Hydro-CH2018-Runoff ensemble

The Hydro-CH2018-Runoff ensemble consists of daily runoff simulations for 93 catchments in Switzerland for the period 1981-2099 run with the newest climate change scenarios for Switzerland (CH2018). The simulations were performed with the hydrological modelling system PREVAH on soundly calibrated and validated catchments.

The zip-file includes 4 folders including data: -- daily: daily simulations per catchment and RCP scenario with columns for each model in the respective RCP scenario-- monthly: monthly means of daily simulations per catchment and RCP scenario with columns for each model in the respective RCP scenario-- seasonal: seasonal means (winter-DJF, spring-MAM, summer-JJA, autumn-SON) of daily simulations per catchment and RCP scenario with columns for each model in the respective RCP scenario-- yearly: yearly means of of daily simulations per catchment and RCP scenario with columns for each model in the respective RCP scenario

The data is accompanied by a list of models and corresponding RCP scenarios, a list of catchment IDs and corresponding gauging station names, and a short readme with the filename convention. 

There exist daily, monthly, seasonal, and yearly data for each catchment for12 GCM-RCM chains under RCP2.6 scenario25 GCM-RCM chains under RCP4.5 scenario30 GCM-RCM chains under RCP8.5 scenario
