CAMELS-PL: hydro-meteorological time series and landscape attributes for 354 catchments in Poland

Description:

CAMELS-PL provides a comprehensive collection of hydro-meteorological time series and catchment attributes for 354 streamflow gauges across Poland. The hydrological time series (discharge and water level) span from 1 November 1950 to 31 October 2024; the meteorological time series derived from E-OBS v31.0e span from 1 January 1951 to 31 December 2024; the meteorological time series derived from G2DC-PL span from 1 January 1951 to 31 December 2019; and the benchmark model simulations (LSTM and HBV) cover the full modelled period from 1 January 1951 to 31 October 2024. All time series are in daily resolution. The static catchment attributes include information about topography, climate, hydrology, soils, and land cover derived from both the European CORINE Land Cover 2018 dataset and the national BDOT10k topographic database. Catchment boundaries and gauging station locations are provided as shapefiles and GeoPackage files and were obtained from IMGW-PIB. Additionally, the dataset includes discharge simulations from a regionally trained Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network and a locally calibrated conceptual HBV model, providing benchmark data for future hydrological modelling studies in Poland.
