Name: NOAA National Water Model Reanalysis
Description: |
  The NOAA National Water Model Reanalysis dataset contains output
  from a 25-year retrospective simulation (January 1993 through
  December 2017) of version 1.2 of the National Water Model. This
  simulation used observed rainfall as input and ingested other
  required meteorological input fields from a weather Reanalysis
  dataset. The output frequency and fields available in this
  historical NWM dataset differ from those contained in the
  real-time forecast model. One application of this dataset is
  to provide historical context to current real-time streamflow,
  soil moisture and snowpack NWM conditions. The Reanalysis data
  can be used to infer flow frequencies and perform temporal analyses
  with hourly streamflow output and 3-hourly land surface output. The
  long-term dataset can also be used in the development of end user
  applications which require a long baseline of data for system
  training or verification purposes. **Both the newer v2.0 and original
  version of this dataset are available.**
