An extensive set of physics-based XBeach Non-hydrostatic hydrodynamic model simulations (with input files here included) were used to evaluate the influence of shore-normal reef channels on flooding along fringing reef-lined coasts, specifically during extreme wave conditions when the risk for coastal flooding and the resulting impact to coastal communities is greatest. These input files...

Many aspects of recurring plant developmental events – vegetation phenology – are measured by remote sensing. By consistently measuring the timing and magnitude of the growing season, it is possible to study the complex relationships among drivers of the seasonal cycle of vegetation, including legacy conditions. We studied the role of current and legacy climate, and contextual factors on...

This data release contains predictions of stream biological condition as defined by the Chesapeake basin-wide index of biotic integrity for stream macroinvertebrates (Chessie BIBI) using Random Forest models with landscape data for small streams (≤ 200 km2 in upstream drainage) across the Chesapeake Bay Watershed (CBW). Predictions were made at eight time periods (2001, 2004, 2006, 2008...

This page contains a zipped folder which contains all items necessary to run trend models and produce results published in U.S. Geological Scientific Investigations Report 2022-5086 [Tatge, W.S., Hoogestraat, G., and Nustad, R.A., 2022, Water-Quality Data and Trends in the Rapid Creek Basin, South Dakota, 1970–2020: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2022-5086]. To...

Model Viewer, a graphical user interface for three-dimensional visualization of ground-water results, has been updated to support reading the results from the U.S. Geological Survey’s MODFLOW 6 program. Two examples are included. The example ex-gwf-csub-p04 illustrates the use of the new DIS6 grid format. The second example ex-gwf-disvmesh demonstrates the ability to load and display the...

Dataset was generated by performing water-balance computations for the Upper Colorado River Basin for the months October 1913 through September 2017. The basin area was first divided into 17,626 4-kim grid cells, and these were then grouped by sub-basin and annual precipitation into 960 subareas; the dataset includes a lookup table for this grouping. For each of the 960 subareas, the...

A biogeochemistry model was developed to examine plant gross primary productivity (GPP), net primary productivity (NPP), plant respiration, soil respiration, soil organic carbon sequestration rate and storage under scenarios of drought and normal conditions at Tidal Freshwater Forested Wetlands (TFFW) sites along the Waccamaw River and Savannah River in the Southeastern United States.

The code runs a population viability assessment simulation and analyzes the simulated output for Gopher Tortoise Metapopulations in the South Eastern US.

This data release provides a wave model application and wave parameters derived from simulations of a schematized ancient lake on Mars. The phase-averaged wave model, SWAN, was applied within the Delft3D modeling system (Deltares, 2018) with reduced gravity and a range of atmospheric densities and wind speeds to simulate potential conditions that could generate wind waves on Mars. Wave...

These rasters represent plant cover during each of the first five growing seasons after fire in the area burned in the 2015 Soda wildfire. Specifically included cover layers are annual herbaceous, perennial herbaceous, shrub, exotic annual grass, and bareground. Training data for each year was collected via grid-point intercept monitoring between April and August. Empirical Bayesian...

ModelMuse is a graphical user interface for several different groundwater modeling programs. ModelMuse has been updated to generate the input files for the parameter estimation software suite PEST when used with MODFLOW or SUTRA models, run PEST-based parameter estimation, and display the updated model inputs after parameter estimation. The PEST input files can also be used with PEST++...

This version of ModelMuse fixes a serious bug in ModelMuse version 5.1.
