Abstract

The Vegetation/Ecosystem Modeling and Analysis Project (VEMAP) is an ongoing multi-institutional, international effort addressing the response of biogeography and biogeochemistry models to environmental variability in climate and other drivers in both space and time domains. The VEMAP input database for the Phase I model intercomparison includes compiled and model-generated datasets of long-term mean climate, soils, vegetation, and climate change scenarios for the conterminous United States. The data are on a 0.5 degree latitude/longitude grid. The data files include a VEMAP User's Guide, selected data and model output images, and README files under each data subdirectory to explain individual files. Updates and additional information on VEMAP can be found at http://www.cgd.ucar.edu/vemap. Development of the VEMAP database was supported by NASA, Electronic Power Research Institute (EPRI), USDA Forest Service, and NSF through the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research's Climate System Modeling Program.

Foundational Dataset for Developing Large-Sample Stream Temperature Models in the Conterminous United States

Dataset Gomez-Velez, Jesus ; Siddik, Md Abu Bakar ; Turner, Sean ; ...

This dataset provides inputs, evaluation results, and trained weights from a large-sample Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) model designed to predict daily stream temperatures across unregulated river reaches in the conterminous United States (CONUS). It includes dynamic meteorological and hydrologic forcings, static physiographic attributes, and model outputs from cross-validation experiments spanning 300 basins. It supports reproducible modeling, direct application for new basins, and provides data suitable for integration with reservoir and river simulations under current and future climates. It contains two .zip files described below · RQ-AI_runs.zip: Model outputs from 10-fold cross-validation experiments, including observed and predicted daily stream temperatures, alongmore »« less
Stanford Thermal Earth Model for the Conterminous United States

Dataset Aljubran, Mohammad ; Horne, Roland

Provided here are various forms of the Stanford Thermal Earth Model, as well as the data and methods used for its creation. The predictions produced by this model were visualized in two-dimensional spatial maps across the modeled depths (0-7 km) for the conterminous United States. The thermal earth model is made available as an application programming interface (API) and as feature layers on ArcGIS, which are both provided via links below. A data-driven spatial interpolation algorithm based on physics-informed graph neural networks was used to develop these national temperature-at-depth maps. The model satisfied the three-dimensional heat conduction law by predictingmore »« less

The LAKE model input dataset for three Arctic lakes

Dataset JAFAROV, ELCHIN ; Clark, Jason ; Piliouras, Anastasia ; ...

This dataset contains meteorological data collected for three Arctic lakes and compiled to satisfy input requirements of the LAKE 2.0 model. The dataset was generated to act as a benchmarking dataset for future model-data inter-comparisons. The LAKE 2.0 model simulates temperatures within the water later and the sedimentary layer of a lake. The LAKE2.0. is an open-source code and available to download via this weblike http://tesla.parallel.ru/Viktor/LAKE/-/wikis/LAKE-model (last visit July 14, 2021). The meteorological data are required to simulate the surface energy balance at the surface of a lake. This dataset includes a compilation of the meteorological data pulled from multiplemore »« less
