The surface psychrometric constant (spc) is a key model parameter in actual evapotranspiration (ET) modeling using the Operational Simplified Surface Energy Balance (SSEBop) model for establishing model boundary limits for the dry/bare and wet/vegetated surface conditions. The inverse of the constant (1/spc) represents the temperature difference (dT) between the bare/dry surface and the...

Scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center in St. Petersburg, Florida (USGS–SPCSMC), conducted a bathymetric survey near Wallops and Assawoman Islands, Virginia (VA). During this study, multibeam bathymetry data were collected aboard the Research Vessel (R/V) Sallenger from June 1-13, 2024, as a part of field activity number (FAN) 2024-310...

Invasive carp residency patterns in dam tailwaters are poorly understood. To better inform removal efforts in dam tailwaters, we examined multiple predictors of invasive carp residency in the Kentucky Dam tailwater between 2021 and 2022. This data release contains a time series dataset with daily counts and daily mean residence times of Silver Carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) recorded...

This dataset consists of raw survey data from nighttime call surveys for anurans collected as part of several separate projects from 2003 to 2008. Anuran communities were surveyed during the night using parabolic microphones or naked ear with multiple observers conducting surveys. Data are presented from each survey. First release: 2025 Revised: April 2026 (ver. 1.1)

This dataset consists of raw survey data from nighttime call surveys for anurans collected as part of a series of surveys targeting Blanchard's cricket frog (Acris blanchardi) in 2024 in the upper Midwest, United States of America. Anuran communities were surveyed during the night using parabolic microphones or naked ear with multiple observers surveying sites independently over several...

We evaluated extraction efficiency of four DNA rapid extraction protocols using filters spiked with primary cultured grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) gill cells. The extraction methods included two syringe-based column extractions, an extraction solution, and a Chelex extraction protocol alongside a laboratory-based spin column kit. We estimated DNA yield using a newly designed...

This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) data release provides a digital geospatial database for the Geologic map of Precambrian rocks of the Sierra Madre, Carbon County, Wyoming, and Jackson and Routt Counties, Colorado (Houston and Graff, 1994). Attribute tables and geospatial features (points, lines and polygons) conform to the Geologic Map Schema (USGS NCGMP, 2020) and represent the...

The dataset consists of two file types. The first type consists of sets of orthologous gene sequences of the transient receptor potential (Trp) superfamily of genes in FASTA format. The sequence data were obtained from the Gene database of the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI, www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene), aligned at the codon level, and trimmed to a defined region...

The Edwards aquifer in south-central Texas is one of the most permeable and productive aquifers in the United States and is the major source of public water supply for Bexar, Comal, Hays, Medina, and Uvalde Counties. The Edwards aquifer also supplies large quantities of water for use in agriculture, business, and industry in the region. The major artesian springs of the Edwards aquifer...

This product depicts the spatial coverage of seagrass beds from 0.5-m color-infrared orthoimagery for Ship Island, Mississippi from early fall of 2021. Specifically, the map includes presence and absence of seagrass beds within a potential seagrass extent that was based on topobathymetric data. A minimum mapping unit of 4 square meters was used for this mapping effort. First release: May...

This data release contains the original campaign survey files in Receiver Independent Exchange Format (RINEX) and summaries of the survey results for 9 vertical control points in the Hampton Roads region of southeastern Virginia. In this 2023 survey campaign, a subset of 9 the original 24 benchmarks were occupied with Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) antennas and receivers as...

This dataset includes post-processed data for underwater fish observations by using Acoustic Resolution Imaging Sonar technology in Montezuma Slough, Sacramento River, and in the Sacramento Deep Water Shipping Channel in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, California, USA. This data release includes sample data associated with each video file collected, swimming behavior of groups of...
