Title

Estimates of daily river flows for 95 catchments in Great Britain from the GR6J model under present and future climate scenarios, using large ensemble climate model driving data

Abstract

This dataset contains GR6J (which stands for modèle du Génie Rural à 6 paramètres Journalier) modelled daily river flow time series for 95 river catchments in Great Britain and driving data (precipitation and potential evapotranspiration calculated from temperature) from the EC-Earth Single Model Initial Condition Large Ensemble (SMILE) climate model. The large ensemble is based on the EC-Earth Global Climate Model (GCM) v2.3 and is run for present day (equivalent to present day climate with observed global mean surface temperature for the period 2011-2015) and pre-industrial plus 2°C and 3°C global warming conditions. In total, they make up 2000 years of data for each global warming level (i.e. 16 ensemble members x 25 realizations x 5 years = 2000 years). All ensemble members are pooled to form a continuous 2000-year time series of meteorological input and daily modelled river flows.

Lineage

The GR6J hydrological model (which stands for modèle du Génie Rural à 6 paramètres Journalier) is used to simulate river flows at 95 river catchments driven by the pooled continuous 2000-years input data (precipitation and potential evapotranspiration) from the EC-Earth large ensemble. Simulated river flows is obtained from using the best performing model run for each river catchment to drive GR6J hydrological models for each catchment. This dataset is produced as part of a PhD studentship supported by the Natural Environment Research Council via the SCENARIO Doctoral Training Partnership (grant no. NE/S007261/1).
