SWOT-Derived River Discharge Estimates for North America from the Confluence Module (SWORD v16, Unconstrained Run)

This dataset contains SWOT-derived river discharge estimates generated using the SWOT Confluence Module for North America. The discharge estimates were computed exclusively for the North American domain and correspond to an unconstrained run, meaning that no in-situ gauge observations were used to constrain the estimates. The product follows the SWOT River Database (SWORD) version 16 river network and is based on the Sword of Science (SoS) discharge framework implemented within the open-source SWOT Confluence system. Model parameters were set according to the “Montpellier Parameter” configuration as defined in the Confluence prediagnostics repository. Discharge estimates are provided in netCDF format and include time series consistent with the SWORD reach and node structure. Further technical details on the Confluence system and discharge algorithm are available in the official Confluence documentation.
