Arkansas and Red River Basins Dataset

This file describes data currently available on our anonymous ftp server. Data made available was originally used by Fayez Abdulla in his Ph.D. thesis, Regionalization of a Macroscale Hydrological Model, University of Washington, July 1995. As this page progresses links will be made to the data, processing software, and information about data formats. If you have problems, or questions, please contact me at hydro@hydro.washington.edu

For more information about working with the Surface Airways data in these files, check out the surface airways data page. Source code for programs discussed in this document are included in the file sawd.source.tar (size 19295), while the necessary information files are included in sawd.runfiles.tar (size 3320).

STATSGO Soils Data

The file ArkRedHD.tar.gz (1.1 Megs) contains the extracted soil texture (from STATSGO data). Individual soil files are:

  1. sand_arkred: in percent
  2. clay_arkred: in percent
  3. silt_arkred: in percent
  4. bulk_density_arkred
  5. pm_arkred: soil permeability
  6. awc_arkred: Available water capacity
  7. hgb_arkred: hydrologic group B
  8. hgd_arkred: hydrologic group D
  9. hgc_arkred: hydrologic group C

these files were created using an Albers projection with a 2 Km resoultion. The following header should be appended to the start of the file for use with GRASS (GIS):

While the second header is for use with Arc/Info:

These data files were created using the program soil_regional.f. For more information about the data files, please consult the program header.
