Description

This dataset contains streamflow, climate, and vegetation data for 155 minimally impaired catchments in Victoria, Australia. 

What's included:

- Streamflow long-term observation records in daily, monthly, and hydroannual (based on March to February water year) resolution

- Catchment climate characteristics in daily, monthly, and hydroannual resolution

- Catchment vegetation characteristics in monthly resolution and actual evapotranspiration estimate in monthly and hydroannual resolution

- Catchment boundaries

- Catchment attributes (topographic, geological, soil, groundwater, vegetation, and human impacts characteristics)

- Hydroclimatic characteristics for 3 different periods.

Precipitation (p), streamflow (q), and PET (pet) data and their derivatives are in mm (i.e. normalised by catchment area). 

A paper containing a detailed description of the data including units, data sources, and processing details is submitted, please contact Margarita Saft for a private copy of the draft.
