Yellowstone Synthetic Rating Curve Analysis

These are the data used for the analysis of globally derived synthetic rating curves (SRCs) in the Journal of Flood Risk Management study.

The 'Yellowstone_Basin' folder contains the data used to analyze SRCs at 29 stream gages throughout the Yellowstone basin.

The 'Yellowstone_2022_Floods' folder contains the data used to analyze the 2022 Yellowstone floods with SRCs and U. S. Geological Survey (USGS) high water marks.

All digital elevation model (DEM) data used are originally from the Forest and Buildings removed Copernicus DEM (FABDEM) version 1.2 (https://data.bris.ac.uk/data/dataset/s5hqmjcdj8yo2ibzi9b4ew3sn).

All synthetic streamflow data are from the GEOGLOW ECWMF Streamflow Service Version 2 (https://geoglows.ecmwf.int/).

USGS streamflow data were accessed using the Python library dataretrieval-python (https://github.com/DOI-USGS/dataretrieval-python).

Land cover data were accessed using the European Space Agency (ESA) WorldCover applied programming interface (API) (https://esa-worldcover.org/en/data-access).
