Summary

The watershed data management (WDM) database SC18.WDM is updated with the processed data for the period October 1, 2018, through September 30, 2019. The precipitation data are collected from a tipping-bucket rain-gage network and the hydrologic data (stage and discharge) are collected at USGS streamflow-gaging stations in and around DuPage County, Illinois. Hourly precipitation and hydrologic data for the period October 1, 2018, through September 30, 2019, are processed following the guidelines described in Bera (2014) and Murphy and Ishii (2006) and appended to SC18.WDM and renamed as SC19.WDM. Meteorological data (wind speed, solar radiation, air temperature, dewpoint temperature, and potential evapotranspiration) from October 1, [...]

Purpose

The datasets in this database may be used as input to the Hydrological Simulation Program-FORTRAN (HSPF) model or other similar rainfall-runoff model for simulating streamflow in DuPage County and nearby areas in northeastern Illinois. This database will be available to the public and other cooperators for doing similar simulations or meteorological analyses.
