WY 1985 Baseline CONUS1 simulation

A simulation of water year 1985 completed with the ParFlow CONUS1 model. This was the first transient simulation that was completed with the ParFlow CONUS1 model. The simulation was completed using the NLDAS2 forcing dataset at 1km resolution and a 1 hour time step. This dataset contains all of the outputs from the simulation as well as the ParFlow and CLM run scripts. The model inputs can be found in the conus1_domain dataset. Refer to the citations below for additional information on the model development and findings.
