Spatial variability in water chemistry of four Wisconsin aquatic ecosystems - High speed limnology Environmental Science and Technology datasets

Advanced sensor technology is widely used in aquatic monitoring and research. Most applications focus on temporal variability, whereas spatial variability has been challenging to document. We assess the capability of water chemistry sensors embedded in a high-speed water intake system to document spatial variability. We developed a new sensor platform to continuously samples surface water at a range of speeds (0 to > 45 km hr-1) resulting in high-density, meso-scale spatial data. Here, we archive data associated with an Environmental Science and Technology publication. Data include a single spatial survey of the following aquatic ecosystems: Lake Mendota, Allequash Creek, Pool 8 of the Upper Mississippi River, and Trout Bog. Data have been provided in three formats (raw, hydraulic-corrected, and tau-corrected).

LamaH-CE: LArge-SaMple DAta for Hydrology and Environmental Sciences for Central Europe – files

<p><strong>Version 1.0 - This version is the final revised one.</strong></p> <p>This is the LamaH-CE dataset accompanying the paper: Klingler et al., LamaH-CE | LArge-SaMple DAta for Hydrology and Environmental Sciences for Central Europe, published at Earth System Science Data (ESSD), 2021 (<a href="https://doi.org/10.5194/essd-13-4529-2021">https://doi.org/10.5194/essd-13-4529-2021</a>).</p> <p>LamaH-CE contains a collection of runoff and meteorological time series as well as various (catchment) attributes for 859 gauged basins. The hydrometeorological time series are provided with daily and hourly time resolution including quality flags. All meteorological and the majority of runoff time series cover a span of over 35 years, which enables long-term analyses with high temporal resolution.<br> LamaH is in its basics quite sililar to the well-known CAMELS datasets for the contiguous United States (<a href="https://doi.org/10.5194/hess-21-5293-2017">https://doi.org/10.5194/hess-21-5293-2017</a>), Chile (<a href="https://doi.org/10.5194/hess-22-5817-2018">https://doi.org/10.5194/hess-22-5817-2018</a>), Brazil (<a href="https://doi.org/10.5194/essd-12-2075-2020">https://doi.org/10.5194/essd-12-2075-2020</a>), Great Britain (<a href="https://doi.org/10.5194/essd-12-2459-2020">https://doi.org/10.5194/essd-12-2459-2020</a>) and Australia (<a href="https://doi.org/10.5194/essd-13-3847-2021">https://doi.org/10.5194/essd-13-3847-2021</a>), but new features like additional basin delineations (intermediate catchments) and attributes allow to consider the hydrological network and river topology in further applications.</p> <p>We provide two different files to download: 1) Hydrometeorological time series with daily and hourly resolution, which requires decompressed about 70 GB of free disk space. 2) Hydrometeorological time series only with daily resolution, which requires 5 GB. Beyond the temporal resolution of the time series, there are no differences.</p> <p><strong>Note: </strong>It is recommended to read the supplementary info file before using the dataset.

Return on Investment Metrics for Data Repositories in Earth and Environmental Sciences

Despite a growing recognition of the importance of data to the economy and to science, investment in repositories to manage and disseminate that data in easily accessible and understandable ways is scarce. Keeping repository services active and up-to-date for a long time period is difficult due to this funding situation. As a result, repositories must continually provide proof of their value, their Return on Investment (ROI) to their sponsors; yet doing so has always been difficult, problematic and not always successful. In this work, an analysis of approaches for assessing the ROI of several scientific data repositories has identified various techniques that repositories use to report on the impact and value of their data products and services. A survey of selected repositories rated the set of metrics identified and rated each by its importance as well as the ease with which the metric could be measured. The discussion is broken down into considerations for calculating costs, perceived value of repositories and suggested metrics that would allow a repository to calculate an ROI. The authors, representatives of environmental data repositories, concluded that easily obtainable data use metrics, such as data downloads, etc., have limited value while more informative analyses would require additional resources.

Benefits and limitations of environmental magnetism for completing citizen science on air quality: a case study in a street canyon.

<p>Inside a street canyon in Montpellier (France) a total of 72 deposimeters were deployed in 29 households for a period of 3 months to measure local air quality. This street canyon was chosen because dwellers were already mobilized&nbsp;against the street traffic, and because&nbsp;they were in conflict on this issue with policy makers. The project aimed to include all the stakeholders through co-construction. The closure of the street during the metrological campaign and the absence of agreement curbed their involvement and motivation. However, the feedbacks from the citizen partners promote the fact that this study supported their claims and brought them a deeper understanding on the micro-scale air quality monitoring. Indeed, it is increasingly difficult for citizens, who seemed specifically interested in what is happening right outside their front door, to understand this measure with the emergence of ever more low-cost sensors. For that reason, we examined the citizen&rsquo;s degree of confidence in magnetic monitoring of air quality and how can this technique be useful in their claims. The results show that magnetism can be a measurement technique favorable to citizen participation because it provides&nbsp;a large amount of data at the micro-scale of the street level, while the data from the certified associations for monitoring air quality requires a spatial interpolation to map variations on a neighborhood scale. In this study, we proposed a magnetic air quality index to standardize and democratize the magnetic monitoring of air quality to facilitate the dialogue with all stakeholders.</p>

Small mammals surveys, 1981 - 1996, Adirondack Long-Term Ecological Monitoring Program Project No. 10 by Adirondack Ecological Center of the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry, Newcomb, New York. Environmental Data Initiative

Small mammals are important in forested ecosystems: they are key predators on seeds and invertebrates, provide food for larger predators and act as disease vectors. The objective of this study was to document small mammal abundance and population changes in managed and unmanaged forests of Huntington Wildlife Forest (HWF). Seven sites were sampled from 1981-1996. Fifty traps per site (250 total) were deployed for 4 nights and checked in the mornings. All captured small mammals were identified, sexed, weighed, and measured for reproductive condition, tagged, and brought into the lab for processing. Females with embryos or placental scars were noted in the lab. Over a five-year period, 671 deer mice; 261 woodland jumping mice, 594 southern redbacked voles, 248 short-tailed shrews, 373 masked shrews, 75 smoky shrews and small numbers of other species were captured and sexed/aged. According to Prachar and Sage (1988), weights of deer mice, redbacked voles, woodland jumping mice, short-tailed shrews, masked shrews and smoky shrews differed among years and age classes for 1983-1987. Weights differed between sexes for mice and voles but not shrews. Placental scar/embryo counts of mice and voles did not differ among years, habitats, mammal age classes or sexes. Reproductive rates of shrews exhibited patterns of fluctuation from 1983-1987.

Songbird surveys , 1952 - 1964, 1983 - 2008 Adirondack Long-Term Ecological Monitoring Program Project No. 2 Breeding Birds by Adirondack Ecological Center of the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry, Newcomb, New York. Environmental Data Initiative.

Study objectives were to (1) Document long-term trends in relative abundance and diversity of breeding forest birds (songbirds) in forest stands with different harvest histories and (2) Identify bird species that can be used as indicators of habitat change or degradation. Declines in neotropical migrants have been linked to changes in habitat quantity and quality across species' range. Songbirds that nest and forage in different habitat types or at different heights in the forest canopy may not be affected equally by forest change or management. We detected breeding songbirds using point-counts at Huntington Wildlife Forest (HWF) in the central Adirondack Mountains of New York during 1983-2000 and modeled on an original songbird point count dataset from Webb et al. (1977). Relative abundance (RA, the number of individual birds/count) was measured in sites with differing management histories, from an unmanaged >300-year-old stand to a stand cut with the shelterwood/overstory removal method just prior to sampling in 1983). Over eighty bird species were detected during the study duration. Songbird ecology and habitat characteristics can be used to understand long-term changes in relative abundance as related to forest change.

Data from: Designing data science workshops for data-intensive environmental science research

<p>Over the last 20 years, statistics preparation has become vital for a broad range of scientific fields, and statistics coursework has been readily incorporated into undergraduate and graduate programs. However, a gap remains between the computational skills taught in statistics service courses and those required for the use of statistics in scientific research. Ten years after the publication of "Computing in the Statistics Curriculum,'' the nature of statistics continues to change, and computing skills are more necessary than ever for modern scientific researchers. In this paper, we describe research on the design and implementation of a suite of data science workshops for environmental science graduate students, providing students with the skills necessary to retrieve, view, wrangle, visualize, and analyze their data using reproducible tools. These workshops help to bridge the gap between the computing skills necessary for scientific research and the computing skills with which students leave their statistics service courses. Moreover, though targeted to environmental science graduate students, these workshops are open to the larger academic community. As such, they promote the continued learning of the computational tools necessary for working with data, and provide resources for incorporating data science into the classroom.</p>
