The Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM) is a data-assimilative hybrid isopycnal-sigma-pressure (generalized) coordinate ocean model. The subset of HYCOM data hosted in EE contains the variables salinity, temperature, velocity, and elevation. They have been interpolated to a uniform 0.08 degree lat/long grid between 80.48°S and 80.48°N. The salinity, temperature, and velocity variables have been interpolated to 40 standard z-levels.

Pacific Ocean Weather Data captured by NOAA Buoys. The TAO array (renamed the TAO/TRITON array on 1 January 2000) consists of approximately 70 moorings in the Tropical Pacific Ocean, telemetering oceanographic and meteorological data to shore in real-time via the Argos satellite system. The array is a major component of the El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) Observing System, the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS) and the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS). Support is provided primarily by the United States (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) and Japan (Japan Agency for Marine-earth Science and TEChnology) with additional contributions from France (Institut de recherche pour le developpement).

Access to adequate supplies of fresh water is becoming an increasingly critical issue in many parts of the world. In arid regions of the southwestern United States, diminishing water supplies and extended periods of drought have generated an interest in non-traditional water resources, and the development of new technologies such as desalination of brackish water to exploit those resources. New Mexico has limited supplies of fresh water, but over the last century there have been claims that the state has very large reserves of brackish groundwater (e.g., Hood and Kister, 1962; McLean, 1970). However, our knowledge of the quality and volume of these brackish water resources varies significantly across the state. Some aquifers and groundwater basins in more densely populated areas have been very thoroughly investigated by multiple individuals and agencies over time periods of years or decades. Despite this foundation of pre-existing research, our knowledge of the distribution of brackish groundwater in many aquifers in New Mexico is often poorly constrained.
From 2010 to 2015, box core grabs were collected at permanent stations around the Pacific Marine Energy Center - North Energy Test Site (PMEC-NETS) off Newport, Oregon. At each box core station a conductivity, temperature, depth (CTD) cast was conducted. These data include the CTD from the bottom of the cast, sediment grain size analysis, total organic carbon and nitrogen analysis (for the first 3 years only) and macrofaunal organism abundances as retained on a 1 mm mesh sieve. From 2012 to 2015, additional box core grabs were collected around two of the anchors deployed at PMEC-NETS to assess potential changes to sediment conditions and/or organism abundances. From 2013 to 2015, box core samples also were collected in and around the South Energy Test Site (PMEC-SETS). The CTD, grain size, and organism abundances are included. Additionally from 2010 to 2015 beam trawls were conducted at 9 stations (a subset of the box core stations) around PMEC-NETS and CTD casts were conducted before the start of each trawl. Again the CTD data from the bottom of the cast are included. Organism data are fish densities based on the estimated number of meters covered by the trawl. No trawls were conducted at PMEC-SETS.

In the early 1970’s, it was determined that the most feasible way to reclaim lands disturbed by coal surface mining in the Northern Great Plains region was through the respreading of salvaged soil. In 1974, scientists at the Northern Great Plains Research Laboratory of the Agricultural Research Service -- U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA-ARS) initiated two experiments designed to determine the thicknesses of respread soil necessary to restore productivity to difficult-to-reclaim sodic minespoils in central North Dakota (ND). In both experiments, motorscraper and other earthmoving equipment was used to construct wedge-shaped masses of subsoil materials over leveled minespoils and then to cover these with uniform thicknesses of topsoil material. Topsoil consisted of predominately A horizon material from Haplustoll soils, and subsoil consisted of B and C horizon material. In one experiment near the town of Stanton ND, a subsoil wedge was constructed on leveled minespoil and consisted of 12 long contiguous blocks of material (which were the main plots), three replications of four topsoil thickness treatments. For each replication, three of the main treatment blocks consisted of subsoil material, and one was a 3:1 subsoil – topsoil mix. The topsoil treatments consisted of no topsoil, 20 cm, 60 cm, and no topsoil on the mixed soil block. Each main treatment block was split into four long strips and seeded to crops of alfalfa, crested wheatgrass, spring wheat, and warm-season grass mix. The wedge was 240 m long, 65 m wide, and 2.1 m high at the summit. In another experiment near the town of Zap ND, a double subsoil wedge was constructed on leveled minespoil and consisted of six long contiguous blocks of material (which were the main plots), two replications on each side of the wedge, for a total of four replications with three subsoil quality treatments. The subsoils varied in soil texture, salinity and sodicity. The wedge was covered with a uniform 20 cm thickness of topsoil. Each main treatment block was split into four long strips and seeded to the same crops as the Stanton site with the exception of warm-season grass mix, which was replaced with Russian wildrye. The double wedge was 124 m long, and about 50 m from each toe to summit for a total width of 102 m and was 2.1 m high at the summit.

Web Soil Survey (WSS) provides soil data and information produced by the National Cooperative Soil Survey. It is operated by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and provides access to the largest natural resource information system in the world. NRCS has soil maps and data available online for more than 95 percent of the nation’s counties and anticipates having 100 percent in the near future. The site is updated and maintained online as the single authoritative source of soil survey information.
WASUIT is a computer program which predicts the Salinity Sodicity Toxic-solute concentration of the soil-water within a simulated crop root zone resulting from the use of a particular irrigation water of given composition and at a specified leaching fraction. It can be used to evaluate the effect of a given salinity level (or solute concentration) on crop yield and of a given sodicity level on soil permeability. System Requirements: WATSUIT is written in Standard FORTRAN 77 and requires ANSI.SYS installed in your CONFIG.SYS file (i.e., DEVICE=C:\DOS\ANSI.SYS). The ANSI.SYS screen commands are used to clear your computer screen. If for some reason you do not have ANSI.SYS, the program will still run but will not your screen will not be cleared. MS-DOS 2.0 or later operating system and standard IBM 360 or 1.2 kbytes diskette drives are required.
