Data to: High Uncertainties in Simulating and Evaluating Gaining and Losing Streams at Large Spatial Scales

The data is related to the preprint article: High Uncertainties in Simulating and Evaluating Gaining and Losing Streams at Large Spatial Scales (DOI: 10.22541/essoar.176409467.73281253/v1). Simulation output of the coupled WaterGAP-G³M model for the continental USA. The model output of the WaterGap model is used as input data for the G3M model. Both models are uncalibrated and simulate human water use. The G³M model simulates a reduced river conductance in the transient model compared to steady-state. This is experiment 5 as indicated in Table 1 in the related manuscript (10.22541/essoar.176409467.73281253/v1). Simulation experiments were conducted by Sebastian Ackermann. Every netcdf file contains the monthly results for the whole globe/North America between 1901 to 2019 for one variable which are listed in the Table below.
