Water Temperature of Lakes in the Conterminous U.S. Using the Landsat 8 Analysis Ready Dataset Raster Images from 2013-2023 Water Temperature of Lakes in the Conterminous U.S. Using the Landsat 8 Analysis Ready Dataset Raster Images from 2013-2023
This data release contains lake and reservoir water surface temperature summary statistics calculated from Landsat 8 Analysis Ready Dataset (ARD) images available within the Conterminous United States (CONUS) from 2013-2023. All zip files within this data release contain nested directories using .parquet files to store the data. The file example_script_for_using_parquet.R contains...
Sentinel-2 ACOLITE-DSF Aquatic Reflectance for the Conterminous United States Sentinel-2 ACOLITE-DSF Aquatic Reflectance for the Conterminous United States
This dynamic data release presents an aquatic reflectance product with 20-meter spatial resolution derived from Sentinel-2 satellite imagery for the conterminous United States using the Atmospheric Correction for OLI “lite” (ACOLITE). Aquatic reflectance, noted Rhow in ACOLITE documentation, is defined here as unitless water-leaving radiance reflectance and represents the ratio of water...
Concentration Data for 12 Elements of Concern Used in the Development of Surrogate Models for Estimating Elemental Concentrations in Surface Water of Three Hydrologic Basins (Delaware River, Illinois River and Upper Colorado River) Concentration Data for 12 Elements of Concern Used in the Development of Surrogate Models for Estimating Elemental Concentrations in Surface Water of Three Hydrologic Basins (Delaware River, Illinois River and Upper Colorado River)
The release of metals (or metalloids) to surface water can involve both natural and anthropogenic sources. Elevated metals concentrations can pose a risk to human health, wildlife, and ecosystem health, with the modes of toxicity and extent of risk varying as a function of the specific metal, its chemical form and the matrix with which it is associated (for example, dissolved versus...
Aquatic reflectance derived from Sentinel-2 Multispectral Imager data for inland waters in the conterminous United States Aquatic reflectance derived from Sentinel-2 Multispectral Imager data for inland waters in the conterminous United States
Satellite-based earth observation is a robust tool for tracking change in ecosystems. While terrestrially focused applications of remote sensing have empowered wide adoption for research and management, remote sensing of inland aquatic ecosystems remains comparably nascent. This divergence, in part, stems from the lack of standardized, accessible, and near real-time remotely sensed...
