Caravan - A global community dataset for large-sample hydrology

Essentailly a rehosted version of an exisiting database of standardised forcing data.Caravan is a colection of Camels data sets (and others) from around the world collecting hydrological forcing and observation in a standardised way.This dataset has been prepared to work nicely with eWaterCycle by Bart Schilperoort using this script which compresses and structures the original dataset NetCDF combining the files into one.The Caravan data set has forcing from Era5-land, which differs from the original Camels dataset which used daymet, nldas and maurer.For this reason the Camels-USA file was updated to now also include the original forcing alongside the Era5-land forcing caravan supplies.Contains a total of 6830 basins from:Camels United States of America (482)Camels Australia (150)Camels Brazil (376)Camels Chile (314)Camels Great Britain (408)part of HYSETS (4621)LamaH-CE (479)

本数据集本质为现有标准化水文强迫数据数据库的重新托管版本。Caravan数据集（Caravan）是全球多套Camels类数据集（及其他相关数据集）的集合，以标准化方式收集水文强迫数据与观测数据。该数据集由Bart Schilperoort基于相关脚本针对eWaterCycle平台进行适配优化制备，该脚本可对原始NetCDF格式数据集进行压缩与结构化处理，并将多个文件合并为单一文件。Caravan数据集包含来自Era5-land的强迫数据，这与原始Camels数据集所使用的Daymet、NLDAS及Maurer强迫数据存在差异。为此，Camels-USA数据集文件已完成更新，如今可同时提供原始强迫数据与Caravan数据集提供的Era5-land强迫数据。本数据集总计包含6830个流域，数据来源包括：美国Camels数据集（482个流域）、澳大利亚Camels数据集（150个流域）、巴西Camels数据集（376个流域）、智利Camels数据集（314个流域）、英国Camels数据集（408个流域）、HYSETS数据集（4621个流域）以及LamaH-CE数据集（479个流域）。
