SAFARI 2000 RIVER DISCHARGE DATA (COE AND OLEJNICZAK)

The data set consists of southern Africa subset of the CPEP Global River Discharge Data Set. The Climate, People, and Environment Program (CPEP) global river discharge data set is a compilation of monthly mean discharge data for over 2600 sites worldwide. The data sources are RivDis 2.0, the United States Geological Survey, and Brazilian National Department of Water and Electrical Energy. The period of record is variable, from 3 years to greater than 100. The purpose of this compilation is to provide detailed hydrographic information to the climate research community in as general a format as possible. Data is provided in units of meters cubed per second (m**3/sec) in ASCII format. Data from stations with less than 3 years of information or with basin area less than 5000 km2 were excluded from this compilation. Therefore the original sources may have more sites available. No further documentation is available on this data set. Users should refer to the data originators for documentation.

本数据集为气候、人类与环境项目（Climate, People, and Environment Program，简称CPEP）全球河流径流数据集的南部非洲子集。该全球河流径流数据集整合了全球2600余个监测站点的月均径流数据，其数据来源包括RivDis 2.0、美国地质调查局以及巴西国家水利与电力能源部。数据记录的时长跨度较大，从3年至100年以上不等。本次数据整合的目标，是以尽可能通用的格式向气候研究领域提供详实的水文信息。数据集以ASCII格式存储，单位为立方米每秒（m³/s）。本次整合过程中，已剔除监测时长不足3年或流域面积小于5000平方千米的站点数据，因此原始数据源中可获取的站点数量可能多于本数据集收录量。本数据集暂无额外官方说明文档，用户如需获取相关说明材料，请联系数据原始提供方。更多详细信息可通过以下链接获取：ftp://daac.ornl.gov/data/safari2k/hydrology/river_discharge_cpep/comp/cpep_discharge.pdf。
