Soil-Water-Balance model data sets for the St. Louis River drainage basin, northeast Minnesota, 1995-2010
A soil-water balance model (SWB) was developed to estimate potential recharge and surface runoff for portions of the St. Louis River drainage basin, northeast Minnesota, for the period 1995 through 2010. The model was used in the creation of St. Louis River streamflow distribution maps, as part of the associated report, U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Map 2017-3390 (http://dx.doi.org/10.3133/SIM20173390). This SWB model was calibrated using three independent hydrograph separation models: PART, Hysep-fixed, and Hysep-sliding method. The basic framework for this model was the statewide Minnesota SWB potential recharge model, described, calibrated, and documented as part of U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2015-5038 (http://dx.doi.org/10.3133/sir20155038). Daymet (version 2) daily surface weather data necessary for running this SWB model, including "prcp", "tmax", and "tmin", can be downloaded from an associated SWB model for the Cannon River drainage basin: https://doi.org/10.5066/F72V2DMN. Alternatively, the Daymet v2 are available upon request through the following link: https://doi.org/10.3334/ORNLDAAC/1219.
