Input files and PRMS model-run components for the precalibration, byHRU and byPOIobs releases of the Hawai‘i NHM-PRMS, 1980–2021

Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Metadata Last Checked: January 27, 2026 | Last Modified: 2025-01-08T00:00:00Z
This data release contains inputs for and outputs from hydrologic simulations for the Hawai‘i (HI) domain using the Precipitation Runoff Modeling System (PRMS) version 5.2.1.1 and the USGS National Hydrologic Model infrastructure (NHM, Regan and others, 2018). Historical simulations using the Daymet Version 4 gridded estimates of daily weather parameters (Thornton and others, 2020) were produced for the period 1980–2021. These data document the PRMS climate input data files for these simulations. Input files for the simulations include the PRMS parameter file and control file. The main landing page provides additional information and data dictionaries (parameters_data_dictionary.csv and control_data_dictionary.csv) that describe the parameter and control file values. Daymet forcings include precipitation and minimum and maximum temperature at a daily time-step. Available USGS measured streamflow data are included for 196 USGS streamgage locations from 1980–2021 (U.S. Geological Survey, 2022). CONTENTS OF THIS CHILD PAGE: 1. Precip.day = daily total precipitation climate-by-hydrologic response unit (CBH) file 2. Tmax.day = maximum daily temperature CBH file 3. Tmin.day = minimum daily temperature CBH file. 4. sf_data = daily measured USGS streamflow data 5. PRMS Version 5.2.1.1 = PRMS executable 6. HI_precalibration.param = PRMS parameter file for the HI domain precalibration release 7. HI_precalibration.control = PRMS control file for the HI domain precalibration release 8. HI_byHRU.param = PRMS parameter file for the HI domain byHRU release 9. HI_byHRU.control = PRMS control file for the HI domain byHRU release 10. HI_byPOIobs.param = PRMS parameter file for the HI domain byPOIobs release 11. HI_byPOIobs.control = PRMS control file for the HI domain byPOIobs release 12. HI_NHM_PRMS.bat = batch file that can be edited to run the model.
