Corresponding peer-reviewed publication

This dataset consists of output files of the study reported in:

Tom, M., David, C.H., Marlis, K.M., Zimdars, P.A., Bonassies, Q., Wade, J., Cerbelaud, A., Pavelsky T., Huang, T. (In Review), Numerical Modeling as a Service on the Cloud: A Case Study of River Modeling.

SummaryThis dataset contains the results of RAPID river discharge simulations (January 1980, February 1980) for the Mississippi river basin using the CURRNT framework. The surface and subsurface runoff data were retrieved from NASA GLDAS Phase 2 dataset (Rodell et al., 2004) at a 3-hourly temporal resolution.

Software

The software used to produce the files in this dataset is available at https://github.com/czarmanu/currnt.

Study domain

The files in this dataset correspond to Mississippi River Basin.

Description of files

All files below were prepared by Manu Tom, using the software mentioned above.1980-01

GLDAS_VIC_3H_1980-01_utc.nc4.  This netCDF file contains averaged and concatenated GLDAS 3-hourly products (1.0 degree, version 2.0, downloaded from NASA Earthdata using NSIDC earthaccess library) for January 1980.

Qinit_pfaf_74_GLDAS_VIC_3H_1980-01.nc. This netCDF file contains the initial state of RAPID (zeros populated for Qout).

Qout_pfaf_74_GLDAS_VIC_3H_1980-01.nc. This netCDF file contains the 3-hourly averaged outputs (in cubic meters per second) for January 1980 from RAPID corresponding to the downstream point of each reach.

m3_riv_pfaf_74_GLDAS_VIC_3H_1980-01_utc.nc4. This netCDF file contains the 3-hourly accumulated inflows of water (in cubic meters) for January 1980 from surface and subsurface runoff into the upstream point of each river reach.
