GIS shapefile and related summary data describing irrigated agricultural land use for Lake, Marion, and Orange Counties, Florida for 2020

A Geographic Information System (GIS) shapefile and summary tables of irrigated agricultural land-use are provided for Lake, Marion, and Orange Counties, Florida compiled through a cooperative project between the U.S Geological Survey and the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Office of Agricultural Water Policy. Information provided in the shapefile includes the location of

Evapotranspiration Data within Blue Cypress Marsh, Vero Beach, Florida, 2021

The dataset includes a table in comma delimited format of daily evapotranspiration (ET) from 1/1/2021 to 12/31/2021 from an ET station within the Blue Cypress Marsh Conservation Area, near Vero Beach, Florida. Evapotranspiration was estimated using eddy-covariance methods and missing sub-daily (30-minute) and daily ET records were gap-filled with a version of the Turc equation (Trajkovic and Kolak

Seawater chemistry and physical property profiling using CDT casts above two seafloor pockmarks on the Miami Terrace offshore of southeastern Florida, 2016

In the Atlantic Ocean and above the Miami Terrace off southeastern Florida, a total of nine CTD (conductivity, temperature, and depth) casts were performed using the 115-foot Research Vessel (R/V) Weatherbird II above the submerged Miami Terrace at the Miami pockmark and Key Biscayne pockmark from May 4 to May 8, 2016. A CTD is a package of electronic instruments and sampling devices that measure

Data for the Comparison of Computed Flow Through Manually Operated Water Control Structures Using Theoretical Versus Calibrated Coefficients

Discharge through 13 water control structures in Florida was calculated using theoretical equations and coefficients and compared to USGS-published discharge from October 1, 2007 to September 30, 2019. The two daily mean discharges were not compared for any values below 10 cubic feet per second or if (1) any alterations were made to the published discharge to account for factors such as debris or

Radiometer data from LZ40 in Lake Okeechobee, Florida, 2021

A four-component (incoming and outgoing shortwave and longwave radiation) radiometer (model CNR1) was installed on a monitoring station (LZ40) constructed by the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) in the approximate center of Lake Okeechobee in Florida, located at 26 degrees 54 minutes 06.254 seconds North, 080 degrees 47 minutes 21.301 seconds West. Specific time-series collected for

MODFLOW simulator used to assess groundwater flow for the Whiting Field Naval Air Station, Milton FL

The study of Whiting Field Naval Air Station, Milton Florida requires numerical modeling of the groundwater system to determine the fate of contaminants released at the air station in previous decades. The MODFLOW-NWT modeling code (Niswonger and others, 2011) was applied for this purpose with field data defining a number of inputs including aquifer properties and timeseries. Lithologic logs were

Water Velocity Mapping of the L-67C Canal in support of the Decompartmentalization Physical Model (DPM)

The primary goal of the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan is to restore natural water flow through the Everglades. An approach known as decompartmentalization, which involves the removal of levees, canals, and other barriers to flow, has been suggested to aid in the restoration. In the region known as Water Conservation Area 3 (WCA-3), the L-67A and L-67C canals and levees, which bisect WC

GIS shapefile and related summary data describing irrigated agricultural land use in Broward and Miami-Dade Counties, Florida for 2019

A Geographic Information System (GIS)? shapefile and summary tables of irrigated agricultural land-use are provided for Broward and Miami-Dade Counties, Florida compiled through a cooperative project between the U.S Geological Survey and the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Office of Agricultural Water Policy. Information provided in the shapefile includes the locations in

Data Files for the Development of Regression Equations for the Estimation of the Magnitude and Frequency of Floods at Rural, Unregulated Gaged and Ungaged Streams in Puerto Rico through Water Year 2017 (ver. 1.1, September 2021)

Estimates of the magnitude of peak-flows were updated for the 50-, 20-, 10-, 4-, 2-, 1-, 0.5-, and 0.2-percent chance exceedance levels for 91 rural, unregulated streamgaging stations on the main island of Puerto Rico. These stations required 10 or more years of annual peak-flow record, using data to 2017, for inclusion in the study. The magnitude and frequency of floods at selected streamgages in

Evapotranspiration at the Clewiston Marsh Platform, Lake Okeechobee, Florida, June 15, 2017 - January 21, 2020

The dataset includes a table in comma delimited format of daily evapotranspiration (ET) from 6/15/2017 to 1/21/2020 from an ET station in wetlands along the western perimeter of Lake Okeechobee, near Clewiston, Florida. The dominant plant cover at the study site is sawgrass (Cladium jamaicense) with secondary amounts of cattails and open water surfaces such as canals for boat navigation. Sawgrass

Evapotranspiration within Blue Cypress Marsh, Indian River County, Florida, 2018 to 2020

The dataset includes a table in comma delimited format of daily evapotranspiration (ET) from 6/14/2018 to 12/31/2020 from an ET station within the Blue Cypress Marsh Conservation Area, within Indian River County, Florida. Evapotranspiration was estimated using eddy-covariance methods and missing records were gap-filled with a version of the Turc equation (Trajkovic and Kolakovic, 2009) that was re

Evaporation at LZ40 Platform, Lake Okeechobee, Palm Beach County, Florida, January 1, 2020 - December 31, 2020

Daily measurements of evaporation using the Bowen ratio method were made at USGS station name LZ40 (USGS site number 265405080472100), a platform-based station constructed by the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) at the approximate center of Lake Okeechobee, Florida. Meteorological and environmental variables were measured every 30 seconds and averaged at 15-minute resolution, includ
