This dataset contains the Delft3D model of the Atchafalaya Basin along the Mississippi River Delta (MRD) in coastal Louisiana. Simulations cover the Delta-X Spring and Fall campaigns in 2021 and include hydrodynamics, waves, and sediment transport. Bottom friction was calibrated using AirSWOT water elevation data, while sediment parameters were calibrated using AVIRIS-NG Total Suspended Solids (TSS) data. All files required to run the simulations are included. Model output of water levels, velocity, and depth-averaged sediment concentration are provided for both campaigns as netCDF files. The dataset includes a netCDF file containing the annual inorganic mass accumulation rates derived from simulations.

Contains TGB-04 water and sediment temperature data for northern study area (tower beaver pond site).

This data set provides two estimates of the geographic distribution of the total plant-available soil water storage capacity of the rooting zone ("rooting zone water storage size") on a 1.0 degree global grid. Two inverse modeling methods were used. The first modeling approach (optimization) was based on the assumption that vegetation has adapted to the environment such that it makes optimum use of water (Kleidon and Heimann 1998). The second method (assimilation) was based on the assumption that green vegetation indicates sufficient available water for transpiration (Knorr 1997). The data set was developed to provide alternative means to describe rooting characteristics of the global vegetation cover for land surface and climate models in support of the ISLSCP Initiative II data collection. There are three files in this data set.

The River Carbon Flux data set represents estimates for the riverine export of carbon and of sediments. This data set includes the amounts of carbon and of sediments that are discharged to the oceans by rivers for each coastal grid point which receives river inputs. This data set contains three compressed (*.zip) files: the original data at 2.5 x 2.0 degrees, and global maps at spatial resolutions of 0.5 and 1.0 degree which the ISLSCP II staff has created from the original data.

This data set provides gridded data for selected soil parameters derived from data and methods developed by the Global Soil Data Task, an international collaborative project with the objective of making accurate and appropriate data relating to soil properties accessible to the global change research community. The task was coordinated by the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP-DIS). The data in this data set were produced by the International Satellite Land-Surface Climatology Project, Initiative II (ISLSCP II) staff from data obtained from the Oak Ridge National Laboratory Distributed Active Archive Center (ORNL DAAC, http://daac.ornl.gov/). See the related data sets section below. Two-dimensional gridded maps of selected soil parameters, including soil texture, at a 1.0 by 1.0 degree spatial resolution and for two soil depths are provided. All data layers have been adjusted to match the ISLSCP II land/water mask. There are 36 data files with this data set.

The Continental Atmospheric CO2 Consumption data set represents gridded estimates for the riverine export of carbon and of sediments based on empirical models. All data exist for the overall continental area in a spatial resolution of 0.5 x 0.5 degree longitude/ latitude. The units are tC/km2/yr for all carbon species, and t/km2/yr for sediment fluxes. There are two data files (*.zip) with this data set which describe the following: dissolved organic carbon (DOC) export, particulate organic carbon (POC) export, bicarbonate export, export of bicarbonate being of atmospheric origin (also called atmospheric CO2 consumption by rock weathering), and sediment export.

This data set provides the results of (1) synoptic streamwater sampling and analyses from numerous sites across Rondonia and (2) corresponding watershed characteristics derived from remote sensing and historical/available data sources. Sixty streams, in both forested and non-forested sites, were sampled once during the dry season in August of 1998 and 49 of the same streams were sampled again during the wet season in January-February of 1999. Analyses included sodium (Na), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), potassium (K), silica (Si), chloride (Cl), sulfate, pH, and acid neutralizing capacity. Watershed characteristics, including soil cation content, pH, watershed lithology, area, percent deforested, and urban watershed population density, were derived and calculated from digitized soil maps and available soil profile analyses, digitized topographic maps, land use mosaics from Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) images, and Brazilian census data. The objective of the study was to determine the relative influence of watershed soil exchangeable cation content, rock type, deforestation, and urban population density on stream concentrations of base cations, dissolved silicon, chloride and sulfate in both the dry and wet seasons in a humid tropical region undergoing regional land use transformation. There are three comma-delimited data files with this data set.

This data set reports lake sediment texture and porosity, carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) content of surficial sediments, 210Pb-derived nutrient accumulation rates in sediments, and burial rates of C, N, and P in sediments at eleven locations in Lake Calado, Amazonas, Brazil. Field samples were collected between February 1982 and August 1984. There are eight comma-delimited ASCII data files with this data set.

This data set is an inventory of some 2800 landslides that occurred in the High Mountain Asia (HMA) study area between 5 January 2007 and 31 December 2018 (plus one event from 28 January 1990). The catalog includes dates and locations of landslides, plus additional characteristics such as event triggers, country, length and area of the slide, and the number of injuries and fatalities.

The events in this catalog represent an HMA-specific subset of the Cooperative Open Online Landslide Repository (COOLR), a project that was created to build a more robust, publicly available inventory of landslides by supplementing data in the NASA Global Landslide Catalog with citizen science reports.

This data provides AVIRIS-NG Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) and sunglint-corrected surface spectral reflectance images over the Atchafalaya and Terrebonne basins of the Mississippi River Delta (MRD) of coastal Louisiana, USA. Flights were acquired during the Spring and Fall 2021 deployments of the Delta-X campaign. The imagery was acquired by the Airborne Visible/Infrared Imaging Spectrometer - Next Generation (AVIRIS-NG) from 2021-03-27 to 2021-04-06 and 2021-08-18 to 2021-09-25. Reflectance data are provided as file sets for each flight line. In addition, ten files of mosaicked flight lines, by time period and over four locations (labeled Terre, Atcha, TerreEast, and Bara), are included. Files are presented as compressed (*.zip) files, containing binary ENVI image and header files. Only land pixels were corrected and mask files for the mosaic file coverage showing presence/absence of water are also included. For the Delta-X mission, these data serve to better understand rates of soil erosion, accretion, and creation in the delta system, with the goal of building better models of how river deltas will behave under relative sea level rise.
