CONUS Gridded Reference Evapotranspiration Bias Correction: Inputs, Station Validation, and Outputs (gridMET/OpenET)

This Zenodo record archives the complete input data (Data/) and the full set of generated outputs (Plots/) associated with the GitHub repository Open-ET/gridMET-bias-correction. What this record is for To view the full study results without running any code: download and extract the Plots/ archive. All figures and intermediate plot products produced by the repository workflows are included. To reproduce (re-create) the Plots/ outputs from scratch: you must set up the GitHub repository environment, extract this record’s Data/ archive into the repository Data/ directory, and run the analysis scripts provided in the repository. Contents Data/ (inputs): All datasets required by the analysis scripts (station time series, metadata, supporting layers, and intermediate inputs used by the workflows). Plots/ (outputs): All figures and intermediate plot products generated by executing the repository scripts. This is provided so users can inspect results directly without executing the code. gridMET-bias-correction-1.0.0(source code): Python Source code of the code base that is used to reproduce all outputs from the inputs provided. This is the release of Open-ET/gridMET-bias-correction repository that was generated at the time of the first version of this record. Reproducing the outputs (optional) To regenerate the contents of Plots/: Clone the GitHub repository: https://github.com/Open-ET/gridMET-bias-correction Create the software environment as described in the repository documentation. Extract this record’s Data/ archive into the repository so the path is: <repo_root>/Data/… Run the analysis scripts in gridMET-bias-correction/gridmetbias/ to recreate the figures and other plot outputs.
