VIC-Res Mekong -- 1981-2022 -- Preliminary version
Description
This data repository holds VIC and VIC-Res model input/output data for the Mekong River Basin. The model can be used to simulate hydrological processes and streamflow routing in the entire basin for the period 1981-2022. The streamflow routing scheme can be run with and without water reservoirs.
While the model setup is final and reliable, additional experiments are ongoing. These experiments are likely to lead to a slight modification of the model parameters and/or additional user options regarding the reservoir simulation schemes. Additional details about the final version will be provided at https://galelli.cee.cornell.edu/research/software/
