Summary

This data release contains datasets developed for the purpose of training and applying random forest models to the Mississippi Embayment Regional Study Area. The random forest models are designed to predict total stream flow and baseflow as a function of a combination of watershed characteristics and monthly weather data. These datasets are associated with a report (SIR 2022-5079) and code contained in a USGS GitLab repository. The GitLab repository (https://code.usgs.gov/map/maprandomforest/) contains much more information about how these data may be used to supply predictions of stream flow and baseflow.

Purpose

This data release, when combined with code retrieved from an associated software release, is designed to allow for reasonable monthly total and baseflow volumes to be estimated at arbitrary locations within the Mississippi Embayment as part of the Mississippi Alluvial Plain (MAP) Project. The resulting surface water volume estimates were used as inputs to associated groundwater flow models developed as part of the MAP Project. This data release makes the trained random forest model object, input data sets, output data sets, and source code (via software release, hosted on USGS GitLab: https://code.usgs.gov/map/maprandomforest) available for inspection and use. The data (in this archive) and code (in the GitLab software release) will reproduce about 97% of the records originally generated for use by groundwater flow modelers as part of the Mississippi Alluvial Plain Project. The remaining records that cannot be reproduced using the scripts provided here are associated with large rivers; the values for these rivers were obtained directly from the USGS National Water Information System and are not generated by means of the software release.
