Select Climate and Water Balance Model Attributes: Annual Average Potential Evapotranspiration (millimeters) from 2014 - 2015

Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Catalog Last Checked: August 01, 2026 at 06:09 AM | Dataset Last Updated: March 26, 2026 at 12:00 AM
This tabular data set represents annual average potential evapotranspiration values (millimeters) described in Wolock and McCabe (2017), compiled for the NHDPlus version 2 data suite (NHDPlusV2) for the conterminous United States for the years 2014 and 2015. Linkage of the potential evapotranspiration data with NHDPlusV2 is achieved through the common unique identifier COMID. The potential evapotranspiration values are estimated both for: 1) individual reach catchments and 2) reach catchments accumulated upstream through the river network. The reach catchment information characterizes data at the local scale, whereas the catchments accumulated through the river network characterize cumulative upstream conditions. The network-accumulated values are derived using two methods: 1) divergence routing and 2) total upstream routing. Both approaches use a modified routing database (Schwarz and Wieczorek, 2017) to navigate the NHDPlusV2 reach network and to aggregate (accumulate) the metrics derived from the reach catchment scale.
