This report summarizes the data collected by the Illinois State Water Survey from the Ohio River to determine the physical impacts of navigation. The Louisville District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers initiated the field project on the Ohio River in which various physical, chemical, and biological data were collected in connection with the movement of tows with barges. The Illinois State Water Survey participated in the collection of physical data with respect to barge traffic. Barges with tows of varying horsepower were rented by the Corps of Engineers and navigated up and down the Ohio River at predetermined frequencies at the test site. This experimental river traffic was controlled as to speed, direction,...
In March 1988 the Long Term Resource Monitoring Program requested that scopes of work be developed for three problems: sedimentation, navigation effects, and water level fluctuations. After consultations with two prominent plant ecologists, Dr. John Barko, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Environmental Laboratory, and Dr. John Titus, Southern University of New York, a scope of work was prepared outlining a study to determine concentrations of suspended solids limiting aquatic plant growth on the Upper Mississippi River. All work tasks were then prioritized by the Long Term Resource Monitoring Program's Problem Solving Work Group. This scope of work was recommended for funding, however, the timeframe for initiation of...

The first Annual Report of the Long Term Resource Monitoring Program for the Upper Mississippi River System covers the period from September, 1986 through January 1989. The report includes: program activities information concerning cooperation between member states and agencies; a summary of the past year's data collection effort for water quality; deviations from the Operating Plan; critical paths and funding requirements through 1999; plans for the coming year, and; management of the Environmental Management Technical Center. Technical Center Staff are divided between Ecology and the Computerized River Information Center. Ecology is responsible for the analysis of significant resource problems and for long term...
Physical attributes of 97 streams in the Midwestern US characterizing sediment supply, sediment transport capacity, and stream bed material. Attributes include basin characteristics compiled with geographic information system and statistical summaries of field measurements of channel form, bed material, and suspended sediment. Data were used by Konrad and Gellis, 'Factors influencing fine sediment on stream bed in the Midwestern US' (manuscript in review) to develop regression models of fine sediment in Midwestern streams.

During the fall of 1989, a pilot study was conducted to evaluate the potential of a submersible water quality monitoring system for use in backwater areas of the Upper Mississippi River. Between September 8 and October 27, 1989 continuous monitoring units developed by W. G. Crumpton and associates at Iowa State University were deployed at a single Long Term Resource Monitoring Program water and sediment monitoring site on Pool 8, of the Upper Mississippi River. The units were used to monitor dissolved oxygen and temperature at a single depth and light at the surface and two subsurface depths throughout this period. Dissolved oxygen and temperature measurements were taken twice weekly at this site by Long Term Resource...
OpenET uses best available science to provide easily accessible satellite-based estimates of evapotranspiration (ET) for improved water management across the western United States. Using the Data Explorer, users can explore ET data at the field scale for millions of individual fields or at the original quarter-acre resolution of the satellite data. The SSEBop ET data is part of the ensemble dataset and can be viewed at the website.

The Second Annual Report of the Long Term Resource Monitoring Program for the Upper Mississippi River System covers the period from January through December 1989. The report summarizes program activities; information concerning cooperation between member states and agencies; program management information concerning staffing and budgeting; variances from the Annual Work Plan and task scheduling for current and future fiscal years. Environmental Management Center and Field Station operations are described and accomplishments for the year are summarized. A listing of completed publications is provided.
Grids of principal component gradients and varimax-rotated components 1 & 2 for the extent of the GNLCC study area saved as asciis with a 2km resolution. PC1 and RC1 represent a latitudinal gradient of temperature, while PC2 and RC2 represent a longitudinal gradient of precipitation seasonality and continentality.These grids are saved in in the Albers Equal Area Conic projection. A principal component analysis of the study area was conducted using 12 climate variables. These grids represent site scores for principal components 1 & 2. Following the PCA, variable loadings were rotated using a varimax rotation, and new rotated site scores were developed. While these rotated components are interpretable they do not...

Background materials were compiled to determine what is currently known about barge fleeting on the Upper Mississippi River System. Background materials included available literature, contacts with professionals, permit information, regulatory statutes and a review of current aerial photography. Field investigations were conducted in an attempt to examine most of the fleeting areas on the Upper Mississippi and the Illinois rivers. Method of anchoring barges, distance to shore, water depths, substrate and shoreline composition, erosion, and any tree damage were noted. Fleeting areas were all located close to terminals. Barges were moored as close to the shore as water depths permitted. Trees were most often used...
Note: this data release has been depecrated. Find the updated version here: https://doi.org/10.5066/P9FJCM8N. The Skykomish and Snoqualmie River basins in western Washington provide spawning, rearing, and migration habitat for several salmonid species, including Endangered Species Act-listed Chinook salmon, steelhead trout, and bull trout. The production, abundance, distribution, and the health of fish and other aquatic life is strongly influenced by water temperature, which affects their physiology and behavior. The Washington State Department of Ecology establishes water temperature criteria and Total Maximum Daily Load standards for designated aquatic life uses, varying between 12 and 17.5 degrees Celsius, depending...
