Abstract
This resource holds the MERRA Spatial Downscaling for Hydrology (MSDH) downscaling tool developed to provide sub-daily high spatial resolution surfaces of weather variables for distributed hydrologic modeling from NASA Modern Era Retrospective-Analysis for Research and Applications reanalysis products. The tool uses spatial interpolation and physically based relationships between the weather variables and elevation to provide inputs at the scale of a gridded hydrologic model, typically smaller (∼100 m) than the scale of weather reanalysis data (∼20–200 km).
Detailed information on and an evaluation of MSDH is given in Sen Gupta, A. and D. G. Tarboton, (2016), "A tool for downscaling weather data from large-grid reanalysis products to finer spatial scales for distributed hydrological applications," Environmental Modelling & Software, 84: 50-69, http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.envsoft.2016.06.014.

Using the software
Running "MERRA Spatial Downscaling for Hydrology (MSDH)" in windows computer
-
download and install GTK2+ from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/gtk-win/files/latest/download
-
The bin directory of GTK2+ installation must be set as path in environement variable Please follow the following procedure to do so. Click on -> Control Panel -> System -> Advanced Click on Environment Variables, under System Variables, find PATH, and click on it. In the Edit windows, modify PATH by adding the location of the class to the value for PATH. If you do not have the item PATH, you may select to add a new variable and add PATH as the name and the location of the class as the value.
-
Download and install R from http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base, if you have not done that already.
-
The bin directory of R installation must be set as Environmental Variable path by similar procedure described above.
-
Download and install NCO from http://nco.sourceforge.net/ and set its installaton directory as Environmental Variable path.
-
Download and install CDO from https://code.zmaw.de/projects/cdo/files and set its installaton directory as Environmental Variable path.
-
Make sure RunMSDH.exe and MSDH_USU.R are under the same folder.
-
Click on RunMSDH.exe.
