Summary

This data release contains the D-score (version 0.1) daily streamflow performance benchmark results for the National Hydrologic Model Infrastructure application of the Precipitation-Runoff Modeling System (NHM) version 1 "byObs" calibration with Muskingum routing computed at streamflow benchmark locations (version 1) as defined by Foks and others (2022). Model error was determined by evaluating predicted daily mean streamflow versus observed daily mean streamflow. Using those errors, the D-score performance benchmark computes the mean squared logarithmic error (MSLE), then decomposes the overall MSLE into orthogonal components such as bias, distribution, and sequence (Hodson and others, 2021). For easier interpretation, the MSLE components [...]

Purpose

These data were created to benchmark hydrologic model performance based on daily streamflow for the U.S. Geological Survey Hydro-Terrestrial Earth System Testbed (HyTEST) Project within the Integrated Water Prediction (IWP) program.

Rights

Unless otherwise stated, all data, metadata and related materials are considered to satisfy the quality standards relative to the purpose for which the data were collected. Although these data and associated metadata have been reviewed for accuracy and completeness and approved for release by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), no warranty expressed or implied is made regarding the display or utility of the data for other purposes, nor on all computer systems, nor shall the act of distribution constitute any such warranty.

Provenance

Source data include daily mean streamflow observations from the National Water Information System (NWIS) database and daily mean runoff predictions from the National Hydrologic Model Infrastructure application of the Precipitation-Runoff Modeling System (NHM-PRMS) version 1.0 "byHRU_musk_obs" calibration (Muskingum routing). Daily streamflow errors were calculated by comparing predicted and observed mean daily flow.
