Application of the WRF-Hydro Modeling System for the Conterminous United States at the NHDPlus version 2 Spatial Resolution Using the Bias Adjusted Version of the CONUS404 Atmospheric Forcings (CONUS404BA), Water Years 2010-2021

This data release contains inputs for and outputs from a hydrologic simulation for the conterminous United States (CONUS) using the WRF-Hydro modeling system version 5.2.0 (Gochis and others, 2020) at the NHDPlus version 2 spatial resolution. This simulation was developed to provide water budget estimates for the period 10/1/2009 to 9/30/2021 using the bias adjusted version of the CONUS404 (CONUS404BA) atmospheric forcings dataset (Zhang and others, 2024). The WRF-Hydro model input files are included within this data release and consist of two configuration files, two simulation restart files, nine parameter files, and five types of output files. Each output type has a file for each timestep of the model application simulation. All model files are archived on the U.S. Geological Survey's Black Pearl tape drive system. The data can be accessed through a Globus endpoint here: https://app.globus.org/file-manager/collections/bf01ea19-425e-4434-809f-4e44ac550b1c/overview. The Entity and Attribute element of the metadata file contains the data descriptions for all the variables in each of the five types of output files. Please refer to the Supplemental Information element of this metadata record for further information on this model application.

Data files for this data release are large and cannot be easily downloaded through standard protocols. Therefore, the data files are provided via a Globus Access Portal (linked under Related External Resources). Globus* is a fast, secure, and reliable way to move large data files and will automatically resume transfers when there are network disruptions. Learn more at https://www.globus.org/data-transfer.
