WRF-Hydro model datasets for simulating post-wildfire hydrologic response in three snow-dominated basins in the western United States
This dataset contains model input and output files for WRF-Hydro simulations over three wildfire-impacted basins in the western United States: Mill Creek Basin in Montana (Chippy Creek Fire, 2007), North Inlet of Grand Lake in Colorado (East Troublesome Fire, 2020), and East Fork of the Jemez River in New Mexico (Las Conchas Fire, 2011). Each domain includes simulations for three scenarios—a two-year pre-fire period, a two-year post-fire period, and a two-year counterfactual no-fire period—designed to assess hydrologic response to wildfire disturbance. The modeling framework integrates burn severity land cover classes into a modified version of WRF-Hydro v5.2, calibrated using the PEST++ iterative Ensemble Smoother (iES). Simulations use the NOAH-MP land surface model at 1 km resolution with 250 m routing, and are forced with data from the CONUS404 reanalysis.
