Hydroclimate Over the Great Salt Lake Subbasins

This resource holds data and codes for the hydroclimate analyses reported in in the MS Thesis:
Ghimire, B., (2025), \"Investigating Changes in Hydroclimate, Land Cover, and Evapotranspiration across The Great Salt Lake Basin and its Major Subbasins,\" Civil and Environmental Engineering, Utah State University.

It contains the data and Python codes used to extract hydroclimate variables for the subbasins of the Great Salt Lake Basin. Precipitation, air temperature and evapotranspiration were extracted from ClimateEngine, while streamflow was from the USGS. These hydroclimatic variables were averaged over the water years for the period of 2004 to 2021. This data was used to analyze the water balance and hydroclimatic trends over the river basins that drain to GSL to investigate causes for changes in lake level.
