Abstract
The notebooks in this resource have been developed to retrieve precipitation, air temperature, and snow water equivalent measured at Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) SNOTEL sites by calling associated Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Science, Inc (CUAHSI) web services.

This resource has three folders: input, code, and output.
Input:
The input folder contains two CSV files.
-
SNOTEL_indices_at_NWM.csv: This file includes site information used in the scripts.
-
NRCS_SNOTEL_Joint_w_CEC.csv: This file includes information about SNOTEL station code, station latitude and longitude, and associated ecoregions provided by the Commission for Environmental Corporation (CEC).
Code:
The code folder contains three Jupyter Notebooks.
-
SNOTEL_Download_Retrieve_swe_p_snowdepth.ipynb: This notebook downloads the observed precipitation and snow water equivalent for SNOTEL sites within a specified ecoregion. The input NRCS_SNOTEL_Joint_w_CEC.csv. In this script, the main function changes the units from inch to mm. The results are CSV files for each variable for each ecoregion. For each variable, the outputs of this notebook are merged into one CSV file, which is available in the ./output folder.
-
SNOTEL_Download_Retrieve_temp.ipynb: This notebook downloads the observed air temperature data for SNOTEL sites within a specified ecoregion. The input NRCS_SNOTEL_Joint_w_CEC.csv. In this script, the main function changes the units from F to C. The results are CSV files for each variable for each ecoregion. For each variable, the outputs of this notebook are merged into one CSV file, which is available in the ./output folder.
-
SNOTEL_Pre-Processing.ipynb: This notebook uses the input file, called SNOTEL_indices_at_NWM.csv within the input directory, as well as the downloaded CSV files available at ./output/downloads to create a single file for each variable that includes site information and variable values. The outputs of this notebook are available at ./output/preprocessed.
Output:
The output folder contains two folders and one CSV file.
-
downloads folder: This folder contains three CSV files.
- SNOTEL_P_all_sites.csv: The observed daily precipitation at SNOTEL sites, downloaded from https://www.hydroshare.org/resource/d1fe0668734e4892b066f198c4015b06/ and merged into one CSV file.
- SNOTEL_SWE_all_sites.csv: The observed daily snow water equivalent at SNOTEL sites, downloaded from https://www.hydroshare.org/resource/d1fe0668734e4892b066f198c4015b06/ and merged into one CSV file.
- SNOTEL_T_all_sites.csv: The observed daily average air temperature at SNOTEL sites, downloaded from https://www.hydroshare.org/resource/d1fe0668734e4892b066f198c4015b06/ and merged into one CSV file.
-
preprocessed folder: This folder contains three CSV files, which are outputs of the SNOTEL_Pre-Processing.ipynb jupyter notebook.
