Water-Depth Data

Users can obtain two types of water-depth data using EDEN:

Daily Maps of Water Depth

Example of EDEN water-depth map

Example EDEN water-depth map.

Users can download daily water-depth maps 1) in the table below and 2) through the EDEN THREDDS Data Server. The EDEN project also provides a tool, Depth&DaysSinceDry, that allows users to create their own daily water-depth maps by using the EDEN water surface and ground elevation model (DEM) netCDF files. Daily water-depth maps are computed by subtracting the ground elevation from the daily water level for each EDEN grid cell (400 meters by 400 meters); negative water level values are shifted to zero.

EDEN surfaces are served mainly as NetCDF (Network Common Data Form) files, a set of freely-distributed software libraries and machine-independent binary data formats that support the creation, access, and sharing of large array-oriented scientific data. Each file contains 3 months (one quarter-year) of daily datasets. For example, the data for every day in 2020 will be stored in 4 files: 2020_q1_depth.nc, 2020_q2_depth.nc, 2020_q3_depth.nc, and 2020_q4_depth.nc.

Water-Depth NetCDF Files

File naming conventions:

  • v# = version of surface water model (v2 or v3),
  • prov = provisional,
  • rt = real-time

Note: You may download a year's worth of data all at once. Simply click the link below for each year. Because of file size limits, the most you can download at one time is a year. If you need to download several year's worth of data at once, please contact Bryan McCloskey (bmccloskey@usgs.gov) and other arrangements can be made.
