Summary

This data release is the update of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) - ScienceBase data release Bera (2019b), with the processed data for the period October 1, 2017, through September 30, 2018. This data release describes the watershed data management (WDM) database file WBDR18.WDM. The WDM database file WBDR17.WDM (Bera, 2019b) is updated with the quality-assured and quality-controlled meteorological and hydrologic data for the period October 1, 2017, through September 30, 2018, following the guidelines documented in Bera (2017) and is renamed as WBDR18.WDM. Meteorological data other than precipitation (wind speed, solar radiation, air temperature, dew point temperature, and potential evapotranspiration) are copied from ARGN18.WDM [...]

Purpose

The datasets in this database may be used as input to the Hydrological Simulation Program-FORTRAN (HSPF) model or other similar rainfall-runoff model for simulating streamflow in DuPage County and nearby areas in northeastern Illinois. This database will be available to the public and other cooperators for doing similar simulations or meteorological analyses.
