Daily streamflow performance benchmark defined by D-score (v0.1) for the NHM (v1 byObs Muskingum) at benchmark streamflow locations

This data release contains the D-score (version 0.1) daily streamflow performance benchmark results for the National Hydrologic Model Infrastructure application of the Precipitation-Runoff Modeling System (NHM-PRMS) version 1 "byObs" calibration with Muskingum routing (Hay and LaFontaine, 2020) computed at streamflow benchmark locations (version 1.0) as defined by Foks and others (2022). Model error was determined by evaluating predicted daily mean streamflow versus observed daily mean streamflow. Using those errors, the D-score performance benchmark computes the mean squared logarithmic error (MSLE), then decomposes the overall MSLE into orthogonal components such as bias, distribution, and sequence (Hodson and others, 2021). For easier interpretation, the MSLE components can be passed through a scoring function as described in Hodson and others (2021).
