Forecasts are organized by state, watershed, and forecast point (click headers to sort by column). The 50% exceedance level indicates that there should be an equal chance that the actual runoff volume will be above or below the forecast value, and in general across many years and watersheds, there should be roughly a 20% chance that the total runoff will be outside of the 90-10% exceedance range.

Probabilistic exceedance levels are just one output from DHSVM-WSF. Daily ensemble streamflow traces for each forecast point are provided as CSV files to interested parties on request or in real-time by previous arrangement. Maps of snow, soil moisture, water table depth, evapotranspiration, and many other variables can be provided on request. Written setup, calibration, validation, and forecast reports are similarly provided to contracted customers. To learn more, please contact eli.boardman@mountainhydrology.com.
