Abstract

This hydroshare provides the source code utilized for the model runs, calibration, input processing, data analysis and figure creation for the manuscript under review at JAWRA. The abstract of the manuscript is as follows: In this study, we evaluate the performance of the TETIS model structure of the Hillslope-Link Model (HLM), which is a distributed hydrologic model. We explore performance across the contiguous United States (CONUS) at 5046 United States Geological Survey (USGS) streamgages. Specifically, we compare observed daily discharge from 1981 through 2020 with long term continuous simulations from the HLM TETIS. To obtain model parameters across CONUS, we run calibration by partitioning the study area based on 234 HydroSHEDS level 5 basins and calibrating to a single representative location near the outlet of each basin. Next, we utilize the remaining USGS gages for validation. We assess the model performance with the Kling Gupta Efficiency (KGE) and bias. We find the median KGE across CONUS is 0.43, with 80% of the gages above 0 and 43% above 0.5. Furthermore, our results show there is a dependence of the model performance on climate regions, with arid basins performing worse than basins in cold and temperate regions. To improve the model performance, we recalibrate these arid basins and highlight an overall performance improvement. Next, we compare model performance between simulations with different precipitation inputs to examine the robustness of the selected model parameters. Overall, our study highlights the model’s flexibility in performing across regions with different runoff generation mechanisms and provides a basis for future.

Introduction

This hydroshare contains the data availability for the following study under review at JAWRA: "Continental-scale hydrologic modeling using the HLM TETIS" by Alexander Michalek, Felipe Quintero and Gabriele Villarini. There are seven folders for this hydroshare the provide the data and code for this analysis. Each component is described in depth below.

Calibration

This folder contains the simulations for the US at the USGS Gages II sites. The calibration code using PRISM inputs are provided in the "Headwaters" and "Nested" subfolder called "code". These codes are Rscripts that call openmpi the run asynch (HLM model described below). The network files necessary to run the model are provided in the "networks" zip file. The Hydrosheds level 5 basins for each set are provided in the zipfiles called "Basins". The outputs for the calibration simulations are provided in the respectively named folder with hourly and daily simulations labelled by the respective HYBASID for level 5 basins. Additionally, the optimal parameters for each basin are provided in "outputs" folder as well in rds format.

The folder labelled "Arid" contain simulations reran after initial calibration as described in Figure S1 of the manuscript. The code and output files are provided in the same format as previously discussed.

Each of the "Arid", "Headwaters", and "Nested" subfolders contains a csv file mapping the calibration point with the HydroRIVER ID, HYBASID, and USGSID.

AORC hourly simulations are conducted with the "optimal" set of parameters with the simulations provided in the "Arid", "Headwaters", and "Nested" subfolders. Each has the code and output simulations provided in the same format as the PRISM simulations. Note no calibration is done for these simulations.

Steps for downloading and processing files to use for inputs to the model are described in the "Inputs" section.

Figures

This folder provides the main analysis and figure scripts for the manuscript. RDS files are created with the metrics described in the paper. These files are provided along with the code to create them. R scripts to create each figure are also provided. The "Hydrosheds" folder contains the mapping csv between the HydroRIVER ID and USGSID.

HLM

This folder provides the source code utilized to run HLM TETIS simulations. The source code is from https://github.com/Iowa-Flood-Center/asynch. The TETIS model is identified as model 404. The files for creating run scripts are provided in the "Calibration" subfolders.

Hydrosheds

This zip file contains the HydroBASIN shapefiles, USGS basin shapefiles, and the mapping of USGS GAGESII to HydroRIVER network.

Inputs

This folder provides the codes to download files for AORC precipitation and temperature, ERA5 ET and soil temperature, and PRISM precipitation and temperature. Additionally, codes are provided to convert the data to binary file inputs for HLM simulations. The network files are provided in the "Calibration" subfolder to process to binary format. All scripts are in R or python.

Misc

This folder contains the spatial soil data used to assess parameter correlations with the manuscript. The LANDFIRE slope is not provided due to the large file size.

USGS

This folder provides the daily discharge data downloaded from the USGS dataRetrieval package and used within the calibration and analysis steps.
