README for supporting data for "Rainfall thresholds for postfire debris-flow initiation vary with short-duration rainfall climatology" Cavagnaro, D.B., McCoy, S.W., Lindsay, D.N., McGuire, L.A., Kean, J.W., Trugman, D.T.
------ DATA:
DFObsHydroclimatePubNew_attributes.xlsx Excel file containing data on each event as well as associated climatological metrics.
ROC_by_fire_computed.csv CSV file containing computed thresholds for each fire as well as summary statistics of relevant metrics.
raster1yr15ma_10k2.txt TXT file containing Atlas14 1yr 15min rainfall intensities for the full study area.
rasterprism_10k.txt TXT file containing PRISM mean annual precipitation for the full study area.
a14_f2000.asc TXT file containing Atlas14 1yr 15min rainfall intensities for burned areas. All cells outside of burn perimeters are set to NULL (-9999).
prism_f2000_snapped.asc TXT file containing PRISM mean annual precipitation for burned areas. All cells outside of burn perimeters are set to NULL (-9999).
a14_f2000_10d.asc ASC file containing Atlas14 1yr 15min rainfall intensities for burned areas above 10 degrees slope. All cells outside of burn perimeters and/or less than 10 degrees slope are set to NULL (-9999).
prism_f2000_10d_snapped.asc ASC file containing PRISM mean annual precipitation for burned areas above 10 degrees slope. All cells outside of burn perimeters and/or less than 10 degrees slope are set to NULL (-9999).
GaugesForSyntheticExperiment folder Folder containing CSV files of precipitation data for selected gauges across the study area.
------ CODES:
ThresholdFinder_PUBLIC.py Uses ROC method to compute fire-wide thresholds and creates relevant figures.
ClimateKDE_PUBLIC.py Plots kernel density distributions of climate parameters, calculates spatial density of observations, and creates relevant figure.
SyntheticThresholds_PUBLIC.py Uses gauge data to perform synthetic threshold experiment and creates relevant supplemental figure.
HydroclimateDecisionTree_PUBLIC.py Uses decision tree method to compute variable importance and creates relevant figure.
