Global Flow

This archive contains estimates of runoff to all river outlets globally, excluding Greenland and Antarctica, based on routing through the simulated topological network at 30-minute spatial resolution (STN-30p, version 6.01;2004–07) flow network [Vörösmarty et al. 2000; downloaded from Water Systems Analysis Group (2007)] at 1/2-degree latitude-by-longitude resolution using the Lohmann et al. (1996, 1998) routing model. The data set is a hybrid of simulated and observed streamflow for 4 model-method combinations, as described inClark, E.A., J. Sheffield, M.T.H. van Vliet, B. Nijssen, and D.P. Lettenmaier, 2015, Continental runoff into the oceans (1950-2008), J. Hydrometeor., http://dx.doi.org/10.1175/JHM-D-14-0183.1.
