CAMELS-ES: Catchment Attributes and Meteorology for Large-Sample Studies – Spain

CAMELS-ES is a hydrometeorological dataset covering 269 catchments in Spain and the time period from 1991 to 2020. It is a contribution to the Caravan initiative, a global community that collects open hydrometeorological data to support global hydrological modelling. As other datasets in Caravan, CAMELS-ES includes both catchment attributes extracted from HydroATLAS and ERA5-Land, meteorological time series from ERA5-Land and discharge records from the Spanish Ministry of the Environment. In addition, CAMELS-ES includes information from the European Flood Awareness System (EFASv5): catchment attributes extracted from the input static maps used in the hydrological model LISFLOOD, and the simulated discharge from EFASv5 long run.
