Delaware River Basin Stream Salinity Machine Learning Models and Data
This model archive contains the input data, model code, and model outputs for machine learning models that predict daily non-tidal stream salinity (specific conductance) for a network of 459 modeled stream segments across the Delaware River Basin (DRB) from 1984-09-30 to 2021-12-31. There are a total of twelve models from combinations of two machine learning models (Random Forest and Recurrent Graph Convolution Neural Networks), two training/testing partitions (spatial and temporal), and three input attribute sets (dynamic attributes, dynamic and static attributes, and dynamic attributes and a minimum set of static attributes). In addition to the inputs and outputs for non-tidal predictions provided on the landing page, we also provide example predictions for models trained with additional tidal stream segments within the model archive (TidalExample folder), but we do not recommend our models for this use case. Model outputs contained within the model archive include performance metrics, plots of spatial and temporal errors, and Shapley (SHAP) explainable artificial intelligence plots for the best models. The results of these models provide insights into DRB stream segments with elevated salinity, and processes that drive stream salinization across the DRB, which may be used to inform salinity management.
This data compilation was funded by the USGS.
