ISLSCP II UNH/GRDC Composite Monthly Runoff

Published by ORNL_DAAC | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Catalog Last Checked: September 09, 2026 at 12:08 AM | Dataset Last Updated: September 08, 2026
The University of New Hampshire (UNH)/Global Runoff Data Centre (GRDC) composite runoff data combines simulated water balance model runoff estimates derived from climate forcing with monitored river discharge. It can be viewed as a data assimilation applied in a water balance model context (conceptually similar to the commonly used 4DDA techniques used in meteorological modeling). Such a data assimilation scheme preserves the spatial specificity of the water balance calculations while constrained by the more accurate discharge measurement. There are 11 data files in this data set and 1 changemap file which shows the differences between the ISLSCP II land/water mask and the original data set.
