description: Data repository for: Rakovec, O., Mizukami, N., Kumar, R., Newman, A., Thober, S., Wood, A. W., et al. ( 2019). Diagnostic evaluation of large‐domain hydrologic models calibrated across the contiguous United States. <em>Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres</em>, 2019; 124: 13991–14007. https://doi.org/10.1029/2019JD030767 If you use this dataset in scientific publication, the aforementioned publication needs to be acknowledged. <strong>rakovec_JGRA_2019.tar.gz </strong>refers to the mHM model simulations <strong>Mizukami_etal_2017_WRR_results.calib.basin.tar.gz</strong> refers to a dataset published earlier in Mizukami et al.
