Annual End-of-Summer Snow Cover on Glaciers in Alaska and Northwest Canada This dataset contains observations of the distribution of end-of-summer snow cover on approximately 3000 glaciers across Alaska and Northwest Canada. The data are provided as: (1) GeoTIFF rasters indicating the spatial extent of end-of-summer snow cover on each glacier's surface in each year (one raster per glacier per year), and (2) yearly tables with the equilibrium line altitude and the accumulation area ratio of the glaciers derived from the snow cover extent geotiffs. Snow cover was identified in Sentinel-2 imagery using a random forest algorithm trained with a manually-created validation dataset. A series of post-processing steps were used to infill missing data from terrain shadowing and cloud cover, and...

As part of this effort, repeat channel cross section surveys, or channel soundings, have been collected at either the upstream or downstream side of bridges on an annual or as needed basis. Streambed and bank elevations are measured using USGS sounding weights and reels, weighted measuring tapes, acoustic Doppler current profilers, multibeam echo sounders and light detection and ranging and are referenced to the datum of as-built plan set to provide context for the streambed elevations in relation to bridge structures....

The data consist of a table providing information about the type of streamflow available for the site, site special conditions related to the timing of data collection, basin special conditions related to drainage area and urbanization, and a summary of water years for daily mean streamflow and annual peak streamflow affected by regulation or outburst flooding. The data were compiled using peak-streamflow codes assigned in the USGS National Water Information System (NWIS; https://doi.org/10.5066/F7P55KJN),...
