The Marine Mammal Laboratories' California Current Ecosystem Program (AFSC/NOAA) in collaboration with Point Blue Conservation Science initiated long-term studies to determine pup abundance of the California Stock of northern fur seals. The California Stock is comprised of northern fur seals inhabiting San Miguel Island (and Castle Rock, and islet ~1 km northwest) and the Farallon Islands (specifically, Southeast Island) off California. Pup production is the sum of the numbers of live pups and dead pups for a given pupping season.

Marine sediment and water column samples were collected in nearshore habitats around the island of St. John, USVI during two sampling trips in late 2021 and early 2022 and following the landfall of two Category 5 hurricanes, Irma (landfall 2017-09-06) and Maria (landfall 2017-09-20). Marine sediment samples were analyzed for trace metals, organochlorine pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) compounds, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), butyltins, pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCP) and biological (Clostridium perfringens) contaminants.

Daily maximum and minimum air temperature data were obtained from the Global Historical Climatology Network daily (GHCNd, Menne, et al. 2012) and the Great Lakes Air Temperature/Degree Day Climatology, 1897-1983 (Assel et al. 1995). Daily air temperature was calculated by taking a simple average of daily maximum and minimum air temperature.

In 2024, the R/V Mirai conducted hydrographic survey in the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas. This dataset includes preliminary data of R/V Mirai 2024 Arctic cruise. Data and readme file were contained in the same directory.
Some data or sample are still under processing and analyzing. We would like to update them when we have done processing and analyzing. This dataset is U.S. State Department MSR U2024-006 as part of the World Data Service for Oceanography and Geophysics. Cruise data are available from the JAMSTEC DARWIN portal (see the Documentation).

The system records in-situ water quality data at a depth of 26 feet, including temperature, salinity, turbidity, backscatter, PAR (Photosynthetically Active Radiation), and currents, among other parameters. Additionally, climate data is collected at the surface, which includes wind, pressure, and PAR. This data is continuously gathered from a buoy located in Port Everglades, Florida, covering both the sea surface and the seafloor.

This dataset is comprised of many biochemical analyses performed throughout the course of a 90-day laboratory exposure experiments to determine the chronic effects of fine-sediment generated turbidity on the health of Orbicella faveolata coral nubbins. Biological endpoints such as photographs, buoyant weight and PAM fluorometry measurements were performed weekly, while tissue regeneration post-wounding, dry weight, total lipids, total proteins, and symbiont density were calculated at the end of the 90 day exposure.

From fall 2021 through summer 2023, NOAA and research partners conducted a field study (SPLASH - the Study of Precipitation, the Lower Atmosphere and Surface for Hydrometeorology). This field study established a state-of-the-art observing network in the East River watershed of the Colorado mountains with a goal of advancing weather and water prediction capabilities in areas with complex terrain. The ultimate goal of this project is improved prediction of weather and water in the Colorado mountains and beyond to inform societal preparedness and response.

The Thermal Springs List for the United States contains data from 1661 hot springs in the continental U.S., Hawaii, and Alaska. The content has not been updated since its initial publication in 1980.

Depth profiles of phytoplankton community composition collected from a small boat in western Lake Erie in the Great Lakes region from 2017-03-23 to 2022-10-24. These data were collected during repeated trips to a set of stations before, during, and after harmful algal blooms (HABs) using a Fluoroprobe (bbe Moldaenke, GmbH) with factory calibration. Data for the following parameters are included: date and time, green algae, blue-green algae, diatom, cryptophyta, and total chlorophyll concentrations, yellow substances, transmission, depth, and temperature.

The U.S. Earthquake Intensity Database (1638–1985) is a collection of damage and felt reports for more than 23,000 U.S. earthquakes. The database contains information regarding epicentral coordinates, magnitudes, focal depths, names, and coordinates of reporting cities/ localities, reported intensities, and the distances to the epicenter. Earthquakes listed in the file date from 1638 to 1985. The majority of the felt reports are in the U.S. States and Territories (155,301).
