Global reanalysis of riverine water levels at the river mouth

Dataset prepared for manuscript "The effect of surge on riverine flood hazard and impact in deltas globally" (Eilander <em>et al </em>2020) This dataset includes water level data and discharge at 3433 river mouth locations globally, including several components of nearshore still water levels based on a model framework for global compound flood simulations. We usedof runoff from tier 2 of the EartH2Observe (E2O) project (Dutra <em>et al</em> 2017, Schellekens <em>et al</em> 2017) with meteorological forcing from ERA-Interim (Dee <em>et al</em> 2011) and MSWEP v1.2 (Beck <em>et al</em> 2017), surge levels from the Global Tide and Surge Reanalysis (GTSR) based on the GTSM model (Muis <em>et al</em> 2016), and tide levels from the FES2012 model (Carrere <em>et al</em> 2012). These runoff and dynamic sea level (surge and tide) data were used to force the global river routing model CaMa-Flood (Yamazaki <em>et al</em> 2011) to simulate riverine water levels. The time series of simulated water levels is available for three different scenarios in which the sea level boundary is varied to include tide only (tide), tide and the seasonal component of surge levels (seas) and tide and total surge levels (surge).
