Survey of Pacific Northwest public land managers science and values project, 2023

This dataset records survey data about public land managers who work in Oregon and Washington (Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, Fish and Wildlife Service, National Park Service, Oregon Department of Forestry, Washington Department of Natural Resources). Data was collected in 2023 via the online survey platform Qualtrics. Data collection is complete. The dataset includes measures of managers beliefs about 1) variable density thinning of mature growth forests, 2) salvage logging of burned areas, 3) translocation of plant species from hotter and drier seed zones to adapt to climate change. It includes how managers evaluate the usefulness of scientific evidence and the soundness of action prescriptions for each of the three management issues Respondents were randomly assigned to either receive long-term or short-term studies, and positive or negative results. The dataset includes measures of sense of belonging (how much managers believe they belong at their workplace) and measures of public support/public threat (how much they believe the public understands and supports the actions they take on the landscape). The dataset includes respondent agency.

Long-term growth, mortality and regeneration of trees in permanent vegetation plots in the Pacific Northwest, 1910 to present

A network of more than 130 permanent vegetation plots provides long-term information on patterns and rates of forest succession in most of the major forest zones of the Pacific Northwest. The plot network extends from the coast to the Cascades in western Oregon and Washington and east to ponderosa pine forests in the Oregon Cascades. Most of the permanent plots were established during two intervals: from 1910 to 1948, and from 1970 to 1989. The earlier plots were established by U.S. Forest Service researchers to quantify timber growth in young stands of important commercial species and to help answer other applied forestry questions. The more recent period of plot establishment began under the Coniferous Forest Biome program of the International Biological Program during the 1970s, and continued under the Long-term Ecological Research program. A broader set of objectives motivated plot establishment since 1970, especially quantification of composition, structure, and population and ecosystem dynamics of natural forests. Plots have one of three spatial arrangements: (1) contiguous rectangles subjectively placed within an area of homogeneous forest; (2) circular plots subjectively placed within an area of homogeneous forest; and (3) circular plots systematically located on long transects to sample an entire watershed, ridge, or reserve. Rectangular study areas are mostly 1.0 ha or 0.4 ha (1.0 ac) in size (slope-corrected). Circular plots are 0.1 ha (0.247 ac), not corrected for slope. The tree stratum is the focus of work in closed-forest study areas. All trees larger than a minimum diameter (5 cm for most areas) are permanently tagged. Plots are censused every 5 or 6 years. Attributes measured or assessed at each census include tree diameter, tree vigor, and the condition of the crown and stem. The same attributes are recorded for trees (ingrowth) that have exceeded the minimum diameter since the previous census. In many plots tree locations are surveyed to provide a

Data from: Basin-scale biogeochemical and ecological impacts of islands in the tropical Pacific Ocean

<p><strong>Abstract</strong></p> <p>In the relatively unproductive waters of the tropical ocean, islands can enhance phytoplankton biomass and create hotspots of productivity and biodiversity that sustain upper trophic levels, including fish that are crucial to the survival of islands&rsquo; inhabit- ants. This phenomenon, termed the island mass effect 65 years ago, has been widely described. However, most studies focused on individual islands, and very few documented phytoplankton community composition. Consequently, basin-scale impacts on phytoplankton biomass, primary production and biodiversity remain largely unknown. Here we systematically identify enriched waters near islands from satellite chlorophyll concentrations (a proxy for phytoplankton biomass) to analyse the island mass effect for all tropical Pacific islands on a climatological basis. We find enrichments near 99% of islands, impacting 3% of the tropical Pacific Ocean. We quantify local and basin-scale increases in chlorophyll and primary production by contrasting island-enriched waters with nearby waters. We also reveal a significant impact on phytoplankton community structure and biodiversity that is identifiable in anomalies in the ocean colour signal. Our results suggest that, in addition to strong local bio- geochemical impacts, islands may have even stronger and farther-reaching ecological impacts.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Data set and method</strong></p> <p>For each island, an algorithm&nbsp;detected the Island Mass Effect&nbsp;(IME)&nbsp;from climatological satellite chlorophyll maps as a&nbsp;contour enclosing the island and surrounding high-chlorophyll waters, termed IME region. A reference (REF) region of the same size was detected alongside each IME region, enclosing nearby non-IME waters. The IME and REF regions were used to build the IME database described in Messi&eacute; et al. (2022), that includes variables related to satellite chlorophyll, primary production, and PHYSAT phenoclass diversity metrics in IME and REF regions on a climatological basis.</p> <p>This data set includes 4&nbsp;files:</p> <ul> <li>island_database.csv: information regarding the 664 islands and shallow reefs where the IME detection was applied</li> <li>IME_masks.nc: monthly climatological masks for the IME and REF regions for all islands,</li> <li>IME_database.nc: IME database as a function of island and climatological month&nbsp;(chlorophyll, primary production, and phenoclass-derived variables calculated within the IME and REF masks).</li> <li>PHYSAT_climatology.nc: climatological maps for each PHYSAT phenoclass, used to calculate phenoclass-derived variables in the IME database.</li> </ul> <p>See details regarding data sources and calculations in <a href="https://rdcu.be/cO4qr">Messi&eacute; et al.

Seawater dissolved chromium concentration, redox speciation, and stable isotope composition in the North Pacific Ocean

<p>Dissolved seawater chromium concentrations, redox speciation, and stable isotope composition were measured on samples collected in the North Pacific Ocean. Samples were collected over diel cycles (2 for stations 1-5, 1 for station 6) on board the RV Kilo Moana cruise KM1713 from Seward Alaska to Honolulu Hawai&rsquo;i. Sampling stations spanned the subarctic North Pacific (stations 1 &amp; 2), the dynamic subarctic-subtropical convergence zone (stations 3 and 4) and the subtropical North Pacific (stations 5 and 6). Chromium was enriched from filtered samples by Mg(OH)<sub>2</sub> co-precipitation and analyzed by MC-ICP-MS using either isotope dilution (Cr redox speciation) or double spike methodology.</p>

Dataset for "Holocene hydroclimatic variability in the tropical Pacific explained by changing ENSO diversity."

<p>This repository contains the tropical Pacific sea surface temperature and global precipitation data from the CESM1 time slice experiments, which were used for the analysis presented in Karamperidou &amp; DiNezio (2022), Nature Communications (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-022-34880-8)</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>From Karamperidou &amp; DiNezio (2022):</p> <p>&ldquo;To assess the response of ENSO flavors to orbital forcing over the past 12,000 years (12ka), we use a suite of time-slice experiments in 3ka intervals with version 1 of the Community Earth System Model (CESM1).&nbsp;Each experiment is 400-600 years long and was run until the surface climate and oceanic processes controlling tropical climate, such as the depth of the thermocline in the equatorial Pacific or the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), have reached equilibrium. All simulations exhibit minimal drift in global mean surface temperature (less than 0.05<sup>o</sup>C per century), tropical mean surface temperature (less than 0.04<sup>o</sup>C per century), the depth of the equatorial thermocline in the Pacific (less than 0.3m per century), and the strength of the AMOC (less than 0.25 Sv per century) during the periods used in the analyses. With the exception of the 12 ka BP interval which includes ice sheet changes and lower greenhouse gases, the primary forcing in the 0, 3, 6, and 9 ka BP intervals is changes in Earth's precession, and each simulation branched off its preceding one, starting from 0ka sequentially through the Holocene.

Journey North - Gray Whale observations by volunteer community scientists across the Eastern Pacific Ocean (1997-2020)

This data package contains Gray Whale migration data consisting of 1,546 total observational reports from 1997 - 2020 across the Eastern Pacific Ocean. These data were collected by 163 community scientists for Journey North, a crowdsourced participatory science program of the University of Wisconsin-Madison Arboretum. The Journey North Gray Whale Project is a study of Gray Whale phenology conducted at broad spatial and temporal scales. Since 1997, community scientists have tracked the migration of Gray Whales (Eschrichtius robustus) through the Eastern Pacific Ocean. Observers also provide estimates of the number of whales sighted. However, observers do not follow standardized methods for counting species observed. Observers do not observe at set times of the day, do not repeat observations regularly, and are not required to provide the length of time during which a specified number of species observed were counted. Therefore, it is recommended that this dataset be analyzed to indicate presence not abundance. Researchers are encouraged to read the rich information provided by volunteers in their comments. These comments provide qualitative information about observational reports. Researchers are also encouraged to refer to submitted photographs that also provide context for observational reports. The Journey North Gray Whale Project dataset is hosted by the University of Wisconsin-Madison Shared Web Hosting Service.

Chlorophyll a concentration, particulate organique carbon, and particle mean size index [gamma; 0.2 - 20 µm] measured using an hyperspectral spectrophotometer [ACS, Wetlabs] during the Tara Pacific Expedition 2016-2018

<p>The Tara Pacific expedition (2016-2018) sampled coral ecosystems around 32 islands in the Pacific Ocean, and sampled the surface of oceanic waters at 249 locations, resulting in the collection of nearly 58,000 samples (Gorsky et al. 2019, Planes et al. 2019, Flores et al. 2020). The expedition was designed to systematically study corals, fish, plankton, and seawater, and included the collection of samples for advanced biogeochemical, molecular, and imaging analysis. Here we provide the continuous dataset originating from the hyperspectral and multispectral spectrophotometers&nbsp;[ACS]&nbsp;instruments acquiring continuously during the full course of the campaign. Surface seawater was pumped continuously through a hull inlet located 1.5 m under the waterline using a membrane pump (10 LPM; Shurflo), circulated through a vortex debubbler, a flow meter, and distributed to a number of flow-through instruments. An&nbsp;[ACS]&nbsp;spectrophotometer (WETLabs) measured hyper-spectral (4 nm resolution) attenuation and absorption in the visible and near infrared except between Panama and Tahiti where an AC-9 multispectral spectrophotometer (WETLabs) was used instead. The flow was automatically directed through a 0.2 &micro;m filter for 10 minutes every hour before being circulated through the&nbsp;spectrophotometer to eliminate the impact of biofouling and instrument drift and estimate particulate absorption [ap] and attenuation [cp] (Slade et al. 2010). Chlorophyll a content was estimated from&nbsp;particulate absorption line height at 676 nm&nbsp;(Boss et al. 2001). The particulate organic carbon concentration&nbsp;[poc]&nbsp;was estimated using an empirical relation (Gardner et al. 2006) between measured&nbsp;[poc]&nbsp;and measured&nbsp;[cp]. An indicator for size distribution of particles between 0.2 and ~20 &micro;m&nbsp;[gamma]&nbsp;was calculated from&nbsp;[cp]&nbsp;(Boss et al 2001). The data was processed with custom software for underway optical data (InLineAnalysis software available on GitHub).&nbsp;The detailed information regarding the data processing is given in the processing report attached with the data and in Lombard et al. (In prep.). These results are preliminary: no matchup with in-situ chlorophyll from HPLC or [poc] measurements were performed.</p>

Historical Sea Surface Temperature (SST) data and thermal stress indices of the Tara Pacific Expedition's coral reef sampling sites, from May 1st 2002 to August 31st 2018.

<p>The Tara Pacific expedition (2016-2018) sampled coral ecosystems at 111 sampling sites around 32 islands in the Pacific Ocean, and sampled the surface of oceanic waters at 249 locations, resulting in the collection of nearly 58,000 samples (Gorsky et al. 2019, Planes et al. 2019, Flores et al. 2020). The expedition was designed to systematically study corals, fish, plankton, and seawater, and included the collection of samples for advanced biogeochemical, molecular, and imaging analysis.</p> <p>Here we provide a high-resolution historical dataset that spans from 2002 to each sites&rsquo; sampling date and gives an overview of past climate variability and heatwaves experienced by corals sampled at each site. Ocean skin temperature (11 and 12 &micro;m spectral bands longwave algorithm) was extracted from 1km resolution level-2 MODIS-Aqua and MODIS-Terra from 2002 to the sampling date and from level-2 VIIRS-SNPP from 2012 to the sampling date. Day and night overpasses were used to maximize data recovery. Following recommendations from NASA Ocean Color (OB.DAAC), only SST products of quality 0 and 1 were used. The 9 closest pixels to the sampling sites of each scene were extracted. All the extracted pixels from the 3 satellites were then averaged daily to obtain daily SST averages and standard deviations time series for each sampling site, from 2002 to the sampling date.</p> <p>Each time series was first averaged on a Julian day basis to provide a seasonal average. This yearly seasonal average was triplicated and concatenated into a 3-year seasonal cycle to apply a digital low pass filter on the middle year without generating artifacts. A digital low pass filter (filter order 3, pass band ripple 0.1; &ldquo;filfilt&rdquo; function in matlab) with 36 Julian days windows was applied to the concatenated time series to remove high frequency noise. The middle year was then extracted from the concatenated time series to recover the seasonal cycle. The sea surface temperature anomaly was calculated as the SST minus the seasonal cycle over the full time series. Considering the short periods of missing data (mean of the 95th percentile of the duration of consecutive days with missing data: 9.8 &plusmn; 4.1 days), the missing values in the SST and SST anomaly time series were linearly interpolated in order to calculate thermal stress indices. The SST anomaly frequency was calculated as the number of days over the past 52 weeks when the SST anomaly is greater than or equal to 1 &deg;C. Thermal stress indices relevant to coral reef health were then calculated using methodology developed for the Coral Reef Temperature Anomaly Database (CoRTAD) data base (Saha et al. 2019). Events of cold temperature accumulation were also reported to cause bleaching and mortality (Lirman et al. 2011; Gonz&aacute;lez-Espinosa &amp; Donner 2020), therefore, the same set of indices were calculated for cold stress adapting the CoRTAD method, but using the minimum weekly climatologies.</p> <p>A condensed table containing single values associated with each sampling site was created (&#39;TaraPacific_SST_timeseries_mean_products&#39;) extracting the minimum, maximum, sum, averages, standard deviations, and value recorded at the sampling day of each of these indices (detailed in the readme file provided with the dataset &#39;README_TaraPacific_historical_SST.md&#39;). Additional metrics of the last heating and cooling events as well as the time of recovery is also provided to represent the state of thermal stress at the day of sampling.</p>

North Pacific Subtropical Gyre RCLV Atlas (Version 2)

<p>This dataset tracks Rotationally Coherent Lagrangian Vortices (RCLVs) at an 8-day resolution in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre region around Hawai&rsquo;i. The &lsquo;lat&rsquo; and &lsquo;lon&rsquo; variables represent the center coordinates of the vortex, or the extremum of integrated relative vorticity. The contour boundaries demark the edge of the RCLV based on 32-day backward-in-time Lagrangian trajectories. In other words, eddies in this dataset represents a fluid mass of substantial size that was coherent for at least 32 days. The fluid masses are tracked through time to assign IDs and RCLV ages. The software used to generate the dataset is publicly available at https://github.com/lexi-jones/RCLVatlas (DOI:&nbsp;<a href="https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7702978" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">10.5281/ZENODO.7702978</a>).</p> <p>Version 1 of the dataset (https://simonscmap.com/catalog/datasets/RCLV_atlas; DOI: <a href="https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.8139149" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">10.5281/ZENODO.8139149</a>) only includes contours that represent features of age 32 days or older. Version 2 extends the dataset to include eddy genesis by advecting the particle sets backward-in-time to age 24, 16, and 8 days.</p>

Predictability Limit of the 2021 Pacific Northwest Heatwave from Deep-Learning Sensitivity Analysis

<p>The attached two datasets are the optimized inputs used to analyze predictability limits in the paper Predictability Limit of the 2021 Pacific Northwest Heatwave from Deep-Learning Sensitivity Analysis. Specifically, the datasets correspond to the inputs used to produce the blue (global) and green (regional) loss curves in Figure S2. They are NetCDF files of dimensions batch (1), time (2), latitude (181), longitude (360), pressure levels (13), and may be run as Graphcast model inputs to initiate a forecast at 00 UTC 20 June 2021. Both datasets have been systematically perturbed to reduce the Graphcast model's loss function, which minimizes forecast eror as described in the manuscript. The global input seeks to reduce the loss over the entire globe, while the regional input seeks only to minimize error within the Pacific Northwest (42N to 60N and 130W to 110W). The optimized inputs result in a reduction of the loss by approximately 85% (global) and 93% (regional) when compared to a control Graphcast forecast without perturbations.</p>

Data and Analysis for Kaplanis, Denny, and Raimondi 2024, "Vertical distribution of rocky intertidal organisms shifts with sea-level variability on the Northeast Pacific Coast".

<p>This repository contains all the data and R scripts used to produce all analyses and figures for Kaplanis, Denny, and Raimondi 2024, as well as all intermediate outputs and final figures. To access this content, download and unzip the intertidalvertdist folder (for intertidal vertical distribution). The R Project is titled "intertidalvertdist". All pertinent information needed to access data, replicate the analyses, and produce figures is contained within the README file, but a brief desciption is below.</p> <p><br>Directory Architecture:</p> <p>Data:<br>Contains all data. Within this folder are two subdirectories - Raw Data, and Processed Data. Raw Data are unmanipulated, straight from the data source. Processed Data are outputs from scripted data wrangling and transformations. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Within each of these folders are two more subdirectories: Tide Gauge Data, and MARINe Data. These are the two data sources used in this manuscript - monthly sea-level data from The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services (NOAA CO-OPS) tide gauge stations, and long-term rocky intertidal biological monitoring data from Multi-Agency Rocky Intertidal Network (MARINe) survey sites.</p> <p>Scripts:<br>All R scripts are contained within the Scripts folder. The scripts have the prefix IVD (for intertidal vertical distribution), then a name that indicates the major function of the code. The scripts either downloads data, manipulates data, conducts analyses, and/or produces a figure.</p> <p>Outputs:<br>Any figures and tables from preliminary analyses, but that are not used in the final manuscript, are saved in Outputs.</p> <p>Figures:<br>All final figures and tables are contained in the Figures folder. All figures are produced by scripts, except Figs. 1 and 2, which are schematics produced manually in a graphics editor. This folder contains two other folders: Supplemenatary Figures, and Partial Regression Plots. Partial Regression plots are the same as the final Figures 8-12, except they are grouped by taxa rather than by explanatory variable.</p> <p>Data Processing Workflow - Overview:&nbsp;<br>Tide Gauge Data (Data/Raw Data/Tide Gauge Data/individual stations) were downloaded using the NOAA Co-Ops API URL Builder (https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/api-helper/url-generator.html), merged, then analyzed. Three MARINe data sets from the Coastal Biodiversity Survey (CBS) were accessed via data requests (https://marine.ucsc.edu/explore-the-data/contact/data-request-form.html). The first MARINe dataset (Data/Raw Data/MARINe Data/CBS_Percent Cover Data, both First Sample and Full Sample) was used to determine the top ten most abundant taxa (hereafter termed &ldquo;dominant taxa&rdquo;) across CBS survey sites during the monitoring period of 2001-01-01 to 2021-09-30. The second MARINe dataset (Data/Raw Data/MARINe Data/CBS_Elevation Data) was used to describe the upper limits of vertical distribution of dominant taxa through time. The third MARINe dataset (Data/Raw Data/MARINe Data/CBS_Presence Data) was used to visualize latitudinal distribution of taxa.</p> <p>Location information for Tide Gauge Stations and CBS Survey Sites were assembled into a table (Data/Raw Data/CBS_Tide Gauge_Data.csv)</p> <p>Tide Gauge Data were processed first, then MARINe Data. To replicate this workflow follow the steps described in the README file, in order.</p>

Marine heatwaves statistics for the tropical western and central Pacific Ocean

<p>Processed marine heatwave metrics are provided for the tropical western and central Pacific Ocean region (120&deg;E-140&deg;W, 40&deg;S-15&deg;N). The metrics are computed from daily sea surface temperature (SST) data, from both observations and models. The observed marine heatwave data are calculated from NOAA 0.25&deg; daily Optimum Interpolation Sea Surface Temperature (OISST) over the period 1982-2019. The modelled marine heatwave data are from analysis of 18 model simulations as part of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project, Phase 6 (CMIP6) over the period 1982-2100, where two future scenarios have been analysed. Marine heatwaves are computed with respect to the 1995-2014 climatology.&nbsp;The marine heatwave data are provided on a grid point basis across the domain. Marine heatwave timeseries metrics are also provided for three case study regions: Fiji, Samoa, and Palau.</p>
