The model coupled previous \ncatchment-scale (1-km) water balance predictions of \u201cnatural\u201d \nunit-area runoff, which are inclusive of major water cycling \nprocesses, with additional explanatory variables (e.g., soils, \nvegetation, land use, topography, water losses in streams \nand reservoirs) that account for the effects of natural and \ncultural water supply and demand processes that operate \nover large spatial scales and explain streamflow variability \nacross the conterminous United States river basins. The \nmodel performance was compared with that for six more \nsimple models as described in the journal article. This \nUSGS data release contains all of the input and output \nfiles for the execution of all of the models described in the \njournal article (see Table 1; https://doi.org/10.1029/2019WR025001).\nAn R script is provided that allows users to execute the \nseven models.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/P9NT387B", "description": "Landing page for access to the data", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "application/http", "title": "Digital Data"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "The metadata original format", "downloadURL": "https://data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/metadata/USGS.9c8570be-f2e9-4fc7-beb2-79806f290763.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_9c8570be-f2e9-4fc7-beb2-79806f290763", "keyword": ["Groundwater and surface-water interaction", "InlandWaters", "SPARROW", "Surfacewater", "Surfacewater Model", "USGS:9c8570be-f2e9-4fc7-beb2-79806f290763", "environment", "geoscientificInformation", "inlandWaters", "usgssurfacewatermodel"], "modified": "2020-11-17T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-124.8, 24.3, -66.8, 49.3", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "A spatially explicit model of long-term mean annual streamflow for the conterminous United States"}
