Lower Salinas Valley Hydrologic Models: Climate Data

This digital dataset contains the climate data used for the Lower Salinas Valley Hydrologic Models (Salinas Valley Integrated Hydrologic Model (SVIHM) and Salinas Valley Operational Model (SVOM)). The monthly climate data for the Lower Salinas Valley Hydrologic Models are based on the regional climate data for the Salinas Valley Hydrologic System [Hevesi and others, 2022]. To develop the monthly climate grids, the regional climate data were resampled to a monthly timescale and area weighted to the model grid. The climate data include spatially distributed monthly precipitation and potential evapotranspiration for the model grid for October 1967 to September 2018.

Los Angeles Basin Watershed Model (LABWM) using INFIL4.0

This data release documents the datasets and procedures used to update the Los Angeles Basin Watershed Model (LABWM) (Hevesi and Johnson, 2016) from INFIL3.0 (USGS, 2008a, 2008b) to INFIL4.0. The LABWM provides gridded monthly infiltration, evaporation, recharge, and runoff estimates for the Los Angeles region using the water balance recharge model, INFIL. INFIL is a grid-based, distributed-parameter, deterministic model that uses a daily time step to simulate the temporal and spatial distribution of the root-zone water balance, including net infiltration and potential recharge across the lower boundary of the root zone. INFIL3.0 was originally released and documented in 2008 (USGS, 2008a) and has been used and...

Salinas Valley Hydrologic Models: Surface Water Data (ver. 1.1, September 2024)

This digital dataset contains the surface water data used for both the Salinas Valley Watershed Model (SVWM) and the Lower Salinas Valley Hydrologic Models (Salinas Valley Integrated Hydrologic Model (SVIHM) and Salinas Valley Operational Model (SVOM)). The surface water dataset includes two regions of the Salinas River Watershed; the upper region is primarily within San Luis Obispo County, California and lower region of the Salinas River Watershed is contained within Monterey County, California. Subcatchments within the Salinas River watershed were delineated using the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 10m digital elevation model (DEM), USGS National Hydrography Dataset Best Resolution (NHD) watershed boundaries, and...

Salinas Valley Hydrologic System: Regional Climate Data

This digital dataset contains the climate data used for the Salinas Valley Hydrologic System, including the Salinas Valley Watershed Model (SVWM) and the Lower Salinas Valley Hydrologic Models (Salinas Valley Integrated Hydrologic Model (SVIHM) and Salinas Valley Operational Model (SVOM)). The climate data include spatially distributed daily precipitation, maximum and minimum air temperature, and potential evapotranspiration for the period from 10/1/1947 to 9/30/2018. This data set includes the following files: raster of the extent used in the Salinas Valley Hydrologic System; shapefiles of the input climate stations and daily gridded climate data for daily precipitation (PPT), maximum and minimum air temperature...
