Hammond, J.C., 2020, Sub-annual streamflow responses to rainfall and snowmelt inputs in snow-dominated watersheds of the western U.S.: U.S. Geological Survey data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/P9AB3KL9.

Summary

The data presented here contain quasi-event hydrologic response characteristics for quickflow response intervals (QRIs) calculated at 57 USGS GAGES-II reference watersheds in the western US. Each row in the attached csv contains characteristics for an individual QRI at one site. QRI characteristics include duration, antecedent flow, input, input rate,peak flow, potential evapotranspiration, quickflow, and quickflow/input (effectively a runoff ratio). This data release supports the publication "Sub-annual streamflow responses to rainfall and snowmelt inputs in snow-dominated watersheds of the western U.S." in Water Resources Research.

Purpose

These data were collected to support the analysis of hydrologic response to rainfall, mixed and snowmelt inputs in snow dominated areas of the western U.S. They may be used to explore relationships between event-scale input and hydrologic response.
