Total dissolved nitrogen (TDN), dissolved organic carbon (DOC), radiocarbon (14C-DOC), and stable carbon (13C-DOC) of surface waters from the Canning River watershed, 2019 and 2021

Sites along the Canning River mainstem and contributing streams near the Kavik River Camp, Alaska, were visited to track changes in stream and river total dissolved nitrogen (TDN) concentration, dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentration, and the stable carbon (13C) and radiocarbon (14C) isotopic composition of DOC across transitions between the Brooks Range, Brooks foothills, and Arctic Coastal Plain. The dataset also includes water samples collected from lakes, springs, groundwater, and streams and rivers outside the Canning River watershed. Water samples were collected in late April and early August 2019 and in late July and early August 2021. Data include measurements of individual samples for TDN (milligrams nitrogen per liter), DOC (milligrams carbon per liter), carbon-13 of DOC (reported as delta-13C, per mil), carbon-14 of DOC (reported as fraction modern), and analytical error in the fraction modern values. Additional water chemistry data for these samples can be found in Koch et al. (2024). References: Koch, J. C., Connolly, C. T., Repasch, M., Best, H. R., Couvillion, C. S., Hunt, A. (2024).

Water Depths and Water Temperatures near Soil Surface from Shark River Slough, Everglades National Park (FCE LTER), Florida, USA, October 2000 - ongoing

Water depth (from October 2000 to present) and water temperature (from September 2021 to present) are recorded at least hourly at SRS1c (not active), SRS1d, SRS2, SRS3, SRS4, SRS5, and SRS6. Water depth is measured with pressure water level loggers (Infinities USA or HOBO) that record water height relative to the local soil surface. Water temperature near soil surface is measured with HOBO loggers. Note by IM (2021): The water meters at some of the SRS sites have been moved over the years as boardwalks have been reconstructed. There is no set survey datum for these sites, so it is impossible to correct the data to an actual datum. For hydrologic applications, it may be better to use water level data from USGS stations.

LAGOS-US NETWORKS v1.0: Data module of surface water networks characterizing connections among lakes, streams, and rivers in the conterminous U.S

Knowing the degree of surface water connectivity among aquatic ecosystems can help scientists better understand and predict the movement of materials and biota across ecosystems. Methods to quantify surface water networks that include lake and stream connections at broad spatial scales are rare because it is difficult to balance accurate estimates of surface water connectivity and computational challenges. The LAGOS-US NETWORKS (NETS) module contains surface connectivity metrics for lake networks across the conterminous United States. We applied a graph theory approach to identify lake networks (i.e. a set of lakes connected by streams either upstream, downstream, or both) created from the medium resolution NHD lakes, streams, and rivers and subsequently derive surface water connectivity metrics for lakes and networks. Using this approach, we created a total of 898 networks that include 86,511 lakes. The NETS module includes a table with metrics for connections between lakes (both upstream and downstream), dams, network position, and whole networks. NETS also includes a flow table and bidirectional and unidirectional distance tables that provide the distances between every pair of connected lakes.

Water surface occurrence and recurrence from the article "Amazon's 2023 Drought: Sentinel-1 Reveals Extreme Rio Negro River Contraction"

<p>This data package contains the 10 m spatial resolution occurrence and recurrence water surface masks from the article "Amazon's 2023 Drought: Sentinel-1 Reveals Extreme Rio Negro River Contraction" . These maps have been produced with Sentinel-1 images (10 m) and a Deep Learning method for image segmentation called U-net, methods and data are fully described in the article. Water surface occurrence is computed for the period 2022-2023 and indicates the percentage of time that a pixel is classified as water (100%: always water, 0%: never water, and values between 0 and 100 indicate seasonality). Water surface recurrence is computed for the period 2022-2023 and indicates the number of times that a pixel was classified as a water surface, i.e., 35 indicates that the pixel was classified 35 times as a water surface during the 2022-2023 period. The total size of the dataset is 158 Mo and is distributed in two Geotiffs, one for the water surface occurence and one for the water surface. When using this dataset, please cite the original article <a href="https://doi.org/10.3390/rs16061056">https://doi.org/10.3390/rs16061056</a></p>

Atmospheric Rivers Contribute to Summer Surface Buoyancy Forcing in the Atlantic Sector of the Southern Ocean

<p>These are the Wave glider data used in the analysis and creation of figures in Edholm et al. 2022: <em>Atmospheric Rivers Contribute to Summer Surface Buoyancy Forcing in the Atlantic Sector of the Southern Ocean</em> in support of open-code, transparency, and repeatability.</p> <p>Abstract:</p> <p>Atmospheric rivers (ARs) dominate moisture transport globally; however, it is unknown what impact ARs have on surface ocean buoyancy. This study explores the surface buoyancy gained by ARs using high-resolution surface observations from a Wave Glider deployed in the subpolar Southern Ocean (54&deg;S, 0&deg;E) between 19 December 2018 and 12 February 2019 (55&nbsp;days). When ARs combine with storms, the associated precipitation is significantly enhanced (189%). In addition, the daily accumulation of AR-induced precipitation provides a buoyancy gain to the surface ocean equivalent to warming by surface heat fluxes. Over the 55&nbsp;days, ARs accounted for 47% of the total precipitation equating to 10% of the summer surface ocean buoyancy gain. This study indicates that ARs play an important role in the summer precipitation over the subpolar Southern Ocean and that they can alter the upper-ocean buoyancy budget from synoptic to seasonal timescales.</p>

There are three SQLite databases containing 30-s averaged 3-m wind speed, wind direction, and wind gust data from 30-90 cup-and-vane anemometers over a period of 2-4 months at each field site.</p>

Burned soil surface radiocarbon values for moss macrofossils plucked from the Anaktuvuk River Fire sites

We used radiocarbon dating of the organic soil surface remaining post-fire to examine whether the fire burned into ancient and likely irreplaceable soil C pools. Suprisingly, it did not; all radiocarbon dates from burned soil surfaces contained bomb carbon, setting the maximum age of the burned soil surfaces at ~50 years.

Yukon River Basin Fire and Permafrost Study: Elevation of soil surface and permafrost table along transects with different fire disturbance regimes (2009-2012)

Two 100 - 200 m transects were established on hilly loess deposits in the Yukon Flats near Boot Lake to monitor annual changes in the permafrost table and thaw settlement under different fire disturbance regimes. One was located in an area that burned around 1925; the other transect was located in a 2009 burn. Both transects were partially affected by a fire in 1967. This dataset includes the elevations of the ground surface, permafrost surface, water table, and surface organic thickness measurements. Note that there was compaction of the organic layer due to human disturbance along the portion of the transect that burned in only 1925. These transects are associated with the burned and unburned silty upland sites detailed in related datasets.
