National Hydrologic Model's United States-Canada Transboundary Geospatial Fabric Parameter Database

Metadata Updated: July 6, 2024

This metadata record documents a set of 118 comma delimited files and a data dictionary describing the inputs for the U.S. Geological Survey Precipitation Runoff Modeling System (PRMS) which is used to drive the National Hydrologic Model (NHM) for the United States-Canada transboundary ___domain. The National Hydrologic Model database contains parameters for hydrologic response units (HRUs) and stream segments needed to run the NHM. These parameters are generated using python scripts to process input datasets such as digital elevation models, soil maps, and land cover classifications. Many of the parameters were left at their default model value as they would need to be calibrated as part of the PRMS model development process. Please refer to the Supplemental Information and the Process Description elements of this metadata record for more details on the source datasets and scripts used to generate these parameters.
