Process-based water temperature predictions in the Midwest US: 2 Model configurations (lake metadata and parameter values)

Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Metadata Last Checked: January 27, 2026 | Last Modified: 2021-07-27T00:00:00Z
This dataset provides model specifications used to estimate water temperature from the process-based model, General Lake Model verion 2 (Hipsey et al. 2019) using calibrated model configurations (PBALL) for 449 lakes and uncalibrated model configurations (PB0) for 7,150 lakes. The format is a single JSON file indexed for each lake based on the "site_id". This dataset is part of a larger data release of lake temperature model inputs and outputs for 7,150 lakes in the U.S. states of Minnesota and Wisconsin (http://dx.doi.org/10.5066/P9CA6XP8).
