Datasets for manuscript: Global River Discharge and Floods in the Warmer Climate of the Last Interglacial

This datasets contains results of the global hydrological and hydrodynamic modeling presented in the paper referenced in the title (doi: 10.1029/2020GL089375). The dataset comprises results for one set of simulations, based on Global Climate Model CESM1.2, out of the eight sets of simulations for eight GCMs included in the paper. The corresponding results for the other seven sets of simulations (based on GCMs CESM2, EC‐EARTH3.2, HadGEM3‐GC3.1, IPSL‐CM6‐LR, MPI‐ESM 1.2.01p1‐LR, NorESM1‐F, and NUIST‐CSM) can be obtained by writing to the corresponding author at [e-mail].
