(HS 8) Comparative Evaluation of Data Consistency: Conventional vs. Server-side Methods for Exposing Large Extent Spatial Datasets to Models

This HydroShare resource aims to assess data consistency among two server-side methods (GeoServer and THREDDS Data Server) and the conventional data distribution approach (manually collecting and sharing at file-level). The evaluation spans three different-sized watersheds: Coweeta subbasin18, Scotts Level Branch, and Spout Run with 10, 30, and 60 m DEM resolutions, respectively. The workflow for resulting nine case studies, derived from the combination of three methods and three watersheds, are presented in one HydroShare resource (HS 7), yielding a total of nine RHESSys daily streamflow output files.

Within this resource, we include these nine output files and provide three Jupyter notebooks for conducting evaluations. Each notebook is dedicated to a specific watershed and focuses on the three methods, facilitating a comprehensive analysis of data consistency.
