Modelled runoff in contrasting Alpine catchments in Austria

GENERAL INFORMATION

The datasets were generated using the hydrological model from https://github.com/sarah-hanus/hbv-mountain.

The datasets are used for the analysis presented in the following paper: https://doi.org/10.5194/hess-25-3429-2021

This directory contains runoff simulations and melt contribution simulations of six Austrian catchments (Feistritztal, Paltental, Gailtal, Silbertal, Defreggental and Pitztal) from 14 climate models for 2 emission scenarios for a 30-year timeperiod in the past and at the end of the 21st century.

When using this dataset, please refer to the original publication in addition to this Zenodo repository.

DATA & FILE OVERVIEW

The data is sorted by RCP (4.5 & 8.5) and by climate model used (in total 14 models per RCP).

*_past_2010.csv refers for data for the timeseries 1981-2010

*_future_2100.csv refers to data at the end of the 21st century. Due to inconsistencies in timeseries for climate models at end of the 21 st century the timeseries varies from 2069-2098 to 2071-2100 (see files timeseries_future_2100 in each directory).

The rows of the files is output from different parameter sets (total 300), the columns define the day as mentioned in the timeseries_*.txt files
