HydroDS Documentation

This document provides brief descriptions of HydroDS, a data processing web-based service for distributed/gridded hydrological models. HydroDS enables the generation of distributed (gridded) data for variables commonly used in hydrologic models in three widely used file formats: GeoTiff raster, shapefile, and multi-dimensional NetCDF. HydroDS provides functions for watershed delineation, terrain processing, estimation of canopy variables, and retrieval of climate data. The functions can be used independently or chained together to form a workflow that performs a set of related tasks.
