A global streamflow indices time series dataset

This new global streamflow indices time series dataset is calculated from daily streamflow records after data quality control and includes 79 indices over seven components of streamflow regime (i.e., magnitude, frequency, duration, changing rate, timing, variability, and recession) of 5548 river reaches globally. The indices time series in the dataset are until 2022, whose lengths vary from 30 to 215 years with an average of around 66 years. Restricted-access streamflow data of typical river basins in China are included in the dataset to foster research on these areas. Compared to existing global datasets, this global dataset covers more indices, especially indices characterizing the frequency, duration, changing rate, and recession of streamflow regime. With the dataset, research on streamflow regime will become easier without spending time handling raw streamflow records. It is also helpful to the hydrology community to fill the gap of research on streamflow regime from a global perspective.
