Input Runoff Data for RAPID Model Pre-Processor (RRR) from ECMWF ERA-Interim/Land

This database can be used as the input runoff files in the RAPID model [David et al., 2011] pre-processor (RRR). The runoff files were acquired/derived from the ECMWF ERA-Interim/Land [Balsamo et al., 2015] outputs, available from ECMWF Data Server. The ERA-Interim/Land outputs are available in daily temporal resolution. The database contains the following files;

        ECMWF_Interim_Land_yyyy.tar.gz           (Note: yyyy = 2000 to 2009)

Note: These runoff data were used by Sikder et al. [2019] to assess the performance of available global LSM runoffs in South and Southeast Asian river basins.
