  description: '[CONUS404](https://www.usgs.gov/data/conus404-four-kilometer-long-term-regional-hydroclimate-reanalysis-over-conterminous-united)
    is a unique, high-resolution hydro-climate dataset appropriate for forcing hydrological
    models and conducting meteorological analysis over the conterminous United States.
    CONUS404, so named because it covers the CONterminous United States for over 40
    years at 4 km resolution, was produced by the Weather Research and Forecasting
    (WRF) model simulations run by NCAR as part of a collaboration with the USGS Water
    Mission Area. The CONUS404 includes 42 years of data (water years 1980-2021) and
    the spatial domain extends beyond the CONUS into Canada and Mexico, thereby capturing
    transboundary river basins and covering all contributing areas for CONUS surface
    waters.


    The CONUS404 dataset, produced using WRF version 3.9.1.1, is the successor to
    the CONUS1 dataset in [ds612.0](https://rda.ucar.edu/datasets/ds612.0/) (Liu,
    et al., 2017) with improved representation of weather and climate conditions in
    the central United States due to the addition of a shallow groundwater module
    and several other improvements in the NOAH-Multiparameterization land surface
    model. It also uses a more up-to-date and higher-resolution reanalysis dataset
    (ERA5) as input and covers a longer period than CONUS1.'
