Collections in Calisphere
All of the items in Calisphere are organized into collections. Collections bring context to images, documents, videos, and audio recordings. Some collections represent a particular topic or format, some have items created by the same person, and some showcase an institution’s special project or initiative. Use the tabs below to explore the hundreds of collections in Calisphere.

Daily POP Model Output over the Equatorial Indian Ocean
This collection includes a spatial subset (10ºS-3ºN, 45ºE-90ºE) of forced coupled ocean/sea ice simulations using CICE4 and the global Los Alamos National Laboratory Parallel Ocean Program Model 2 (POP), run in the Community Earth System Model (CESM) framework. The output includes daily temperature, density, velocity, and wind stress from 2005-2009, at 42 depth levels, with a vertical resolution that varies from 10 m at the surface to 250 m at depth, and a nominal horizontal resolution of 0.1º. For more information on the setup, processing, and analysis, please refer to Arzeno-Soltero et al. 2021 (DOI to be determined later).

Dalton Trumbo Papers, 1934-1976
James Dalton Trumbo (1905-1976) was a screenwriter who became one of the Hollywood Ten and was blacklisted by the motion picture industry (1947). He was one of the first blacklisted writers to emerge from the underground when he received screen credit for his work on the 1960 releases of Spartacus and Exodus. The collection consists of materials related to Trumbo's career as a screen writer and novelist. The majority of material in the collection includes scripts, correspondence, manuscripts, clippings, and notes.

Dance Heritage Video Archive
With generous support from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the USC Libraries and the USC Glorya Kaufman School of Dance created the Dance History Video Archive (DHVA) collection. The collection preserves culturally significant recordings that document global and U.S. dance traditions, creative work by outstanding choreographers and performers, and performances that helped to advance the art form. The DHVA collection continues the work begun by the Dance Heritage Coalition’s Dance Preservation and Digitization Project to address the challenges faced by dance artists, choreographers, performers, and companies in preserving a record of their work and helping to share it as broadly …

Data and Code from: 3D Reconstruction and Segmentation of Barely Visible Impact Damage in Composites from Pulse-Echo Ultrasonic C-Scans
This dataset is a set of processed pulse-echo ultrasonic C-scans of composite samples with barely visible impact damage. The samples have varying layups and impact energies and have been processed using an open-source MATLAB code developed as an alternative to commercial ultrasonic C-scan processing software. The data included are (1) raw data from the ultrasonic C-scan, in .csv file format in .zip folder, (2) the processed C-scan from a commercial software, Mistras/UTWin, in .png format, (3) output figures from the open source code, in .png format (specifically, time-of-flight map, damage layers map, inflection points map & mask, 3D reconstruction of …

Data and Code from: Measuring Turbulent Dissipation with Acoustic Doppler Velocimeters in the Presence of Large, Intermittent, Infragravity Frequency Bores
This object contains data collected from Los Peñasquitos Lagoon in Southern California as well as code to process that data according to the paper “Measuring Turbulent Dissipation with Acoustic Doppler Velocimeters in the Presence of Large, Intermittent, Infragravity Frequency Bores.” It is meant to provide reference for those looking to reproduce or build upon the methods presented in that paper. The data is primarily 16 Hz velocity measurements obtained from 3 Nortek Vectors (Acoustic Doppler Velocimeters). Two synced Nortek Vectors were mounted, along with other instruments, on a sawhorse frame that was secured with sand anchors into the bed at …

Data from: A Broadband View of the Sea Surface Height Wavenumber Spectrum
Airborne lidar altimetry can measure the sea surface height (SSH) over scales ranging from hundreds of kilometers to a few meters. This collection has SSH observations taken during an airborne lidar campaign conducted in the spring of 2019 off the California coast in support of the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission. The collection consists of NetCDF files with all data necessary to reproduce the figures in Villas Bôas et al. (2022), which were based on flights from March 28, 2019, and April 9, 2019. The data can be used in conjunction with code available in the following GitHub …
