US Department of Agriculture Soil Climate Analysis Network (SCAN) site 2022 data, Fort Reno, #1, Canadian County, Oklahoma

NAL Geospatial Catalog
    This dataset contains air temperature, relative humidity, precipitation, solar radiation, wind speed, soil temperature, and soil moisture data from the Soil Climate Analysis Network (SCAN) site 2022, "Fort Reno #1," located in Canadian County, Oklahoma. The dataset links to a National Resources Conservation Service data request form, from which available data can be queried. The data collection site is at an elevation of 1400 feet; data has been continuously collected there since 1998-11-12.

    Walnut Gulch Experimental Watershed, Arizona (Runoff)

    NAL Geospatial Catalog
      The Walnut Gulch Experimental Watershed (WGEW) runoff database has the longest period of record of runoff in the world for a semiarid location, with data collection beginning in 1953. Runoff occurs at Walnut Gulch primarily as a result of convective thunderstorms during the months of July through September. Runoff volume and flow duration are correlated with drainage area as a result of the limited areal extent of runoff producing rainfall and transmission losses or infiltration of the flood wave into the channel alluvium.

      Data from: Runoff Water Quantity and Quality Data from Native Tallgrass Prairie and Crop-livestock Systems in Oklahoma between 1977 and 1999

        Historic data from the Water Resources and Erosion (WRE) watersheds at Grazinglands Research Laboratory (GRL), USDA-ARS, El Reno, OK. The WRE watersheds are eight 1.6 ha experimental watersheds established and instrumented in 1976 to measure precipitation and surface runoff quantity and quality. Data was collected from 1977 through 1999 and includes precipitation, runoff, sediment loads, water quality (N, P, suspended sediments), and land management data.

        Conservation Practice Effectiveness (CoPE) Database

          This database presents a compilation of data on the effectiveness of innovative practices developed to treat contaminants in surface runoff and tile drainage water from agricultural landscapes. Traditional conservation practices such as no-tillage and conservation crop rotation are included in the database, as well as novel practices such as drainage water management, blind inlets, and denitrification bioreactors.
