ABSTRACT:

This resource contains a Jupyter notebook that demonstrate how the CUAHSI JupyterHub platform can be used to perform basic hydrologic data analysis. Temperature data is collected via the CUAHSI Hydrologic Information System (HIS) using web services. These data are interrogated, organized using Python classes, and plotted in various ways to demonstrate common data analysis steps. To get started, click the Open with dropdown on the top right of the resource and select CUAHSI JupyterHub. To use CUAHSI JupyterHub, you will need a HydroShare account.

ABSTRACT:

This resource references a large temperature database developed for the western U.S. that contains records for >23,000 unique stream and river sites and consists of data contributed by hundreds of professionals working for dozens of natural resource agencies. All the records have been QA/QC’d and linked to the National Hydrography Dataset and fully documented with metadata for easy use. The website describing the NorWeST project and serving the data is here (https://www.fs.fed.us/rm/boise/AWAE/projects/NorWeST.html). The publication, The NorWeST Summer Stream Temperature Model and Scenarios for the Western U.S.: A Crowd‐Sourced Database and New Geospatial Tools Foster a User Community and Predict Broad Climate Warming of Rivers and Streams can be found here: https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/2017WR020969

ABSTRACT:

These data are the river basin shapefile components of a curated set of historical daily rainfall and streamflow data for a large region spanning the southern Amazonian rainforest and tropical savanna biomes of Brazil.

Basin attributes include: a site ID ("site"); the basin area in square km ("area"); the fraction of the basin area impacted by (draining to) a large (>30MW) reservoir ("resvr"); and a numeric indicator for basins located within the same basin network, i.e. nested basins ("group"). None of these basins have reservoir facilities located at their outlets as of 2013, although they may have reservoirs upstream - as indicated by the basin "resvr" attribute. Basin and reservoir drainage area boundaries were derived from free, publicly-available geographic information systems (GIS) data obtained from the Brazilian water management and electricity regulatory agencies: Agência Nacional de Águas (ANA) and Agência Nacional de Energia Elétrica (ANEEL), respectively.

For each unique basin, there exists a corresponding flow gauge location record (see "Flow gauge locations for the Brazilian rainforest-savanna transition zone") and a flow time series record for discharge at the basin outlet (see "Flow gauge data for the Brazilian rainforest-savanna transition zone"); these are identified by the same site ID numbers.

Additional data package information and contents, including raw data files, documentation of data acquisition and processing, and related programmatic scripts, are available via Figshare: https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.3100912.v1

MOPEX Gage 07177500 Basin Boundary
Created: April 26, 2016, 8:12 p.m.
Authors: John Schaake

ABSTRACT:

The primary goal of MOPEX is to develop techniques for the a priori estimation of the parameters used in land surface parameterization schemes of atmospheric models and in hydrological models. A major early effort of MOPEX has been to assemble a large number of high quality historical hydrometeorlogical and river basin characteristic data sets for a wide range of river basins throughout the world. This resource provides the basin boundary.

Flow gauge locations for the Brazilian rainforest-savanna transition zone
Created: May 4, 2016, 5:15 p.m.
Authors: Morgan C Levy

ABSTRACT:

These data are the flow gauge location components of a curated set of historical daily rainfall and streamflow data for a large region spanning the southern Amazonian rainforest and tropical savanna biomes of Brazil.

Flow gauge location attributes include: a site ID ("site"); the state within which the flow gauge is located ("state"); and the elevation in m above sea level ("elevation"). Flow gauge locations were obtained from free, publicly-available historical records from the Brazilian water management agency: Agência Nacional de Águas (ANA). Elevation data was obtained from SRTM 90m Digital Elevation Database v4.1.

For each unique site, there exists a corresponding time series record (see "Flow gauge data for the Brazilian rainforest-savanna transition zone") as well as a drainage basin or catchment boundary (see "Flow basins for the Brazilian rainforest-savanna transition zone"); these are identified by the same site ID numbers.

ABSTRACT:

These data are the flow gauge time series components of a curated set of historical daily rainfall and streamflow data for a large region spanning the southern Amazonian rainforest and tropical savanna biomes of Brazil.

Data (columns) include: the year, month, and day ("year", "month", "day") of observations; the daily mean volumetric flow rate in cubic m/second ("value"); a site ID ("site"); and the state within which the flow gauge is located ("state"). Missing values are set to -9999. For each unique site, there exists a corresponding flow gauge location record (see "Flow gauge locations for the Brazilian rainforest-savanna transition zone") as well as a drainage basin or catchment boundary (see "Flow basins for the Brazilian rainforest-savanna transition zone"); these are identified by the same site ID numbers.

Flow data were obtained from free, publicly-available historical records from the Brazilian water management agency: Agência Nacional de Águas (ANA).

ABSTRACT:

Data management is a core requirement of all NSF funded research grants and while there are many options for sustaining the life of observation data, there are also many challenges that researchers may encounter. This seminar will discuss some common challenges and present solutions using CUAHSI tools. Moreover, attendees will be introduced to approaches for managing archived and streaming observation data, data ownership, access control, and publication. Discussion will center around pre-defined use cases with an emphasis on researchers that have collected data in the past, are currently collecting data, or are managing a project consisting of data from multiple sources. Attendees can expect an introduction to a variety of software tools for managing time series datasets and are encouraged to follow along through the use case demonstrations.

ABSTRACT:

This brief video will introduce one of CUAHSI’s data access tools, HydroClient. You can use HydroClient on data.cuahsi.org to search for, preview, and download time series data like stream gauge measurements, meteorological station measurements, repeated “grab” samples, and soil moisture measurements. HydroClient enables users to discover and preview plots of data from federal agencies, university researchers, and watershed organizations all in the same format. If you are interested in publishing data on HydroClient, contact help@cuahsi.org or create a Publishing Account on HydroServer.cuahsi.org.
