45. What is HydroGET? • A web service client for ESRI‘s ArcGIS environment. • Harvests time series data from data repositories on the web and stores them in the ArcHydro data model. • Default Mode: Downloads data from national data sources to describe components of the hydrological cycle. Atmospheric data from Daymet or Unidata Surface data from USGS NWIS Subsurface data from USGS NWIS Illustration courtesy of the United States Geological Survey • Custom Mode: Downloads data from any combination of CUAHSI web services to describe other properties (e.g. biological) of a study area.
46. HydroGet
47. HydroGET Interface Types of data and sources Main Interface User inputs GIS layer that contains points of interest. Atmospheric data from Daymet and Unidata Default Mode Target geodatabase for downloaded data Surface data from USGS NWIS List of variables of interest (each tab holds a different set of variables) Subsurface data from USGS NWIS Data from user- specified sources for single point Custom Mode Period of interest Data from user- specified sources for multipoints
48. Assembling data for hydrological insights Precipitation data from watershed centroids Precipitation (cm) Streamflow data from USGS gages. Streamflow (cfs) Groundwater data from USGS wells. Groundwater level (m above ground surface)
49. What is MySelect? • A featureclass with an attribute table that contains query parameters for downloading and storing web service data. • Each record in the table is one web service request. • A MySelect table can have several requests, essentially making it a shopping list for environmental data. Get precipitation Get streamflow Get groundwater level
50.
