Abstract
The CAMELS datasets are not provided in an ideal format and takes a bit of data processing to convert them to useful and convenient forms for geospatial analyses. So, I decided to use the beloved netcdf and feather formats to make the dataset more accessible while taking care of some small annoyances! Three data sources are available from the CAMELS dataset:
1. Observed Flow: Streamflow observations for all 671 stations.
2. Basin Geometries: Polygons representing basins' boundaries for all 671 stations.
3. Basin Attributes: 60 Basin-level attributes for all 671 stations.
Two files are available:
1. camels_attributes_v2.0.feather: Includes basin geometries and 60 basin-level attributes that are available in CAMELS.
2. camels_attrs_v2_streamflow_v1p2.nc: Includes observed flows for all 671 stations, as well as the 60 basin-level attributes. It has two dimensions (station_id and time) and 60 data variables.
Additionally, some small annoyances in the original dataset are taken care of:
1. Station names didn't have a consistent format and there were some missing commas and extra periods! Now, the names have a consistent format (title) and there is comma before the states.
2. Station IDs and HUC 02 are strings with leading zeros if needed.
The code that was used to generate the dataset can be found at https://github.com/cheginit/camels_netcdf.
