Summary
Description
This data set consists of digital polygons of constant recharge rates for the High Plains aquifer in Oklahoma. This area encompasses the panhandle counties of Cimarron, Texas, and Beaver, and the western counties of Harper, Ellis, Woodward, Dewey, and Roger Mills. The High Plains aquifer underlies approximately 7,000 square miles of Oklahoma and is used extensively for irrigation. The High Plains aquifer is a water-table aquifer and consists predominately of the Tertiary-age Ogallala Formation and overlying Quaternary-age alluvial and terrace deposits. In some areas the aquifer is absent and the underlying Triassic, Jurassic, or Cretaceous-age rocks are exposed at the surface. These rocks are hydraulically connected with the aquifer in some areas. The High Plains aquifer is composed of interbedded sand, siltstone, clay, gravel, thin limestones, and caliche. The proportion of various lithological materials changes rapidly from place to place, but poorly sorted sand and gravel predominate. The rocks are poorly to moderately well cemented by calcium carbonate. The High Plains aquifer was divided into an east and west half with each half having an assigned recharge that was used as input to a ground-water flow model on the High Plains aquifer, during the calibration of the steady-state model. The east half was assigned a constant recharge value of 0.45 inches per year and the west half 0.225 inches per year. The polygon boundaries and constant recharge rates were constructed by extracting lines from digital surficial geology data sets based on a scale of 1:125,000 for the panhandle counties and 1:250,000 for the western counties. Some of the lines were digitized from maps in a published water-level elevation map for 1980. Ground-water flow models are numerical representations that simplify and aggregate natural systems. Models are not unique; different combinations of aquifer characteristics may produce similar results. Therefore, values of recharge used in the model and presented in this data set are not precise, but are within a reasonable range when compared to independently collected data.

Description
The Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI) contracted with Watershed Sciences, Inc. to collect high resolution topographic LiDAR data for multiple areas within the State of Oregon. The areas for LiDAR collection have been designed as part of a collaborative effort of state, federal, and local agencies in order to meet a wide range of project goals. This LiDAR data set was collected from June 19 - 21, 2011 and encompasses a portion of Harney County in Oregon. This data set consists of bare earth and unclassified points. The average pulse density is 8.25 pulses per square meter over terrestrial surfaces. The area of interest (AOI) totals 79 square miles (49,083 acres) and the total area flown (TAF) covers 80 square miles (51,401 acres). The TAF acreage is greater than the original AOI acreage due to buffering and flight planning optimization. In some areas of heavy vegetation or forest cover, there may be relatively few ground points in the LiDAR data. Elevation values for open water surfaces are not valid elevation values because few LiDAR points are returned from water surfaces. LiDAR intensity values were also collected.

MODIS (or Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) is a key instrument aboard the Terra (EOS AM) and Aqua (EOS PM) satellites. Terra's orbit around the Earth is timed so that it passes from north to south across the equator in the morning, while Aqua passes south to north over the equator in the afternoon. Terra MODIS and Aqua MODIS are viewing the entire Earth's surface every 1 to 2 days, acquiring data in 36 spectral bands, or groups of wavelengths (see MODIS Technical Specifications). These data will improve our understanding of global dynamics and processes occurring on the land, in the oceans, and in the lower atmosphere. MODIS is playing a vital role in the development of validated, global, interactive Earth system models able to predict global change accurately enough to assist policy makers in making sound decisions concerning the protection of our environment.

<p>Windows in habitable modules represent significant design and operations impacts to future spacecraft, yet viewing requirements, both electronic and passive, continue to mature.&nbsp;&nbsp; With longer missions over greater distances, it becomes harder to accommodate both size and modularity of viewing.&nbsp; The Hybrid Window Portal would allow easier design, more locations for direct viewing,&nbsp; and easier maintenance and represent less of an impact to a vehicle&#39;s structural integrity than traditional windows, and applies to aluminum, composite and inflatable structures.&nbsp; This project intends to build on an on-going IR&amp;D effort and a 2011 ICA investigation of virtual window technology, and will explore options to provide adequate viewing and sensing through arrangements of multiple, small portals that can accommodate cameras and sensors.&nbsp; Smaller portals accommodate more cameras and sensors than ever before, and offer different pointing directions so optimum viewing angles can be selected, while an integrated view (Mosaic Video) provides perspective.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

Summary
Description
MBT data were collected from the USS LOYALTY in support of the Fleet Observations of Oceanographic Data (FLOOD) project. Data were collected by US Navy; Ships of Opportunity from 12 June 1962 to 30 June 1962. The platform was equipped and staffed to observe weather and sea conditions. Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard Universal Bathythermograph Output (UBT) format. Full format description is available from NODC at www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-Archive/bt.html. The UBT file format is used for temperature-depth profile data obtained using the mechanical bathythermograph (MBT) instrument. The maximum depth of MBT observations is approximately 285 m. Therefore, MBT data are useful only in studying the thermal structure of the upper layers of the ocean. Cruise information, date, position, and time are reported for each observation. The data record comprises pairs of temperature-depth values. Temperature data in this file are recorded at uniform 5 m depth intervals.

This dataset show the point locations (as of October 2014), of High Frequency (HF) radar systems across the US. HF radars measure the speed and direction of ocean surface currents in near real time. These radars can measure currents over a large region of the coastal ocean, from a few kilometers offshore up to 200 km, and can operate under any weather conditions. They are located near the water's edge, and need not be situated atop a high point of land. Dozens of institutions own and operate HF radars within the United States, and a majority are coordinated through the US Integrated Ocean Observing System. Ocean surface current data from these radars are shared on national servers -- the National Data Buoy Center and Scripps Institution of Oceanography -- who deliver the data to anyone who needs it.
