March 2002 CTD, PAR, oxygen and chlorophyll profiles for the Georgia Coastal Ecosystems Intracoastal Waterway transect

Four hydrographic surveys were performed from March 22 to March 23, 2002, along the Intracoastal Waterway between the Altamaha River south of Wolf Island and Sapelo Sound (Intracoastal Waterway Transect, GCE-IC). Vertical CTD profiles were collected at various intervals from 0km to 29km along the transect during various tidal regimes. Conductivity, temperature, pressure, optical back scatter, photosynthetically-available radiation, oxygen and chlorophyll a fluorescence were measured, and depth, salinity and sigma-t were calculated for each profile. Data values collected during the upcast were deleted. This data set was collected as part of the Georgia Coastal Ecosystems LTER quarterly hydrographic monitoring program.

September 2002 bin-averaged CTD profiles for the Georgia Coastal Ecosystems Intracoastal Waterway transect

Three hydrographic surveys were performed from September 16 to September 18, 2002, along the Intracoastal Waterway between the Altamaha River south of Wolf Island and Sapelo Sound (Intracoastal Waterway Transect, GCE-IC). Vertical CTD profiles were collected at various intervals from 0km to 29km along the transect during various tidal regimes. Conductivity, temperature, pressure and optical backscatter were measured, and depth, salinity and sigma-t were calculated for each profile. Data values collected on the upcast were deleted, and the remaining data were averaged within 0.5m depth bins and interpolated to produce a smooth profile for contouring. This data set was collected as part of the Georgia Coastal Ecosystems LTER quarterly hydrographic monitoring program.

Fecal bacteria contamination of floodwaters and a coastal waterway from tidally-driven stormwater network inundation

<p>Inundation of coastal stormwater networks by tides is widespread due to sea-level rise (SLR). The water quality risks posed by tidal water rising up through stormwater infrastructure (pipes and catch basins), out onto roadways, and back out to receiving water bodies are poorly understood but may be substantial given that stormwater networks are a known source of fecal contamination. In this study, we (1) documented temporal variation in concentrations of <em>Enterococcus spp</em>. (ENT), the fecal indicator bacteria standard for marine waters, in a coastal waterway over a two-month period and more intensively during two perigean spring tide periods, (2) measured ENT concentrations in roadway floodwaters during tidal floods, and (3) explained variation in ENT concentrations as a function of tidal inundation, antecedent rainfall, and stormwater infrastructure using a pipe network inundation model and robust linear mixed effect models. We find that ENT concentrations in the receiving water body vary as a function of tidal stage and antecedent rainfall, but also site-specific characteristics of the stormwater network that drains to the waterbody. Tidal variables significantly explain measured ENT variance in the waterway, however, runoff drove higher ENT concentrations in the receiving waterway. Samples of floodwaters on roadways during both perigean spring tide events were limited, but all samples exceed thresholds for safe public use of recreational water. These results indicate that inundation of stormwater networks by tides could pose public health hazards in receiving water bodies and on roadways, which will likely be exacerbated in the future due to continued SLR.</p>

A Policy and Infrastructure Evaluation Model of Commodity Flows through Inland Waterway Ports (Dataset)

<p>The purpose of this project is to guide strategic investment into port capacity through the development of a policy and infrastructure evaluation model of inland waterway commodity flows. A multi-stage stochastic optimization model will be developed to evaluate tradeoffs in strategic, long-term port infrastructure investment with mid-term capacity expansion decisions and provision of complementary highway infrastructure made by public and private stakeholders, and shorter-term operational practices made by shippers and carriers. This work builds on prior MarTREC projects which developed a Multi-Commodity Assignment Problem to estimate annual commodity flows through inland waterway ports from truck Global Positioning System (GPS), marine Automatic Identification System (AIS), and the Lock Performance Management System (LPMS). &nbsp;The proposed project will explore critical extensions of the assignment model: 1) disaggregation of the temporal scope to reflect monthly seasonality among commodities, 2) incorporation of uncertainty related to observed vehicle and vessel movement data, and 3) inclusion of transportation costs. With these extensions the team expects to increase the accuracy and resolution of the commodity-based port throughput estimates and to allow the model to be used to not only describe the current system but to prescribe policy and project investment strategies for public and private sector transportation decision makers. Calibration and validation of the multi-stage optimization model will be done through two case studies. The regional-based study will use historical truck GPS, marine AIS, and LPMS datasets. The national-based study will use data from the Billion Ton Study led by the US Department of Energy. This will ensure a feasible and realistic base-case on which to compare future policy scenarios.&nbsp; This project aligns with MarTREC&rsquo;s research focus area in Maritime and Multimodal Logistics Management by modeling commodity flows through ports that serve as critical connections for the multimodal freight supply chain.</p>

SEAS5/System4-LARSIM_ME Seasonal Streamflow Forecasts for German Waterways

<p>The datasets provided were produced as part of the IMPREX project for work package 4, task 1 &ldquo;<em>Development of the regional and European scale reforecast dataset of hydrological extremes</em> &ldquo;, work package 4, task 2 &ldquo;<em>Analysis of the impact of changes in precipitation attributes from short to medium and climatic ranges</em>&rdquo; and work package 9, task 3 &ldquo;<em>Case studies</em>&rdquo;. Analysis of the datasets are published in Mei&szlig;ner et al. 2017, in Deliverable 4.2 &bdquo; <em>The sensitivity of sub-seasonal to seasonal streamflow forecasts to meteorological forcing quality, modelled hydrology and the initial hydrological conditions</em> &ldquo; (Arnal et al. 2017) and in Deliverable 4.3 &ldquo;<em>Forecast skill developments</em>&rdquo; (Weerts et al. 2019). The aim was to evaluate the potential skill of seasonal streamflow forecasting for the German waterways Rhine, Elbe and Danube.</p> <p>As seasonal meteorological forecast data the reforecast dataset from ECMWF&rsquo;s Seasonal Forecast System 4 (S4 hereafter) (Molteni et al. 2011) as well as from the fifth generation of ECMWF&rsquo;s Seasonal forecasting system SEAS5 (ECMWF 2017, Johnson et al. 2018, Owens &amp; Hewson 2018) of the period 1981 &ndash; 2016 were used.</p> <p>The horizontal resolution of System 4 is approximately 80 km. In operational mode the ensemble consists of 51 members generated by using an ensemble of initial conditions and by the use of stochastic physics. Re-forecasts starting on the 1st of each month for the years 1981-2016 are generated with the same model as used for the operational forecast. For the period 1981 &ndash; 2011 the ensemble size varies between 15 members (initialization months January, March, April, June, July, September, October, December) and 51 members (for the remaining months). Since 2012, the ensemble size is 51 members all over the year (operational forecasts).</p> <p>The fifth generation of ECMWF seasonal forecasting system SEAS5 replaced System 4 in November 2017. The horizontal resolution of the model is 0.4&deg;x0.4&deg; (approx. 36 km). The ensemble consists of 51-members created using a combination of Sea Surface Temperature SST and atmospheric initial condition perturbations and the activation of stochastic physics (ECMWF 2017). Re-Forecasts with the ensemble size of 25 members starting on the 1st of each month for the years 1981-2016 are generated with the same model as used for the operational forecast.</p> <p>The hydrological model applied is called LARSIM-ME (ME &ndash; MittelEuropa = Central Europe) and is based in the model software LARSIM (Large Area Runoff SImulation Model) originally developed by Ludwig &amp; Bremicker (2006). LARSIM-ME covers the catchments of the rivers Rhine, Elbe, Weser/Ems, Odra and Upper Danube. The total catchment size simulated by the model is approximately 800,000 km&sup2;. The spatial resolution is 5 km x 5 km and the computational time-step is daily. For more details about the model see Mei&szlig;ner et al. (2017).</p> <p>The precipitation and temperature data, used to force the hydrological model in simulation mode up to the initialization of the particular forecast, is taken from the E-OBS dataset, version 18 (Haylock et al. 2008). The downward surface solar radiation is extracted from the ERA-Interim reanalysis (Dee et al. 2011) for the period 1979-2018. For further details on data processing see Mei&szlig;ner et al. (2017).</p> <p>As meteorological seasonal forecasts tend to drift towards the model climate with increasing lead-time, the outputs daily total precipitation and air temperature from S4, interpolated to a 50 km x 50 km grid (multiple of the 5 km x 5 km model grid) and from SEAS5, interpolated to a 25 km x 25 km grid, respectively, were drift-corrected with the meteorological observation dataset used for the baseline simulation. As drift correction method the quantile-quantile method (Piani et al. 2010) was used. We corrected daily values of the different variables on a monthly basis, which means each daily value of the same month is corrected by the same scaling. Separate drift correction factors were estimated for each forecast initialization date (calendar month) and monthly lead time (month 1 to month 7) based on the reforecast datasets. In the final step the corrected precipitation and temperature were downscaled to the 5 km by 5 km model grid and used as forcing to create the streamflow re-forecast dataset with LARSIM-ME.</p> <p><strong>Dataset Q_OBS_DE.nc:</strong></p> <p>Mean daily observed flow of the gauges Kaub, Koeln, Ruhrort / Rhine, Pfelling, Hofkirchen / Danube, Desden, Magdeburg Strombruecke, Neu-Darchau / Elbe for the period 1951&ndash;2017 stored as variable <strong><em>q_obs(time=24472, stations=8</em>)</strong>.</p> <p>Data originate from the database of gauge measurements of the Federal Waterways and Shipping Administration (WSV).

Analysis of the datasets are published in Deliverable 4.4 &bdquo;<em>Estimation of hazards based on improved representation of highly vulnerable water resources of strategic importance on the climate scale</em>&ldquo; (Falloon et al 2019). The aim was to study the impact of internal climate model variability and bias correction method on the climate change signal of relevant flow indicators for the German waterways Rhine, Elbe and Danube.</p> <p>To assess the impact of internal variability of the global climate model on future changes of flow, precipitation, temperature and global radiation of the 16-member ensemble generated with the RCM KNMI-RACMO2 driven by the GCM EC-EARTH 2.3 provided by WP3 of IMPREX were used. EC-EARTH was run 16 times from 1850 to 2100, each member starting from a slightly different initial state, under forcing of historical emissions until 2005 and the RCP8.5 greenhouse gas concentration pathway from 2006 onwards. Each of the EC-EARTH members was subsequently dynamically downscaled using KNMI-RACMO2 on a 0.11&deg; (~12 km) resolved domain (Aalbers et al. 2018).</p> <p>To correct the systematic model biases of climate models different bias correction methods were applied: (1) no bias correction, (2) linear scaling (Lenderink et al. 2007) and (3) quantile-quantile mapping (Piani et al. 2010). Bias correction relationships were derived for five-day periods (for each variable and location, in total 73 bias correction relationships were derived) including 13 days before and after the considered five-day period (total window size was 31 days) from the observations and values of the regional climate simulations. The period used to estimate the bias correction relationships was 1971-2000.</p> <p>The hydrological model applied is called LARSIM-ME (ME &ndash; MittelEuropa = Central Europe) and is based in the model software LARSIM (Large Area Runoff SImulation Model) originally developed by Ludwig &amp; Bremicker (2006). LARSIM-ME covers the catchments of the rivers Rhine, Elbe, Weser/Ems, Odra and Upper Danube. The total catchment size simulated by the model is approximately 800,000 km&sup2;. The spatial resolution is 5 km x 5 km and the computational time-step is daily. As observed meteorological forcings, precipitation, air temperature and global radiation from the HYRAS data set (Rauthe et al. 2013) available for the 5 km x 5 km model grid and the period 1951-2015 were used. The hydrological model was calibrated using the automatic calibration scheme Shuffled Complex Evolution SCE-UA algorithm (Duan et al. 1994). For more details about the model see Mei&szlig;ner et al. (2017).</p> <p>The meteorological variables air temperature, precipitation and global radiation produced by the KNMI RACMO-EC-EARTH 16 member ensemble (period 1951-2100) were interpolated to a 25 km x 25 km grid and afterwards bias corrected with respect to the observation data (HYRAS) used for calibration of the hydrological model LARSIM. From this 25&nbsp;km&nbsp;x&nbsp;25&nbsp;km grid the bias corrected variables were downscaled to the 5&nbsp;km&nbsp;x&nbsp;5&nbsp;km model grid of LARSIM using monthly background climatology fields on the 5&nbsp;km&nbsp;x&nbsp;5&nbsp;km target grid of the HYRAS dataset. The bias-corrected and downscaled data was then used as meteorological forcing of LARSIM to calculate flow projections for the rivers Rhine, Elbe and Upper Danube (up to the German/Austrian border).</p> <p><strong>Dataset Q_OBS_DE.nc:</strong></p> <p>Mean daily observed flow of the gauges Kaub, Koeln, Ruhrort / Rhine, Pfelling, Hofkirchen / Danube, Desden, Magdeburg Strombruecke, Neu-Darchau / Elbe for the period 1951&ndash;2017 stored as variable <em><strong>q_obs(time=24472, stations=8)</strong></em>.</p> <p>Data originate from the database of gauge measurements of the Federal Waterways and Shipping Administration (WSV).

ClepsHresEns-HbvRhein134-SbkReRhein Medium Range Waterlevel Ensemble Forecasts for Waterway Rhine

<p>The datasets provided here were produced as part of the IMPREX project for work package 9, task 3 &ldquo;<em>Case studies</em>&rdquo;. Analysis of the datasets are published in Deliverable 9.2 &ldquo;<em>Framework for the assessment of forecast quality and value in the navigation sector</em>&ldquo;(Klein &amp; Mei&szlig;ner 2017) and Deliverable 9.4 &ldquo;<em>Semi-operational forecasting system for Rhine, Danube and Elbe to support improved transport cost planning</em>&ldquo; (Klein &amp; Mei&szlig;ner 2019). The aim of the dataset was to apply the statistical post-processing method Ensemble Model Output Statistics EMOS (Gneiting et al. 2005) to estimate the predictive uncertainty of the waterlevel ensemble forecasts, in order to provide probabilistic water level forecasts to the end users (Klein &amp; Mei&szlig;ner 2019).</p> <p>Meteorological forcing data used to calculate water-level forecasts with an extended forecast horizon are based on a 68 member multi-model ensemble: 51 ensemble members from ECMWF ENS (1 control forecast and 50 perturbed members) as well as the control forecast ECMWF HRES with a higher spatial resolution (Leutbecher &amp; Palmer 2008, Owens &amp; Hewson 2018), and the 16 members of the limited-area ensemble prediction system by the consortium for small-scale modelling COSMO LEPS (Montani et al. 2011, Marsigli et al. 2014). Archived meteorological real-time forecasts of the period January 2008 to December 2015 have been used to produce this comprehensive water level re-forecast data set.</p> <p>The conceptual, semi-distributed rainfall-runoff model HBV-96 (Bergstr&ouml;m 1995, Lindstrom et al. 1997) is applied to calculate the flow forecasts used as boundary conditions and lateral inflows of the hydrodynamic model SOBEK (Deltares 2012) used to calculate water level forecasts along the river Rhine. The river Rhine basin is divided into 134 subbasins which are further subdivided into hydrological response units (HRU) according to land use and elevation classes. The flow formation processes are calculated on those HRUs. The model calculates flow with a temporal resolution of 1 h using temperature and precipitation fields that have been interpolated over the subbasins as meteorological input.</p> <p>The hydrodynamic model suite SOBEK is used as one-dimensional model, which uses cross-section information of the River Rhine as well as its main tributaries. The distance between the cross-sections, which cover the river bathymetry as well as its floodplains, is non-equidistant and ranges between 100 m and 800 m. As the main tributaries of the River Rhine are impounded rivers (e.g. Moselle, Main) the SOBEK-model includes several weirs with their specific control rules in order to simulate the real behaviour of these elements, too.</p> <p>The flow and water level forecasts were initialized each day at 06:00 UTC, which means that observed real-time meteorological data, interpolated to the subbasins of the hydrological model, up to the forecast date were used as forcings of the hydrological model and observed flow was used as input for the hydrodynamic model to initialize the model states. For the forecast period meteorological ensemble runs from the different Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models interpolated to the subbasins were used as forcings of the hydrological model. Flow forecasts of the large tributaries of the river Rhine simulated with HBV were then used as input for the hydrodynamic model. To reduce the error of the input to the hydrodynamic model autoregressive error correction models (Broersen &amp; Weerts 2005) was applied using the differences between the simulation of the model using meteorological observations as forcings and the actually past flow observations as training data. This error correction reduces the error of the hydrological model at the forecast initialization time to zero. To reduce the error of the waterlevel forecasts obtained by running the hydrodynamic model, again autoregressive error correction models were applied using the differences between the water level simulation using observed flow as input and the water-level observations of the past.</p> <p><strong>Dataset H_OBS_RHINE.nc:</strong></p> <p>Hourly observed water levels of the gauges Kaub, Koeln, Ruhrort / Rhine for the period 2008&ndash;2016 stored as variable <em><strong>h_obs(time=78912, stations=3).</strong></em></p> <p>Data originate from the database of gauge measurements of the Federal Waterways and Shipping Administration (WSV).

ENS-LARSIM_ME Monthly Streamflow Forecasts for German Waterways

<p>The datasets provided here were produced as part of the IMPREX project for work package 4, task 1 &ldquo;<em>Development of the regional and European scale reforecast dataset of hydrological extremes</em>&ldquo; and work package 9, task 3 &ldquo;<em>Case studies</em>&rdquo;. Analysis of the datasets are published in Deliverable 9.4 &ldquo;<em>Semi-operational forecasting system for Rhine, Danube and Elbe to support improved transport cost planning</em>&ldquo; (Klein &amp; Mei&szlig;ner 2019). The aim was to evaluate the potential skill of monthly streamflow forecasting for the German waterways Rhine, Elbe and Danube.</p> <p>As meteorological forcing data to calculate monthly flow forecasts the extended-range forecasts from ECMWF-ENS are applied. Twice a week (Monday and Thursday), the ENS model is extended to a lead time up to 46 days by ECMWF. The horizontal resolution for the first 15 days is 0.2&deg;x0.2&deg; (approx. 18 km) and from day 15 to day 46 it is 0.4&deg;x0.4&deg; (approx. 36 km). The ensemble consists of 1 control forecasts and 50 perturbed members, made from slightly different initial atmospheric and oceanic conditions (Owens &amp; Hewson 2018). Re-Forecasts are generated with the same model as used for the operational forecasts for the past 20 years, starting on the same day and month as each real time forecast. The ensemble size is 11-member, which means that in total 20 years x 11 members = 220 forecasts are available for each real time forecast date. The re-forecasts are also created twice a week (Mondays and Thursdays) and are available a week in advance.</p> <p>The hydrological model applied is called LARSIM-ME (ME &ndash; MittelEuropa = Central Europe) and is based in the model software LARSIM (Large Area Runoff SImulation Model) originally developed by Ludwig &amp; Bremicker (2006). LARSIM-ME covers the catchments of the rivers Rhine, Elbe, Weser/Ems, Odra and Upper Danube. The total catchment size simulated by the model is approximately 800,000 km&sup2;. The spatial resolution is 5 km x 5 km and the computational time-step is daily. For more details about the model see Mei&szlig;ner et al. (2017).</p> <p>Real-time meteorological station data (precipitation, temperature and global radiation) was interpolated to the 5 km x 5 km model grid and used as meteorological forcing to initialize LARSIM-ME at the forecast date.</p> <p>Re-forecasts for the hindcast dates 10th March 2016 &ndash; 09th March 2017 generating re-forecasts of the last 20 years were used. As station density of real-time meteorological station data is limited before 2000, only reforecasts with a forecast date after 1999 were considered. Daily total precipitation, daily mean air temperature and global radiation of the reforecast dataset of ECMWF-ENS were interpolated to the 5kmx5km model grid and used as forcing to create the streamflow re-forecast dataset with LARSIM-ME.</p> <p><strong>Dataset Q_OBS.nc:</strong></p> <p>Mean daily observed flow of the gauges Kaub, Koeln, Ruhrort / Rhine, Pfelling, Hofkirchen / Danube, Desden, Magdeburg Strombruecke, Neu-Darchau / Elbe for the period 1951&ndash;2017 stored as variable <strong>q_obs(time=24472, stations=8)</strong>.</p> <p>Data originate from the database of gauge measurements of the Federal Waterways and Shipping Administration (WSV).
