Weser River Basin: nitrogen sources, simulated discharge and simulated nitrogen fluxes

This resource includes, for eight subcatchments of the Weser River Basin:
- stream discharge simulated by the mesoscale Hydrologic Model (mHM) model, which was used in Sarrazin et al. (submitted)
- input data to force the ELEMeNT model (land use, Nitrogen diffuse and point sources), which were processed and used in Sarrazin et al. (submitted)
- nitrogen fluxes simulated by the Exploration of Long-tErM Nutrient Trajectories (ELEMeNT) model, which were generated in Sarrazin et al. (submitted)

The mHM model was introduced in Kumar et al. (2013) and Samaniego et al. (2010) and the specific setup used here are described in Hanel et al. (2018) and Zink et al. (2017).
The ELEMeNT model was introduced in Van Meter et al. (2017) and the model version and setup used here are described in Sarrazin et al. (submitted).
