National Water Model RouteLinks CSV

This resource contains "RouteLink" files for version 2.1.6 of the National Water Model which are used to associate feature identifiers for computational reaches to relevant metadata. These data are important for comparing NWM feature data to USGS streamflow and lake observations. The original RouteLink files are in NetCDF format and available here: https://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/codes/nwprod This resource includes the files in a human-friendlier CSV format for easier use, and a machine-friendlier file in HDF5 format which contains a single pandas.DataFrame. The scripts and supporting utilities are also included for users that wish to rebuild these files. Source code is hosted here: https://github.com/jarq6c/NWM_RouteLinks
