We form a new data set of fields of sea level anomalies by combining gridded daily fields derived from altimeter data with coastal tide gauge data. Within approximately 50-80 km of the coast, the altimeter data are discarded and replaced by a linear interpolation between the tide gauge and remaining...
This dataset supports a research project and paper where we define criteria for assessing the effectiveness of data sharing, under the assumption that the goal of data sharing is to make the data usable, with minimal effort, to the new user. We take the position that the bar should be...
Ampelisca eschrichtii are among the most important prey of the Western North Pacific gray whales, Eschrichtius robustus. The largest and densest known populations of this amphipod occur in the gray whale’s Offshore feeding area on the Northeastern Sakhalin Island Shelf. The remote location, ice cover and stormy weather at the...
This dataset contains trace-element data, descriptive information, and photographs for 328 field clays sampled in the Valley of Oaxaca, Mexico; mineralogical data are presented for a subset of the samples. The clay samples were generated as part of a valley-wide sampling strategy designed to capture spatial variation in clay composition...
These data were collected using a survey of a sample of farmers in the Willamette Valley. The objective was to estimate a relationship between the decision to irrigate a field (one with an existing irrigation water right), and factors such as land characteristics, climate, current weather, and market prices. The...
These data were used to estimate the land values that enter into the Land-Use Transitions modeling component of Willamette Envision, the computer model developed by the Willamette Water 2100 Project. The land values were collected for randomly drawn samples of developed, agricultural, and forest land parcels in Benton, Lane, Marion,...
As a result of warming temperatures and subsequently declining snowpacks, forest fires are increasing in frequency, intensity and extent across the western USA. In turn, forest fire disturbance affects patterns of snow accumulation and ablation by reducing canopy interception and modifying the snowpack energy balance. Following a 2011, high severity...
The HIV pandemic continues to impose enormous morbidity, mortality and economic burdens across the globe. Simultaneously, innovations in antiretroviral therapy, diagnostic approaches and vaccine development are providing novel tools for treatment-as-prevention and prophylaxis. We developed a mathematical model to evaluate the added benefit of an HIV vaccine in the context...
Measuring surface fluxes using the surface renewal (SR) method requires a set of programmatic algorithms for tabulation, algebraic calculation, and quality control. Full matlab scripts and functions, example data used in the analysis, and results are included in this data archive. Because the SR method utilizes high frequency (20-100 Hz+)...
This dataset was used to determine the attenuation of an audio signal by reticulated foam samples that span the natural range of intrinsic permeability for seasonal snow. Data are audio measurements acquired on a two-channel oscilloscope.
