Abstract. We present a community data set of daily forcing and hydrologic response for 671 small- to medium-sized basins across the contiguous United States (median basin size 336 km2) that spans very wide range hydroclimatic conditions. Area-averaged period 1980–2010 was generated three spatial configurations – mean, units (HRUs) elevation bands by mapping daily, gridded meteorological sets subbasin (Daymet) polygons (Daymet, Maurer NLDAS). Daily streamflow compiled from Geological Survey...

Abstract. This paper describes the first version of a stand-alone runoff routing tool, mizuRoute. The mizuRoute tool post-processes outputs from any distributed hydrologic model or land surface to produce spatially streamflow at various spatial scales headwater basins continental-wide river systems. can utilize both traditional grid-based network and vector-based data. Both types include segment lines associated drainage basin polygons, but represent finer-scale than network. Streamflow...
Abstract. Because use of high-resolution hydrologic models is becoming more widespread and estimates are made over large domains, there a pressing need for systematic evaluation their performance. Most efforts to date have focused on smaller basins that been relatively undisturbed by human activity, but also benchmark model performance comprehensively, including impacted activities. This study benchmarks the long-term two process-oriented, high-resolution, continental-scale developed assess...
Abstract We propose an extension of map algebra to three dimensions for spatio-temporal data handling. This approach yields a new class functions that we call "cube functions." Whereas conventional operate on layers representing two-dimensional space, cube cubes space over third-dimensional period time. describe the prototype implementation structure and selected function versions local, focal, zonal functions. The utility is demonstrated through case study analyzing variability remotely...
A study by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) evaluated hydrologic response to different projected carbon emission scenarios of 21st century using a simulation model.
