Data-Driven Drought Prediction Project Model Inputs for Upper and Lower Colorado Portions of the National Hydrologic Geo-Spatial Fabric version 1.1 and Select U.S. Geological Survey Streamgage Basins: Daily Climate Metrics Derived from GridMET, 1980 - 2020

Metadata Updated: August 23, 2025

These tabular data sets represent daily climate metrics processed from 4 kilometer GridMET data (Abatzoglou, 2013) for the period of record 1980 through 2020 and compiled for three spatial components: select United States Geological Survey stream gage basins (Staub and Wieczorek, 2023), 2) individual reach flowline catchments of the Upper and Lower Colorado (ucol) portions of the Geospatial Fabric for the National Hydrologic Model, version 1.1 (nhgfv11, Bock and others, 2020 ), and 3) the upstream watersheds of each individual nhgfv11 flowline catchments. Flowline reach catchment information characterizes data at the local scale using the python tool set called gdptools (McDonald, 2021). Reach catchments accumulated upstream through the river network characterizes cumulative upstream conditions. Network-accumulated values were computed using the published python software package Xstrm (Wieferich and others). The following daily climate metrics were processed: minimum and maximum temperature (Celsius), precipitation (millimeters), potential evapotranspiration (millimeters), reference evapotranspiration (millimeters), and 5 day standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (unitless).
