Soil-Water-Balance Model Developed to Simulate Net Infiltration in Watersheds on the North Shore of the Long Island Sound Soil-Water-Balance Model Developed to Simulate Net Infiltration in Watersheds on the North Shore of the Long Island Sound
This model archive provides input and output for Soil-Water-Balance (SWB) models developed to simulate groundwater recharge (net infiltration) for a groundwater model of watersheds on the north shore of the Long Island Sound. The simulated groundwater recharge was further refined in the calibration of the groundwater flow model, which is published in a separate ScienceBase archive (https...
Global ferromanganese crust and abyssal ferromanganese nodule prospective occurrence regions Global ferromanganese crust and abyssal ferromanganese nodule prospective occurrence regions
This data release is a polygon shapefile representing prospective occurrence regions of ferromanganese crusts and abyssal ferromanganese nodules on the seafloor throughout the global oceans. Polygons represent areas where oceanographic criteria, such as low sedimentation rate and moderate primary productivity, overlap with geologic criteria, including regions with appropriate seafloor...
Surface-Water Geochemistry of Mercury and other Constituents in Clear Lake, Lake County, California (ver. 2.0, March 2026) Surface-Water Geochemistry of Mercury and other Constituents in Clear Lake, Lake County, California (ver. 2.0, March 2026)
Clear Lake is a 180 km2 freshwater lake located approximately 120 km northwest of Sacramento in the California Coast Range. The lake is a popular sport-fishing destination, however, there are fish consumption advisories associated with mercury (Hg) contamination for several species. The lake has three arms: a large open-water region to the northwest (Upper Arm), a smaller and narrower...
Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler Data for Seneca, Owasco, and Skaneateles Lakes in Central New York, 2018 to 2020 Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler Data for Seneca, Owasco, and Skaneateles Lakes in Central New York, 2018 to 2020
This data release contains acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) data collected during 2018 to 2020 from three open water platforms in the Finger Lakes region of Central New York as part of the Advanced Monitoring Pilot study. Data were collected at Seneca Lake (USGS station number 425027076564401) during 2018, 2019, and 2020; at Owasco Lake (425327076313601) during 2019 and 2020; and...
Basin Characterization Model (BCMv8) for the Salton Sea Watershed - Monthly Historical (water years 1896-2023) Climate and Hydrology Basin Characterization Model (BCMv8) for the Salton Sea Watershed - Monthly Historical (water years 1896-2023) Climate and Hydrology
This data release contains monthly 270-meter gridded Basin Characterization Model (BCMv8) climate inputs and hydrologic outputs for the Salton Sea Watershed, which crosses the international border into Mexico in the southern part of the basin. Downscaled gridded climate inputs (Daly et al., 2008) for the California portion of the BCM (Flint et al, 2021) include: precipitation (ppt)...
Inventory of debris flows in burned (2020-2022) and unburned (1995-2020) areas in the western Cascade Range of Oregon Inventory of debris flows in burned (2020-2022) and unburned (1995-2020) areas in the western Cascade Range of Oregon
This data release contains two debris-flow inventories summarizing observations from burned and unburned areas in the western Cascade Range of Oregon (OR). The burned inventory focuses on debris flows that occurred during the first two years after the 2020 Archie Creek, Holiday Farm, Beachie Creek/Lionshead, and Riverside fires (OR_field_observations.csv). The unburned inventory (1995...
