Saturation overland flow estimated by TOPMODEL for the conterminous United States
Description
This 5-kilometer resolution raster (grid) dataset for the conterminous United States
represents the average percentage of saturation overland flow in total streamflow
estimated by the watershed model TOPMODEL. Saturation overland flow is simulated
in TOPMODEL as precipitation that falls on saturated land-surface areas and enters
the stream channel.
TOPMODEL was applied to 5- by 5-kilometer areas across the conterminous United States
using national climate, soils, and terrain GIS datasets. The model was run for 1,000 days for
each 5- by 5-kilometer area. The average percentage of saturation overland flow in total
streamflow was computed for the 1,000-day simulation in each grid cell.
