Summary
Climatic data are from Daymet (Thornton and others, 2016) and include maximum daily air temperature and total daily precipitation on a 1-km resolution; these data replace and update the original climate data used for the tool (Williamson and others, 2009).

Purpose
These data inform the reconfigured WATERpy-KY, including the potential for addressing land-use based hydrologic response units and extending the historical record of precipitation and temperature through 2019. Data were aggregated for Kentucky and portions of Tennessee that contribute to Kentucky streams. Rasters that describe topography (topographic wetness interval), soil properties (saturated hydraulic conductivity [Ksat], soil thickness, total porosity, field capacity porosity, available water-holding capacity), and TOPMODEL-specific soil variables (conductivity multiplier, scaling parameter are available for download as separate child items.
