LamaH-CE: LArge-SaMple DAta for Hydrology and Environmental Sciences for Central Europe

LamaH-CE contains a collection of runoff and meteorological time series as well as various (catchment) attributes for 859 gauged basins in the upper Danube catchment and Austria.

The hydrometeorological time series are provided with daily and hourly time resolution including quality flags. All meteorological and the majority of runoff time series cover a span of over 35 years, which enables long-term analyses with high temporal resolution. LamaH is in its basics quite sililar to the well-known CAMELS datasets for the contiguous United States (https://doi.org/10.5194/hess-21-5293-2017), Chile (https://doi.org/10.5194/hess-22-5817-2018), Brazil (https://doi.org/10.5194/essd-12-2075-2020), Great Britain (https://doi.org/10.5194/essd-12-2459-2020) and Australia (https://doi.org/10.5194/essd-13-3847-2021), but new features like additional basin delineations (intermediate catchments) and attributes allow to consider the hydrological network and river topology in further applications.
