Watershed Data Management (WDM) Database (SC18.WDM) for Salt Creek Streamflow Simulation, DuPage County, Illinois, January 1, 1997, through September 30, 2018 (Ver 1.1)

Metadata Updated: September 22, 2024

The WDM database SC17.WDM is updated with the quality-assured and quality-controlled (QA/QC) data from October 1, 2017, through September 30, 2018, and renamed as SC18.WDM. Meteorological data (wind speed, solar radiation, air temperature, dew point temperature, and potential evapotranspiration) and the three digit flags corresponding to wind speed, solar radiation, air temperature, and dew point temperature are copied from ARGN18.WDM and stored in this database. Data in dataset number (DSN) 107 and 801–810 are used in comparisons of precipitation data. DSN 107 contains hourly precipitation data collected at Argonne National Laboratory at Argonne, Illinois. DSN 801-810 contains the processed Next Generation Weather Radar (NEXRAD)-Multisensor Precipitation Estimates (MPE) data from 10 NEXRAD–MPE subbasins in the Salt Creek watershed as described in Bera and Ortel (2018). Data in these DSNs are not quality-assured and quality-controlled. The data are downloaded and uploaded daily into a WDM database that is used for the real-time streamflow simulation system. Data from DSN 107 and 801-810 are copied from this WDM and stored in SC18.WDM. DSN 107 and 801-810 are updated with the data through September 30, 2018. Data in DSN 5400 (water-surface elevation at the quarry) and 5700 (water surface elevation at Thorndale) are updated through September 30, 2018, similarly (Murphy and Ishii, 2006). Errors have been found in each of ARGNXX.WDM prior to Water Year (WY) 2023. XX represents last two digits of a WY. A WY is the 12-month period, October 1 through September 30, in which it ends. SC18.wdm contains erroneous meteorological data and related flag values thereby. SC18.WDM is removed. User is advised to download SC22.WDM from https://doi.org/10.5066/P14D6FRA. SC22.WDM (Bera, 2024b) contains corrected meteorological data from ARGN23.WDM (Bera, 2024a) for the period from January 1, 1997, through September 30, 2022. This database file also contains the quality-assured and quality-controlled hydrologic data for the period January 1, 1997, through September 30, 2022, processed following the guidelines documented in Bera (2014). While SC18.WDM is available from the author, all the records in SC18.WDM can be found in SC22.WDM as well. The complete list of missing precipitation data periods and the nearby stations used to fill in those missing periods from October 1, 2017, through September 30, 2018, is given in the table, missing_data. The list of snow affected days of precipitation data and the missing and estimated period of the stage and flow data in SC22.WDM database during the period October 1, 2017, through September 30, 2018, are given in the USGS annual Water Data Report at https://waterdata.usgs.gov/nwis.
