mapRandomForest---Monthly flow estimation in the Mississippi Alluvial Plain by means of Random Forest Modeling
June 9, 2021
The code included in this package, when combined with data retrieved from an associated ScienceBase archive, is designed to allow for reasonable monthly total and baseflow volumes to be estimated at arbitrary locations within the Mississippi Embayment as part of the Mississippi Alluvial Plain (MAP) Project. The resulting surface water volume estimates were used as inputs to associated groundwater flow models developed as part of the MAP Project. The original random forest model was constructed by Brian K. Breaker, who is now (as of June, 2021) with the Corps of Engineers. The code provided here is based on his earlier code.

Simulation of monthly mean and monthly base flow of streamflow using random forests for the Mississippi River Alluvial Plain, 1901 to 2018
Improved simulations of streamflow and base flow for selected sites within and adjacent to the Mississippi River Alluvial Plain area are important for modeling groundwater flow because surface-water flows have a substantial effect on groundwater levels. One method for simulating streamflow and base flow, random forest (RF) models, was developed from the data at gaged sites and, in turn...
