Title

Grid-to-Grid model estimates of river flow for Great Britain driven by observed data (1980 to 2011)

Abstract

Gridded hydrological model river flow estimates on a 1km grid over Great Britain for the period Dec 1980 - Nov 2011. The dataset includes monthly mean river flow, annual maxima of daily mean river flow (water years Oct - Sept) and annual minima of 7-day mean river flow (years spanning Dec-Nov) (units: m3/s). The data are provided in gridded netCDF files. There is one file for each variable. To aid interpretation, two additional spatial datasets are provided: a) digitally-derived catchment areas and b) estimated locations of flow gauging stations both on the 1km x 1km grid. The data were produced as part of UK-SCAPE (UK Status, Change And Projections of the Environment; https://ukscape.ceh.ac.uk/, Work Package 2: Case Study - Water) a NERC-funded National Capability Science Single Centre award. Full details about this dataset can be found at https://doi.org/10.5285/2f835517-253e-4697-b774-ab6ff2c0d3da

Lineage

This dataset is a model output from the Grid-to-Grid hydrological model (Bell et al. 2009; https://doi.org10.1016/j.jhydrol.2009.08.031) driven by observed data. The meteorological variables used were daily precipitation (CEH-GEAR; https://doi.org/10.5285/33604ea0-c238-4488-813d-0ad9ab7c51ca), daily min and max temperature (Met Office; http://dx.doi.org/10.5285/2a62652a4fe6412693123dd6328f6dc8) and monthly 40km grids of PE for short grass (MORECS; https://doi.org/10.5194/hess-1-227-1997). See Supporting Information for more details.
