Summary
This U.S. Geological Survey data release consists of a polygon geospatial dataset representing estimated flood-inundation areas in Grapevine Canyon near Scotty's Castle, Death Valley National Park, and the data acquired and processed to support the delineation of those areas. Supporting datasets include topographic survey data collected by global navigation satellite system (GNSS) and terrestrial laser scanner (TLS) in Grapevine Canyon from July 12-14, 2016; derivatives of those data; pebble count data collected in Grapevine Canyon; and an archive of the one-dimensional hydraulic model used to generate the flood-inundation area polygons. Specifically: 1)a point dataset of four static reference locations (StaticGNSS_x) collected by [...]
Summary
This U.S. Geological Survey data release consists of a polygon geospatial dataset representing estimated flood-inundation areas in Grapevine Canyon near Scotty's Castle, Death Valley National Park, and the data acquired and processed to support the delineation of those areas. Supporting datasets include topographic survey data collected by global navigation satellite system (GNSS) and terrestrial laser scanner (TLS) in Grapevine Canyon from July 12-14, 2016; derivatives of those data; pebble count data collected in Grapevine Canyon; and an archive of the one-dimensional hydraulic model used to generate the flood-inundation area polygons. Specifically: 1)a point dataset of four static reference locations (StaticGNSS_x) collected by single-baseline Online Positioning User Service – Static (OPUS-S) GNSS surveys; 2)a point dataset of 38 TLS survey scan locations (ScanOrigins_x) collected by real-time kinematic (RTK) GNSS surveys; 3)a zip file of 42 point cloud files (GrapevineCanyon_LAZ.zip) collected at 38 scan locations by TLS surveys; 4)a point dataset of 769 ground control points (GroundControlPts_x) collected by RTK GNSS surveys; 5)a point dataset of filtered ground observations (TLS_FilteredGroundObs_x) from the TLS surveys; 6)a polygon dataset of the areas used to filter the ground observations (TLS_Filter_p); 7)a digital terrain model (GrapevineCanyon_TIN.zip) derived from the filtered ground observations as a triangulated irregular network (TIN) in North American Vertical Datum of 1988; 8)a comma-separated values (CSV) table of the locations and results of five Wohlman-style pebble counts (Wolman, 1954), collected at five sites within the study area (GrapevineCanyon_PebbleCounts.csv); 9)a zip file containing all relevant files to document and run the Hydrological Engineering Center-River Analysis System (HEC-RAS) one dimensional hydraulic model used to generate the flood-inundation area polygons (SWmodel_Archive.zip); 10)a polygon dataset of the estimated flood-inundation areas (GrapevineCanyonInundationAreas_p).

These data were collected as part of a U.S. Geological Survey study, done in cooperation with the National Park Service, to assess the extent of potential flood-inundation areas in Grapevine Canyon near Scotty's Castle, Death Valley National Park, California. Regional flood regression equations were used to estimate the 4, 2, 1, 0.5, and 0.2 percent annual exceedance probability (AEP) flood streamflows. The estimated flood streamflows were used in the one-dimensional hydraulic model to compute water surface elevations mapped using the digital terrain model
