Summary

A list of stream gages within the conterminous United States that will serve as the initial list of sites (version 1.0) used for streamflow benchmarking of hydrologic models. Sites within this list were chosen based on their presence in the GAGES-II dataset, their availability of modeled streamflow data from the most recent version of the National Hydrologic Model application of Precipitation-Runoff Modeling System v1.0, and their availability of modeled streamflow data from the most recent version of the NOAA National Water Model application of WRF-hydro version 2.1 retrospective dataset.

Purpose

The list of streamflow gages was created to be the initial list (version 1.0) for benchmarking streamflow simulated by hydrologic models, and intended for use within the U.S. Geological Survey Hydro-Terrestrial Earth System Testbed (HyTEST) Project within the Integrated Water Program (IWP) Water Resources Mission Area (WMA).This list will be updated and versioned accordingly.
