Soil Water Balance Model of the White River Basin, Mount Rainier National Park, Washington, USA, 1999-2020 Soil Water Balance Model of the White River Basin, Mount Rainier National Park, Washington, USA, 1999-2020
This archive documents a Soil Water Balance (SWB) model of the The White River Basin, Washington and immediate surrounding environs. The SWB model is used to estimate surface processes of a water budget including precipitation, interception, evapotranspiration, surface runoff, etc. for the upper White River area from January 1999 - December 2020.
Data for simulation experiments comparing nonstationary design-flood adjustments based on observed annual peak flows in the conterminous United States Data for simulation experiments comparing nonstationary design-flood adjustments based on observed annual peak flows in the conterminous United States
This dataset contains files used in this Monte Carlo simulation study comparing the performance of five statistical models for adjusting design floods for current conditions at sites with known trends. These files include (i) the observed annual peak-flow series in the conterminous US used to inform ranges of known moments and trends used in the simulation experiment, (ii) the 3,000...
Alaska permafrost characterization: Geophysical and related field data collected in 2021 Alaska permafrost characterization: Geophysical and related field data collected in 2021
Geophysical measurements were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) at five sites in Interior Alaska in September 2021 for the purposes of imaging permafrost structure and quantifying variations in subsurface moisture content in relation to thaw features. Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) measurements were made along transects 110-222 meters (m) in length to quantify...
Evaporation data from Lake Mead, Nevada and Arizona Evaporation data from Lake Mead, Nevada and Arizona
This U.S. Geological Survey data release presents monthly evaporation estimates from Lake Mead, Nevada and Arizona. Data are updated approximately annually. The spreadsheet includes five worksheets: (1) Read_Me worksheet contains information relevant to understanding the data contained in the rest of the worksheets. (2) Monthly_EC_Met worksheet includes data measured at a land-based...
Total organic carbon and pyrolysis analysis data for the Rock Well Petroleum core #8, southern Casper arch, Natrona County, Wyoming Total organic carbon and pyrolysis analysis data for the Rock Well Petroleum core #8, southern Casper arch, Natrona County, Wyoming
In 2006, Rock Well Petroleum drilled and logged nearly 1,600 feet (ft) of continuous core on the southern part of the Casper arch in Natrona County, Wyoming (see fig1.png). The core hole, named the Poison Spider core #8 penetrated the interval extending from the Upper Cretaceous Frontier Formation to the Triassic Alcova Limestone. The core was subsequently donated to the U.S. Geological...
