FOCA (Italian FlOod and Catchment Atlas)

FOCA (Italian FlOod and Catchment Atlas) is the first systematic collection of data of Italian river catchments for which discharge historical time series are available. Hydrometric information, including annual maximum peak discharge and average daily annual maximum discharge, is complemented by several geomorphological, climatological, extreme rainfall, land cover and soil-related catchment attributes. All hydrologic information derives from the most recently released datasets of discharge and rainfall measurements. For more details, please refer to https://doi.org/10.5194/essd-16-1503-2024.
