title: Hydro-meteorological database for watersheds across the Russia

description: The presented database is a set of hydrological, meteorological, environmental and geometric values for Russia Federation for the period from 2008 to 2020. <strong>Database consist of next items:</strong> Point geometry for hydrological observation stations from Roshydromet network across Russia Geometry of the catchment for correspond observation station point Daily hydrological values Water level In relative representation (sm) In meters of Baltic system (m) Water discharge as an observed value (qms/s) as a layer (mm/day) Daily meteorological values Maximum and minimum daily temperatures (°C) from ERA5 and ERA5-Land Total precipitation (mm/day) from ERA5, ERA5-Land, IMERG v06, GPCP v3.2 and MSWEP Different kind of evaporation (mm/day) corresponded to each variable calculated in GLEAM model Set of hydro-environmental characteristics derived from HydroATLAS database Each variable derived from the grid data was calculated for each watershed, taking into account the intersection weights of the watershed contour geometry and grid cells. Coordinates of hydrological stations were obtained from resource of Federal Agency for Water Resources of Russia Federation—AIS GMVO To calculate the contours of the catchment areas, a script was developed that builds the contours in accordance with the rasters of flow directions from MERIT Hydro. To assess the quality of the contour construction, the obtained value of the catchment area was compared with the archival value from the corresponded table from AIS GMVO. The average error in determining the area for 2080 catchments is approximately 2% To derive values for different hydro-environmental values from HydroATLAS were developed approach which calculate aggregated values for catchment, leaning on type of variable: qualitative (Land cover classes, Lithological classes etc.) Or quantitive (Air temperature, Snow cover extent etc.). Every quantitive variable were calculated as mode value for intersected sub-basins and target catchment, e.g. most popular attribute from sub-basins will describe whole catchment which are they relating. Quantitative values were calculated as mean value of attribute from each sub-basin. More detail could be found in publication. <strong>Files are distributed as follows:</strong> Each file has some connection with the unique identifier of the hydrological observation post. Files in netcdf format (hydrological and meteorological series) are named in response to identifier. Every file which describe geometry (point, polygon, static attributes) has and column named gauge_id with same correspondence. attributes/static_data.csv – results from HydroATLAS aggregation geometry/russia_gauges.gpkg – coordinates of hydrological observation stations gauge_id name_ru name_en geometry 0 49001 р.
