Watershed Data Management (WDM) Database (SC17.WDM) for Salt Creek Streamflow Simulation, DuPage County, Illinois, January 1, 1997, through September 30, 2017
type: Dataset
description: This data release is the update of the U.S. Geological Survey - ScienceBase data release Bera (2018), with the processed data for the period October 1, 2016, through September 30, 2017. This data release describes the watershed data management (WDM) database SC17.WDM. The precipitation data are collected from a tipping-bucket rain-gage network and the hydrologic data (stage and discharge) are collected at USGS streamflow-gaging stations in and around DuPage County, Illinois. Hourly precipitation and hydrologic data for the period October 1, 2016, through September 30, 2017, are processed following the guidelines described in Bera (2014) and appended to SC16.WDM and renamed as SC17.WDM. Meteorological data (wind speed, solar radiation, air temperature, dewpoint temperature, and potential evapotranspiration) from October 1, 2016, through September 30, 2017, are copied from ARGN17.WDM and appended to SC17.WDM. Bera and Over (2018) describes the processing of the meteorological data in the database file ARGN17.WDM. Data in dataset number (DSN) 107 and 801–810 are used in comparisons of precipitation data. DSN 107 contains hourly precipitation data collected at Argonne National Laboratory at Argonne, Illinois. DSN 801-810 contains the processed Next Generation Weather Radar (NEXRAD)-multisensor precipitation estimates (MPE) data from 10 NEXRAD–MPE subbasins in the Salt Creek watershed as described in Bera and Ortel (2018). Data in these DSNs are not quality-assured and quality-controlled. The data are downloaded and uploaded daily into a WDM database that is used for the real-time streamflow simulation system. Data from DSN 107 and801-810 are copied from this WDM and stored in SC17.WDM. DSN 107 and 801-810 are updated with the data through September 30, 2017. Data in DSN 5400 (water-surface elevation at the quarry) and 5700 (water surface elevation at Thorndale) are updated through September 30, 2017, similarly (Murphy and Ishii, 2006). Each rain gage station uses one of…
