Global Machine Learning Prior Files for SWOT Discharge Estimation

Prior values for SWOT discharge estimation were derived from the ensemble mean discharge predicted by two machine learning models, δHBV2 and GRADES-hydroDL (see References for model descriptions). The following prior variables were computed and replaced: max_q min_q mean_q monthly_q (Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec) two_year_return_q flow_duration_q (0.01, 0.06, 0.11, 0.16, ..., 0.91, 0.96) logQ_sd Name ML Discharge Peiord SWORD MLprior_v1.0_SWORDv16 03/31/2023 - 02/28/2025 v16 MLprior_v2.0_SWORDv17 03/31/2023 - 02/28/2025 v17 MLprior_v2.1_SWORDv17 03/31/2023 - 12/31/2025 v17 NOTE: "ML Discharge Period" indicates the period of machine learning predicted discharge used to compute the prior variables
