      <abstract>A 2016 update was made to the GSFLOW model documented in SIR 2013-5159, which is 
available online ( https://pubs.usgs.gov/sir/2013/5159/ ). The original GSFLOW model was 
created to simulate climate changes effects on streamflow, lake budgets, and stream 
temperature in the Trout Lake Watershed, Wisconsin. The computer code GSFLOW 
(Groundwater/Surface-water FLOW) was used to simulate the coupled hydrologic system; 
a surface-water model represented hydrologic processes in the atmosphere, at land surface, 
and within the soil-zone, and a groundwater-flow model represented the unsaturated zone, 
saturated zone, stream, and lake budgets. The coupled GSFLOW model was calibrated by 
using heads, streamflows, lake levels, actual evapotranspiration rates, solar radiation, and 
snowpack measurements collected during water years 1998–2007; calibration was performed 
by using advanced features present in the PEST parameter estimation software suite. The 
updated model for this data release extended the simulation period to 1975-2015 (first 13 
years discarded as spin-up) as compared to 1988-2007 (first 12 years discarded as spinup) 
for the original GSFLOW model of SIR 2013-5159.</abstract>
      <purpose>The model was updated to better simulate groundwater inflow to five lakes (Allequash, Big 
Muskellunge, Crystal, Sparkling, and Trout Lakes) in the Northern Temperate Lakes long term 
ecological research site for the lake nitrogen study discussed in the Powers and others (2017) 
journal article (https://doi.org/10.1002/lol2.10048). The updated model extended the simulation 
period to 1975-2015 (first 13 years discarded as spin-up) as compared to 1988-2007 (first 12 
years discarded as spinup). The development of the original model input and output is discussed 
in SIR 2013-5129 with updates discussed in the readme.txt file of this model archive. The updated 
input and output files are included in this data release.</purpose>
      <supplinf>Support is provided for correcting errors in the data release and clarification of the modeling 
conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey. Users are encouraged to review the model documentation 
report to understand the purpose, construction, and limitations of this model. The models will run 
successfully only if the original directory structure is correctly restored. The model archive is broken 
into several pieces to reduce the likelihood of download timeouts. Instructions for reconstructing the 
original directory structure and running the models included in this data release and described in the 
model documentation report can be found in the readme.txt ASCII file which can be downloaded as 
part of this data release.</supplinf>
