CAMELS-LUX: Highly Resolved Hydro-Meteorological and Atmospheric Data for Physiographically Characterized Catchments around Luxembourg

The CAMELS-LUX dataset encompasses hydro-meteorological time series and catchment attributes for 56 partly nested stream gauges feeding into the Luxembourgish stream network. The data is available at three temporal resolutions: daily, hourly and at a 15-minute resolution and spans the hydrological years from 2004-11-01 to 2021-10-31. The static catchment attributes cover parameters classifying the topography, geology and land use as well as climatic and hydrologic annual statistics of the 17-year time period.

While an in depth description of the dataset as well as background information on catchments, the environment and exact calculation methods is provided in the accompanying publication in ESSD, the dataset description below isolates information on the available parameters and data structure contained in the provided files.
