Summary
This produced dataset includes spatially aggregated records of measurements and observations from public and private organizations across the Upper Missouri River Basin. For this dataset the Upper Missouri River Basin is defined as Hydrologic Unit Code 1002-1013, and includes the states of Montana, Wyoming, Utah, North Dakota, and South Dakota. Streamflow measurements are an essential part of understanding the relationship between streamflow permanence and climatic and physical factors. For the purpose of this investigation, all streamflow observations were identified as perennial, non-perennial, or pooled to be used in the PROSPER (PRObability of Streamflow PERmanence) model.

Purpose
This Upper Missouri River Basin streamflow observation dataset was collected and aggregated from multiple datasets from public and private organizations. The data will assist with a study of how streamflow is affected by climatic and physical factors. The streamflow observation data were used with explanatory variables such as climatic and physical factors to develop a Random Forest classification model. The model is used to predict the annual probability of streamflow permanence throughout the Upper Missouri River Basin from 1989-2018.
