Description
1 Introduction
The data archive provides a reconstructed dataset capturing annual runoff across Europe, partitioned into a grid format and preserved in NetCDFv4 (.nc) format for enhanced geospatial information.
1.1 Coordinate system and spatial resolution
Each grid cell in the dataset corresponds to a spatial resolution of 0.009090951 degrees, using the World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS84) as the standard coordinate frame.
1.2 Temporal resolution
The data encapsulates a yearly temporal resolution, offering a comprehensive outlook from 2000-06-01 to 2021-08-01.
1.3 Units
Precipitation measurements are quantified in millimetres per month (mm/month), providing hydrological data throughout the specified time frame.
