National Hydrologic Model's Alaskan Geospatial Fabric Parameter Database
The Geospatial Fabric for National Hydrologic Modeling (Viger and Bock, 2014; Bock and others, 2021) is a dataset of hydrographic features and spatial data for use within the National Hydrologic Model that covers the conterminous United States (CONUS), Hawaii, and most major river basins that flow in from Canada. This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) data release consists of the geospatial fabric features and other related spatial datasets created to expand the National Hydrologic Model to Alaska. 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.
