This data series may be used to run the Hydrological Simulation Program- FORTRAN (HSPF) model or any other compatible model for simulating rainfall-runoff in DuPage County and nearby areas in northeastern, Illinois. This database is available to public and other cooperators for the purpose of doing similar research.
Data is collected by Argonne National Laboratory and is available at the website (http://gonzalo.er.anl.gov/ANLMET/numeric/). These data are processed following the guidelines documented in the report Over and others (2010).
