analyses for selected streamgages in Lincoln County, Montana, along with information documenting the input data and specifications for the analyses. The analyses were performed using the methods described by Siefken and others (2025).

Elemental concentrations in biofilm and bed sediment collected from streams in the Clark Fork Basin, Montana, July 2023

This data release includes laboratory analyses for biofilm and bed-sediment samples collected from streams in the Clark Fork Basin, spanning from Butte to near Missoula, Montana. Samples were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as part of a long-term monitoring program. Biofilm samples were collected once at 19 sites...

Monthly SSEBop Landsat 30-meter actual evapotranspiration in the Milk River basin (U.S. and Canada) for the growing season (April - October) from 1985-2023

Monthly actual ET (ETa) data estimated for the growing season (April - October) at 30-meter resolution with the Operational Simplified Surface Energy Balance (SSEBop) model (version 2.6) using satellite imagery obtained from Landsat 4, 5, 7, 8, and 9, and reference evapotranspiration obtained from the North America Land Data Assimilation 2 (NLDAS2) product for the Milk River basin, from...

Peak-flow frequency analyses for selected streamgages in Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming

Data release contains peak-flow frequency analyses for selected streamgages in Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming, along with information documenting the input data and specifications for the analyses. The analyses were performed using the methods described by Siefken and others (2025).

Lake Koocanusa Water Quality Profiles for 2019 through 2024

This data release contains water quality data from discrete sonde profiles taken at 10 sites on Lake Koocanusa from 2019 through 2024. The profiles include measurements of water temperature, specific conductance, dissolved oxygen, pH, turbidity, and chlorophyll relative fluorescence as well as the depth of the sonde below the water surface. These data were collected as part of a water...

Gage Height, Turbidity, and Acoustic Backscatter Data Collected During Experimental Sediment Release from Willwood Dam on the Shoshone River in Park County, Wyoming, April 11-13, 2023

The Willwood Working Group Two of Wyoming conducted an experimental sediment release from Willwood Dam from April 11-13, 2023. The experiment involved opening sluice gates at the base of Willwood Dam to draw down the dam pool which created energy to mobilize sediment deposits behind the dam. The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation released up to 4,000 cubic feet per second from Buffalo Bill Dam...

Geochemical Data for Produced Water and Gas from the Antrim Shale in Michigan, 2023

In 2023, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with Riverside Energy Michigan, LLC, conducted an injection experiment to monitor the natural rate of biogenic methane generation in the Mortensen A4-24 well which was completed in the Antrim Shale and located in Antrim County, Michigan, United States of America. Approximately 20 barrels (bbl) of produced water was pumped from the well...

Surface Water Index of Permanence (SWIPe) for the upper Missouri River basin, 1989-2021

With the Surface-Water Index of Permanence (SWIPe) we provide a standardized metric for describing one- to five-year anomalies of the annual minimum surface-water extent of streams and wetlands for multiple spatial scales including basin (4-digit hydrologic unit codes [HUCs]) to subwatersheds (12-digit HUCs). Drier conditions are represented by negative SWIPE values that range from 0 to...

Streamflow Statistics Based on Data through Water Year 2021 for Selected Streamgages in and near Wyoming

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Wyoming Water Development Office, developed streamflow statistics for active (through September 30, 2021) and discontinued USGS streamgages in and near Wyoming with 10 or more years of daily mean streamflow record. Streamflow at each streamgage was assessed for degree of human alteration owing to dams and diversions before...

Simulated snowpack and meteorology at multiple resolutions for three headwater study areas in Colorado, USA, water years 1980-2019

This data release includes SnowModel output for three headwater study areas in Colorado at seven spatial resolutions and from two forcing datasets over a 40-year period from water year 1980 to 2019. The resolutions include 30 m, 50 m, 100 m, 150 m, 250 m, 500 m, and 1,000 m. The model was run with a 3-hour temporal resolution from September 1, 1980 to August 31, 2019. Two meteorology...

Peak-flow frequency analyses for selected streamgages in Carter, Custer, Fallon, Powder River, and Prairie Counties, Montana, based on data through water year 2022

The USGS Wyoming-Montana Water Science Center (WY–MT WSC) completed a report (Sando and McCarthy, 2018) documenting methods for peak-flow frequency analysis following implementation of the Bulletin 17C guidelines (England and others, 2019). The methods are used to provide estimates of peak-flow quantiles for 66.7-, 50-, 42.9-, 20-, 10-, 4-, 2-, 1-, 0.5-, and 0.2-percent annual exceedance...

Historical (2001-2013) and End-of-Century Future Climate Simulated Snowpack and Hydrometeorology for the Gallatin River, Montana and Wyoming

This data release contains output from a numerical snow simulation for a 65 kilometer (km) × 81 km model domain in parts of Montana and Wyoming, United States, encompassing the Gallatin River watershed upstream of the U.S. Geological Survey streamgage near Gallatin Gateway, MT (06043500). Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model convection-permitting and orography-resolving regional...
