Model input and output for prefire and postfire hydrologic simulations in the Upper Rio Hondo Basin, New Mexico using the Precipitation-Runoff Modeling System (PRMS)

This data release contains inputs for and outputs from hydrologic simulations of the Upper Rio Hondo Subbasin, New Mexico using the Precipitation-Runoff Modeling System (PRMS). Input data for the entire Upper Rio Hondo Subbasin were developed, but output data only from the North Fork Eagle Creek subwatershed were used. Input data include parameter files for two PRMS models calibrated to prefire conditions and postfire conditions. Synthetic flow data used to calibrate PRMS for prefire conditions and postfire conditions are also included. Output data include output variable files for four PRMS models: two calibrated models (one for prefire conditions and one for postfire conditions) and two models used for scenarios (one for prefire conditions and one for postfire conditions) in the North Fork Eagle Creek subwatershed. Models used for scenarios only differed from calibrated models in that they used different climate forcing data. These simulations were developed to provide estimates of landscape hydrologic conditions and streamflow before and after the 2012 Little Bear Fire. These PRMS model input and output data are intended to accompany a U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report (Douglas-Mankin and Moeser, in review).
