High Resolution Current and Future Climate SnowModel Simulations in the Upper Colorado River Basin
공공데이터포털
This data release contains SnowModel snow evolution simulation output on a 100-meter (m) geospatial grid for a 311 kilometer (km) × 300 km model domain in Colorado, United States, encompassing the Colorado and Gunnison River Basin headwaters in the Upper Colorado River Basin. Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model convection-permitting and orography-resolving (4-km grid spacing) regional climate simulations provided the atmospheric forcing conditions to drive SnowModel in both a current and future climate scenario. A pair of continuous 13-water-year (2001-13) WRF model simulations was utilized: (1) a current climate control (CTL) simulation forced using ERA-Interim reanalysis, and (2) a future climate simulation using the pseudo-global-warming (PGW) method that uses the ERA-Interim reanalysis for the same period as (1) and adds an ensemble mean climate delta from 100 years in the future for the most extreme Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 8.5 scenario. The six SnowModel simulated outputs provided separately as child items in this data release include (1) air temperature (tair), (2) precipitation (prec), (3) precipitation amount falling as snow (spre), (4) snow water equivalent (swed), (5) liquid water supplied to the soil-snow interface from snowmelt (smlt), and (6) liquid water supplied to the soil-snow or soil-air interface either from snowmelt or rainfall (roff). The simulations used to produce these outputs were conducted on a 100-m geospatial grid. Land cover information (file vege.asc) for the simulation was provided by the 2010 North American Land Change Monitoring System and elevation information (file topo.asc) was provided by the U.S. Geological Survey National Elevation Dataset.
SnowModel Simulations for the 2022–23 Water Years, near Coal Creek, San Juan Mountains, Colorado, USA
공공데이터포털
This data release contains SnowModel snow evolution simulation output from water years 2022 to 2023 (October 1, 2021, through September 30, 2023) on a 100-meter (m) geospatial grid for a 3 kilometer (km) × 2 km model domain near Coal Creek off Coal Bank Pass in the San Juan Mountains in southwest Colorado, USA. The three quantities simulated for this release were snow water equivalent for the standard model configuration (swe_standard), snow water equivalent for an open canopy model configuration (swe_open), and incoming shortwave radiation for the open canopy model configuration (qsin_open). The simulation used to produce these outputs was forced using meteorology from the National Land Data Assimilation System (NLDAS-2). Land cover information for the standard simulation was provided by the North American Land Change Monitoring System and land cover for the open canopy model configuration was set to the grassland land cover type. Elevation information was provided by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Elevation Dataset. This research was funded by the Department of the Interior South Central Climate Adaptation Science Center.
Historical (2001-2013) and End-of-Century Future Climate Simulated Snowpack and Hydrometeorology for the Gallatin River, Montana and Wyoming
공공데이터포털
This data release contains output from a numerical snow simulation for a 65 kilometer (km) × 81 km model domain in parts of Montana and Wyoming, United States, encompassing the Gallatin River watershed upstream of the U.S. Geological Survey streamgage near Gallatin Gateway, MT (06043500). Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model convection-permitting and orography-resolving regional climate simulations with 4-km horizontal resolution provided the atmospheric forcing conditions to SnowModel in both a historical and future climate scenario. Two continuous, 13-water-year (2001-2013) WRF model simulations were utilized: (1) a historical climate control (CTL) simulation forced using ERA-Interim reanalysis, and (2) a future climate simulation using the pseudo-global-warming (PGW) method that uses the ERA-Interim reanalysis for the same period as (1) and adds an ensemble mean climate delta from the end of the century (2071-2100) for the most extreme 5th Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 8.5 scenario. The ten SnowModel simulated outputs provided in this data release include (1) air temperature (tair), (2) precipitation (prec), (3) solid precipitation (spre), (4) liquid precipitation (rpre), (5) liquid water supplied to the soil-snow interface from snowmelt (smlt), (6) snow sublimination (ssub), (7) liquid water supplied to the soil-snow or soil-air interface either from snowmelt or rainfall (roff), (8) snow depth (snod), (9) snow water equivalent depth (swed), and (10) snow density (sden). The simulations used to produce these outputs were conducted on a 30-m geospatial grid. Land cover information for the simulation was provided by the 2010 North American Land Change Monitoring System and elevation information was provided by the U.S. Geological Survey National Elevation Dataset. The historical (CTL) and future climate (PGW) simulations were conducted using annual precipitation bias correction surfaces (prec_cf), which were computed by comparing SnowModel-simulated CTL snow water equivalent to Natural Resources Conservation Service snow telemetry station (SNOTEL) observations to generate a precipitation correction that was interpolated using SnowModel.

Simulated snowpack and meteorology at multiple resolutions for three headwater study areas in Colorado, USA, water years 1980-2019
공공데이터포털
This data release includes SnowModel output for three headwater study areas in Colorado at seven spatial resolutions and from two forcing datasets over a 40-year period from water year 1980 to 2019. The resolutions include 30 m, 50 m, 100 m, 150 m, 250 m, 500 m, and 1,000 m. The model was run with a 3-hour temporal resolution from September 1, 1980 to August 31, 2019. Two meteorology forcing datasets were used, including National Land Data Assimilation System-2 at 1/8th degree (about 12 km) resolution data and the Weather Research and Forecasting model data at 4 km resolution. Output variables include snow-water equivalent depth (swed), runoff (roff), air temperature (tair), snow-covered area (sca), snow depth (snod), precipitation (prec), and liquid precipitation (rpre). Additionally, topography and vegetation datasets are included for each combination of unique domain and resolution, as well as the model parameterization file for a representative year. The data are organized by water year (WY) for each forcing type. For example, 'XXXX_wyYYYY.zip', where XXXX is either NLDAS2 or WRFCTL, and YYYY is the water year, with each water year including subdirectories for each of the three headwater study areas ('ER', 'FR', and 'SB' for East River, Fraser River, and Senator Beck, respectively). Each headwater study area subdirectory contains a subdirectory for each spatial resolution ('30', '50', '100', '150', '250', '500', '1000'), and each of those subdirectories contains NetCDF files for the seven variables modeled at that resolution. For example,'SA_RES_VAR_wyYYYY.nc', where SA is one of the three headwater study areas, RES is one of the seven spatial resolutions, VAR is one of the seven output variables, and YYYY is the water year.
