  • 1. Department of Civil Engineering, School of Engineering, The University of Tokyo

Description

MERV-Jp is the dataset of meteorological forcing and multi-model runoff simulation in 135 (ver1.1) / 87 (ver2.1) Japanese basins, and contributes to carrying out a large sample rainfall-runoff simulation in Japan. In addition, MERV-Jp can be used as a benchmark to evaluate user's hydrological modeling. 
The detailed description of MERV-Jp can be found at "Y. Sawada, S. Okugawa and T. Kimizuka (2022): Multi-model ensemble benchmark data for hydrological modeling in Japanese river basins, Hydrological Research Letters, 16, 73-79"  (https://doi.org/10.3178/hrl.16.73).
