    • Abstract

  • The VIC model was run over the upper area of the Churchill River Basin daily from January 1 1976 to December 31 2005. The area modeled was the Churchill River basin upstream from the WSC Gauge 06CD002 (CHURCHILL RIVER ABOVE OTTER RAPIDS, SK, 55.646390,-104.734720). Basin fits into the bounds of 57.8729N to 53.1229N and 111.317W to 104.317W. Grid spacing of VIC output is 0.125 degrees (1327 grid points in total). For information and documentation on the VIC model please visit http://www.hydro.washington.edu/Lettenmaier/Models/VIC/index.shtml. For more information on output file formats see http://www.hydro.washington.edu/Lettenmaier/Models/VIC/Documentation/Outputs.shtml for more information of output file formats. For information on this specific model run please contact Hassan (AKM) Bhuiyan (akmh.bhuiyan@gmail.com) directly.
