To understand and quantify water resources in both space and time, on a consistent basis.
South America was discretized into 33,749 irregular computational elements (i.e., unit-catchments based on topography and river length), and the model computes a time series of discharge corresponding to the outlet of each of these unit-catchments.
Data entails: 33,749 irregular computational elements i.e. unit-catchments based on topography and river length and a time series of discharge corresponding to the outlet of each of these unit-catchments.
Estimated by running the MGB hydrologic-hydrodynamic model with daily time step forced rainfall data derived from gauge, satellite and reanalysis data. MGB continental model was manually calibrated and validated using different databases and remote sensing products.
