    • Multivariate Adaptive Constructed Analogs (MACA) Upstream Monthly Water Balance Model data 1950-2005

    Metadata Updated: January 7, 2026

    This tabular data set represents monthly water balance model outputs over the period 1950-2005 compiled for NHDPlus version 2 data suite (NHDPlusv2) catchments. This dataset can be linked to the NHDPlusv2 by the unique identifier COMIDin the flowline shapefiles or FEATUREID in the catchment ones in the NHDPlusV2 data suite. The source data is CMIP5 MACAv2-METDATA Monthly Water Balance Model Projections 1950-2099 for the Contiguous United States (Alder & Hostetler, 2021). Variables summarized are: actual evapotranspiration, evapotranspiration deficit, potential evapotranspiration, runoff, snow water equivalent, and soil moisture storage. Six General Circulation Models (GCMs) are summarized for each variable: BNU-ESM, HadGEM2-ES365, inmcm4, MRI-CGCM3, MIROC ESM CHEM, and NorESM1-M. Summaries are provided for five regions corresponding to NHDPlus vector processing units (VPUs): VPU 02 (Mid-Atlantic), VPU 03w (South Atlantic West), VPU 04 (Great Lakes), VPU 14 (Upper Colorado), and VPU 17 (Pacific Northwest).
