This file describes the contents of all files in the HydroShare data repository entitled "RHESSys Morris Sensitivity Analysis Data Repository for Smith et al.", and provides references to the works cited in the repository files. S0. S0_CodeAndDataReferences.docxCode and data references, and data processing notes for this paper.Describes all datasets used for this paper, and provides references to code. S1. S1_Tables_Fig1&5Data.xlsx:Tables of elementary effects for all model parameters that are plotted in Fig. 1 and 5 This Excel file contains the elementary effects for six decision-relevant and four calibrationrelevant sensitivity metrics, their 90% confidence intervals, and their ranks for all RHESSys parameters displayed in Fig. 1 and 5. This file has three tables (spreadsheets). The BasinOutletEEs_RawValues table contains the raw value of the elementary effects before normalization was completed. The NormalizedAsInFig1&5 table shows the elementary effects after dividing by the maximum P95 value, as shown in Fig. 1 and 5. The Normalized_OnlyNonZeroParams table is the same as the NormalizedAsInFig1&5 table but only shows those parameters with non-zero elementary effects. The last two tables display only two decimal places. All tables share the same column names: 1. Parameter Category: The category listed in the Fig. 1 legend. 2. Parameter Number: This number indicates the ascending order of parameters along the xaxis in Fig. 1 and 5. Numbers in this field match those placed above the error bars in Fig. 1 and 5. 3. Parameter Short Name: The unique name of each parameter as used in the sensitivity analysis. The long names and full descriptions may be found in the Excel file named "Tables_RHESSysParameterDescriptions.xlsx" in this repository. This file is described in S2. 4. The following sets of four columns correspond to each of the metrics used to compute elementary effects (Streamflow: Lower 5th Quantiles, Streamflow: 5th to 95th Quantiles, Streamflow: Upper 5th Quantiles, TN: Lower 5th Quantile Estimate, TN: Estimated
