Monthly Discharge Data for World Rivers (except former Soviet Union)
Entry ID: NCAR_DS552.1

[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: This dataset contains monthly river discharge rates for 4,425 locations around the world except for the former Soviet Union. This dataset combines the UNESCO set (ds552.0) plus 3,455 gages, thus, improving spatial coverage over much of the world with major gains in Brazil, Australia and Argentina. The "new" gauges have not been subjected ... View entire text
