Abstract

This resource contains five R-markdown scripts that process and analyze the connections between MERIT Hydro River reaches of the Mississippi River for Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite observable rivers. The first code calculates the cumulative amount of urban land area for each reach in the basin. The second code relates the reaches, linking them based on drainage area ratios between 0.01 and 100. It filters these relationships based on whether a SWOT measurement could be donated from one location to the other via the drainage area ratio method, dam locations, and the amount of urban area between locations. Then, the potential increase in SWOT observations throughout the basin is calculated. The third code takes 373 gauges in the river basin and calculates Kling-Gupta Efficiency (KGE) values assessing the potential of using the drainage area ratio method among the gauges. The fourth assesses the impact dams, reservoirs, and urban area have on KGE values obtained. Finally, the fifth code expands simulated SWOT time series using the qualified drainage area ratio method and compares the expansion to daily discharges by first transforming each time series into a Log Pearson Type III distribution. KGE values between quantiles of each distribution are calculated and the Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Student t significance tests are performed. These codes and their associated text files serve as the resources for the study, "Leveraging river network topology and regionalization to expand SWOT-derived river discharge time series in the Mississippi River Basin" (doi:10.3390/rs13081590).

The following is a composite resource for the study 
"Leveraging river network topology and regionalization to expand SWOT-derived river discharge time series in the Mississippi River Basin"


----------------------------
Code (R markdown files)
----------------------------
1_Urban_area_per_COMID.Rmd
- calculates the cumulative amount of urban surface area for each reach in the basin

2_Relating_reaches_analysis.Rmd
- relates the reaches, linking them based on drainage area ratios between 0.01 and 100.
- filters these relationships based on whether a SWOT measurement could be donated from one location to the other 
  via the drainage area ratio method, dam locations, and the amount of urban area between locations.
- the potential increase in SWOT observations throughout the basin is calculated

3_Find_KGE_and_compare_gauges.Rmd

- assesses the potential of using the drainage area ratio method among the gauges

4_Dams_urban_area_impact.Rmd
- assesses the impact dams, reservoirs, and urban area have on KGE values obtained

5_Expanded_SWOT_gauge_timeseries_analysis.Rmd
- expands simulated SWOT time series using the qualified drainage area ratio method 
- compares the expansion to daily discharges by first transforming each time series into a Log Pearson Type III distribution
- KGE values between quantiles of each distribution are calculated 
- Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Student t significance tests are performed
- Peak analysis is performed
 

-----------------------------
GIS    *indicates folder*
-----------------------------
*Gauge Shapefiles*
- Observation_per_orbit_cycle.shp <-- contains original 454 USGS gauges
- Obs_per_orbit_373.shp <-- 373 gauges, subset of original 454. Made by joining Observation_per_orbit_cycle.shp and Gauges_join_COMID.txt
- Gauges_join_COMID.txt <-- all gauges and COMID's related (COMIDs pertain to MERIT Hydro reaches)
- Gauges_join_COMID_filtered.txt <- only 373 gauges but same as above.

*GRanD*
-reservoir and dam shapefiles from Lehner et al. (2011) 

*GROD US*
- shapefile created from csv of dams and infrastructure from Whittemore et al. (2020)

*MERIT Hydro*
-stream file (riv_pfaf....), for the study, I used a definition query to only see reaches whose upstream drainage area is greater than 1,000 sqkm
-catchment file (cat_pfaf...)
-from Yamazaki et al. (2019)

*MODIS Urban and Built Up Lands*
-urban and built up lands shapefile called "impa_perc_5km" that indicates the percentage of Urban and Built-Up Lands per 5 km

*SWOT Orbit*
-orbit shapefile (SWOT21day....)

(any mention of "impA" in any code indicates urban area, originally meant to indicate impervious area, but the data set is actually indicating urban area, not necessarily impervious)
