Instructions
Start HydroClient
Open the internet browser on your computer and go to the HydroClient URL at data.cuahsi.org . The HydroClient uses the Google Maps interface as shown below.
Define Geographic Location
Use the "Enter a location" search box at the top left of the screen to zoom to a geographic area. This example uses Portage County, OH. Type this or another location in the search box and press enter. You will notice the Map zooms to the location of interest as shown below.
Define Search Criteria
In the tool bar on the right side of the screen, specify your search criteria.Click Select Date Range: Enter a range From: 03/01/2014 To: 04/30/2014
Click Select Data Service(s): In the pop-up window, type "Kent State University" in the search by at the upper right hand side. Click Close to finish selecting our data service.
Search Map and View All Search Results
Click Search Map. After a few seconds several blue markers will pop up on the map as shown below. Each blue marker has a number that indicates how many data series exist for that location. The markers cluster dynamically; if you zoom in you will get more precise locations, while if you zoom out the locations will be more generalized. To see all of the data series on the map, click Show Search Results on the right side tool bar as shown below.
Review Data Sets
In the popup window, look for 7 datasets. Review the columns and make sure you have all of the data you will need for the hydrograph separation. You will need delta-18O and delta-D of surface water and precipitation. You will also need stream discharge and incremental precipitation amounts associated with the precipitation isotope samples. A higher resolution time series of precipitation may also be helpful.
Export Selected Data
Highlighting the seven data series from Kent State University, click Select Action and on the dropdown choose Export 7 selections. A zip file should download to your computer. Make sure you know where that file is and that you can access it later.
