    • Data-Driven Drought Prediction Project Model Inputs for Upper and Lower Colorado Portion of the National Hydrologic Geo-Spatial Fabric version 1.1 and Select U.S. Geological Survey Streamgage Basins: Daily Climate Metrics Derived from NLDAS2, 1980 - 2020

    Metadata Updated: January 21, 2026

    These tabular data sets represent the average daily soil moisture water content (kg/m^2) for four different soil layers processed from North American Land Data Assimilation System (NLDAS-2) data (Xia and others, 2012) for the period of record 1980 through 2020 and compiled for three spatial components: 1) select United States Geological Survey stream gage basins (Staub and Wieczorek, 2023), 2) individual reach flowline catchments of the Upper Colorado (ucol) portion of the Geospatial Fabric for the National Hydrologic Model, version 1.1 (nhgfv11, Bock and others, 2020 ), and 3) the upstream watersheds of each individual nhgfv11 flowline catchments. Flowline reach catchment information characterizes data at the local scale using the python tool set called gdptools (McDonald, 2021). Upstream watershed values for each reach catchment were computed using the published python software package Xstrm (Wieferich and others). The following mean daily soil moisture water content layers were processed: 0-10 centimeters, 10-40 centimeters, and 40-100 centimeters.
