Kentucky Stream Statistics and Temperature and Precipitation Model: 

Kentucky Stream Statistics and Temperature and Precipitation Model Kentucky Watershed Modeling Information Portal

StreamStats (stream statistics): 

StreamStats (stream statistics) Online data describing hydrology in Kentucky http://kygeonet.ky.gov/kyhydro/viewer.htm Data available: Dams, springs, wells USGS gaging stations (some with links) Sinkholes (area and perimeter) Surface water and ground water sources Information relating to land cover Hydrologic units (HUCs) Basin information including area, peak low estimates and low flow estimates (under construction) SPARROW Model (Nitrogen and Phosphorus loadings) –under construction

Slide3: 


StreamStats “Stream Data” layer: 

StreamStats 'Stream Data' layer Drainage area (sq. miles) Q2 – Q500 peak flow estimates

Slide5: 


StreamStats “Stream Reach Drainage Areas” layer: 

StreamStats 'Stream Reach Drainage Areas' layer Mean and accumulated basin elevation Mean and accumulated basin slope Basin and accumulated area Basin imperviousness (KLS) percentage for basin and accumulated area Mean and accumulated wetness index

Slide7: 


Temperature and Precipitation Model: 

Temperature and Precipitation Model

What can this used for?: 

What can this used for? Trends analysis Frequency analysis Hydrologic/hydraulic design Rainfall-runoff models Water-quality models Water budgets

What climate records are available?: 

What climate records are available? Daily maximum temperatures Daily minimum temperatures Precipitation depths

Source code: 

Source code Distance-weighting approach (Lauren Hay, USGS 1998) using X-Y-Z data More robust than classical area-polygon methods Converted from FORTRAN 77 to FORTRAN 95 .NET

Data: 

Data Data retrieved from National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, NC Daily rainfall records from COOP network (NWS TD3200) Hourly rainfall records from first-order NWS network (NWS TD3240) Error checking using tools developed by Martyn Clark, University of Colorado

Graphical user interface (GUI):
