This project addresses the research priority on the national-scale evaluation of the water budget
\nwith emphasis on CONUS404. The proposed research involves comparing CONUS404 water-
\nbudget components against in-situ and remotely-sensed observations as well as data from other
\nreanalysis and gridded datasets. Comparisons will be done at several spatial and temporal units of
\nAnalysis of the U.S. water budget using CONUS404 analysis.<\/p>\n
This proposal will implement two different methods to quantify uncertainties and errors,
\nTriple Collocation and Numerical Moment Matching. First, we will study uncertainties and biases
\nfor each one of the components in the water budget equation independently. Second, we will study
\nhow the component-wise calculated errors are correlated. In addition, this project will perform
\nstorm frequency analysis using CONUS404 data and compare the results against values reported
\nin NOAA Atlas 14. There is a version of CONUS404 with bias-corrected precipitation and
\ntemperature (using DAYMET and PRISM, Grim et al. 2022). The proposed work will provide a
\nmore robust evaluation of CONUS404 precipitation since it is based on multiple gridded datasets.
\nIn addition, this project will also assess bias and uncertainties of all the other components of the
\nwater budget. Resources from this project will help to train a PhD student and the project results
\nwill be disseminated through the collaboration with the USGS co-PIs, journal articles, and
\nconference presentations. In addition, the project will develop a web-based app to facilitate the
\ndissemination of the project findings. Co-PIs are involved with the evaluation team of the Hydro-
\nTerrestrial Earth System Testbed (HyTEST) project of the USGS Water Mission Area (WMA),
\nand the Illinois River Basin Integrated Water Availability Assessment (IWAA). These two
\nprojects, as well as others at the USGS, stand to benefit from the proposed research.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
