Summary

These tabular data sets represent the average daily soil moisture water content (kg/m^2) for four different soil layers processed from North American Land Data Assimilation System (NLDAS-2) data (Xia and others, 2012) for the period of record 1980 through 2020 and compiled for three spatial components: 1) select United States Geological Survey stream gage basins (Staub and Wieczorek, 2023), 2) individual reach flowline catchments of the Upper Colorado (ucol) portion of the Geospatial Fabric for the National Hydrologic Model, version 1.1 (nhgfv11, Bock and others, 2020 ), and 3) the upstream watersheds of each individual nhgfv11 flowline catchments. Flowline reach catchment information characterizes data at the local scale using the [...]

Purpose

These data sets were created by the U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) Regional Drought Early Warning Project (RDEW) of the Drought Science Program within the Water Resources Mission Area's Water Resource Availability Program. This project focuses on the development of a regional model prototype for streamflow drought prediction, applying data-driven methods in conjunction with members of the National Drought Prediction project. These data were processed to estimate the average daily soil moisture water content (kg/m^2) from NLDAS2 data for flowline catchments and upstream river networks of the Upper Colorado portion of the Geospatial Fabric for the National Hydrologic Model, version 1.1 (nhgfv11) and for select watersheds of the conterminous United States streamgage locations to support statistical analysis, map display, and model parameterization.
