Hammond, J.C., 2024, Snow drought classification and streamflow timing and magnitude signatures for snow dominated USGS watersheds in the Conterminous United States from 1980 to 2020: U.S. Geological Survey data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/P9J8T8DR.
Summary
This data release contains snow drought classifications as well as streamflow timing and magnitude signatures for gaged, snow-dominated U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) watersheds in the Conterminous United States (CONUS) from 1980 to 2020 supporting the journal article "Snow drought classification and streamflow timing and magnitude signatures for snow dominated USGS watersheds in the Conterminous United States from 1980 to 2020." Specifically, this dataset contains snow drought classifications as "no snow drought," "cool and dry snow drought," "warm and dry snow drought," and "warm and wet snow drought." Along with the snow drought classification for each water year, climate data used to determine the snow drought category as well as [...]
Summary
This data release contains snow drought classifications as well as streamflow timing and magnitude signatures for gaged, snow-dominated U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) watersheds in the Conterminous United States (CONUS) from 1980 to 2020 supporting the journal article "Snow drought classification and streamflow timing and magnitude signatures for snow dominated USGS watersheds in the Conterminous United States from 1980 to 2020." Specifically, this dataset contains snow drought classifications as "no snow drought," "cool and dry snow drought," "warm and dry snow drought," and "warm and wet snow drought." Along with the snow drought classification for each water year, climate data used to determine the snow drought category as well as values of streamflow timing and magnitude signatures are included in this release. Streamflow signatures in this data release include total annual streamflow, runoff ratio, maximum and minimum 7-day flows and the date of their occurrence, the date of the center of mass of streamflow, total annual baseflow, low flow days, and seasonal streamflow and baseflow totals.
This study was conducted, and data generated, to analyze the effects of snow drought on streamflow timing and magnitude across the Conterminous United States.
