Spatial input variables applications for hydrological simulation of south Wyoming watershed: case study of Muddy Creek via MIKE SHE
Abstract
With the abundant online data sources, there are great advantages of hydrological simulation for the American watershed management. Not only are the conventional station-based data conveniently accessible, but also the spatial data provide the great possibility for the hydrological approaches. This case study demonstrates the possible applications and access source for the hydrological modeling, which might be used as reference. The modeling input time series or parameters origins from various sources: precipitation is from TRMM (as spatial input of hydrological model) and NOAA (station-based), evapotranspiration came from (NASA MODIS platform via ArcGIS access), temperature is delivered by NOAA database (station-based) and NASA MODIS (spatial input), the snow mask and depth also can be obtained from NOAA, NASA MODIS and NRCS, discharge data might be from USGS hydro-climate data network (HCDN). The parameters of static state are surely complete such as DEM contributed by STRM of NASA, soil related data from SSURGO and landuse related data obtained from USGS. The different institutes might focus on different aspects, temporal span, geo-locations. But supported by the various sources of data, the hydrological modeling can be setup solidly by interpolating the various data. The daily time step simulation is manually calibrated for 1 year period referred by 4 discharge gauging stations, as well as 1 year of validation period. Simulation resolution is uniformed to 200m*200m cells size according the 2600km2 of watershed domain. The case study demonstrates that the station-based and spatial data could cooperate each other and support the accurate hydrological modeling during. Based on the established model, it can be further extended for the assessment of water quality impact and sediment transportation simulation. The final goal the modeling approach is to serve the land management on hydrological response.
