Report title: GCIP reference data set (GREDS)
Report number: OFR 94-388
Authors: Alan Rea and Joel R. Cederstrand
Abstract
The data sets on this compact disc are a compilation of several
geographic reference data sets of interest to the global-change
research community. The data sets were chosen with input from the
Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment (GEWEX) Continental-Scale
International Project (GCIP) Data Committee and the GCIP
Hydrometeorology and Atmospheric Subpanels. The data sets include:
locations and periods of record for stream gages, reservoir gages, and
meteorological stations; a 500-meter-resolution digital elevation
model; grid-node locations for the Eta numerical weather-prediction
model; and digital map data sets of geology, land use, streams, large
reservoirs, average annual runoff, average annual precipitation,
average annual temperature, average annual heating and cooling degree
days, hydrologic units, and state and county boundaries. Also
included are digital index maps for LANDSAT scenes, and for the
U.S. Geological Survey 1:250,000, 1:100,000, and 1:24,000-scale map
series. Most of the data sets cover the conterminous United States;
the digital elevation model also includes part of southern Canada.
The stream and reservoir gage and meteorological station files cover
all states having area within the Mississippi River Basin plus that
part of the Mississippi River Basin lying within Canada. Several
data-base retrievals were processed by state, therefore many sites
outside the Mississippi River Basin are included.
