Description

This directory contains the data used for the manuscript: 
Kittel, C.M.M., Hatchard, S., Neal, J.C., Nielsen, K., Bates, P.D., Bauer-Gottwein, P. (2021) 
Hydraulic model calibration using CryoSat-2 observations in the Zambezi catchment

CryoSat-2:
This folder contains the CryoSat-2 observations used for calibrating the hydrodynamic model, including runoff
simulations at time of observation for each model catchment used to force the model.

RR_model:
This folder contains the files necessary to run the rainfall-runoff model for the Zambezi catchment used
to force the hydrodynamic model. The model source code is published as part of the GlobWetland-Africa 
QGIS toolbox. 
http://globwetland-africa.org/?wpdmpro=globwetland-toolbox-1-5
This folder also contains a stand-alone script to run the model for the Zambezi using the subsets of calibrated
parameters found in the subfolder "Parameters".

Supplementary_data:
This folder contains the synthetic parameters used to produce the synthetic observations pertubed by 
uncertainties of 3, 20 and 40 cm.

Hydrodynamic_model: 
This folder contains the catchment characteristics used to run the LISFLOOD-FP models of the subreaches included
in the study. The files are ASCII files of the channel width, slope, bed elevation and channel roughness
as obtained in the calibration. 
13 - Upper Zambezi
14 - Kabompo
134 - Lungwebungo
101 - Kafue
99 - Luangwa
Please refer to the LISFLOOD-FP manual for further details on the file format and model setup:

S3 Time series: 
Sentinel-3A and Sentinel-3B WSE time series used to evaluate performance of the hydraulic model.
