Summary
(Hyperlink to Official Landing Page for Geospatial Fabric products) The first of the Geospatial Fabric datasets are being released as two discrete products, one for the GIS feature geometry and one for the set of attribute tables from which PRMS parameter files are generated. Both products are being released through a community within www.sciencebase.gov, called the National Hydrologic Modeling Framework (https://www.sciencebase.gov/catalog/folder/4f4e4773e4b07f02db47e234). There is a full FGDC-compliant metadata record associated with both of these products, including an abstract, in addition to full access to actual data. The data sets are formatted as ESRI file geodatabases, organized according to Geospatial Fabric Regions (which [...]
The first of the Geospatial Fabric datasets are being released as two discrete products, one for the GIS feature geometry and one for the set of attribute tables from which PRMS parameter files are generated. Both products are being released through a community within www.sciencebase.gov, called the National Hydrologic Modeling Framework (https://www.sciencebase.gov/catalog/folder/4f4e4773e4b07f02db47e234).
There is a full FGDC-compliant metadata record associated with both of these products, including an abstract, in addition to full access to actual data. The data sets are formatted as ESRI file geodatabases, organized according to Geospatial Fabric Regions (which are identical to NHDPlus v1 Regions; see https://www.sciencebase.gov/catalog/item/535edb4ae4b08e65d60fc837 for a figure of the Regions). The user is responsible for using these data to create PRMS-formatted parameter files. Web services to deliver PRMS-formatted parameter files are under development, but not yet available.
This record serves as a specification of a pre-configured subset of the tables in the Geospatial Fabric Attribute Tables for PRMS (Preliminary) data set. This subset provides an initial set of values corresponding to many of the spatial parameters needed for application of the USGS PRMS watershed model. This subset should be considered provisional. Users should carry out quality assurance and calibration according to their needs.

Purpose
This metadata record specifies a set of online data resources that has been used to define a suite of spatial parameters to apply the USGS PRMS watershed model tolocations within the conterminous United States, Hawaii, andPuerto Rico. Although quality assurance procedures have been applied to these data, users should treat this information as preliminary and expect to carry out their own quality assurance on the information for appropriate use in applications of the USGS PRMS model. This data set was also published in order to document its use in a number of published watershed modeling reports.
