Data-Driven Drought Prediction Project Model Inputs for Upper and Lower Colorado Portion of the National Hydrologic Geo-Spatial Fabric version 1.1 and Select U.S. Geological Survey Streamgage Basins: Daily Meteorological Forecast Metrics Derived from the Global Ensemble Forecast System (GEFS), 2000 - 2019

These tabular datasets represent retrospective forecasts of average minimum temperature (degrees Celsius), maximum temperature (degrees Celsius), and total precipitation (millimeters) within three-hour forecasting periods derived from the Global Ensemble Forecast System (GEFS) reforecast dataset (Hamill and others, 2013). Data are averaged across 7 day forecast horizons for each day within the period of record spanning 2000 through 2019. The data were compiled for two spatial components: 1) select United States Geological Survey streamgage basins (Staub and others, 2023), 2) individual reach flowline catchments of the Upper Colorado (ucol) portion of the Geospatial Fabric for the National Hydrologic Model, version 1.1 (Bock and others, 2020). Flowline reach catchment information characterizes data at the local scale using the python tool set called gdptools (McDonald, 2021).
