Daily twelve-digit hydrologic unit code aggregations of snow water equivalent, soil moisture, and actual evapotranspiration estimates from the National Hydrologic Model Precipitation Runoff Modeling System forced with CONUS404-BA

April 8, 2025
This data release contains three variables from the National Hydrologic Model Infrastructure with the Precipitation-Runoff Modeling System (NHM-PRMS) version 1.1 modeling application forced with CONUS404-BA (Markstrom and others, 2024) from January 1st, 1980 through September 25th, 2021 that are summarized to a twelve-digit hydrologic unit code for the spatial extent of the conterminous United States at a daily timestep. The three variables presented here are snow water equivalent, actual evapotranspiration, and soil moisture fraction. There are three netCDF files of daily, modeled data; one for each of the following variables: actual evapotranspiration - "huc12_daily_nhmprms-conus404ba_actet.nc", soil moisture fraction - "huc12_daily_nhmprms-conus404ba_soil_moisture_fraction.nc", and snow water equivalent - "huc12_daily_nhmprms-conus404ba_pkwater_equiv.nc".
Additionally, two supplementary files are also included in this data release. The first file (“weights_hru_to_huc12_nhmprms_conus404ba.csv”) contains the spatial weights or fraction that is used to “weight” the modeling output in the area-weighting process. The second file (“summed_weights_per_huc12_nhmprms_conus404ba.csv”) contains the total fractional area within each twelve-digit hydrologic unit code that is covered by the modeling output and is important for filtering results in the data file (where a fractional coverage may be less than one).
