CLM - Unified streamflow data (mm) for 9 catchments in NSW

Abstract

The dataset was derived by the Bioregional Assessment Programme from multiple source datasets. The source datasets are identified in the Lineage field in this metadata statement. The processes undertaken to produce this derived dataset are described in the History field in this metadata statement.

Stream gauging station daily time-series for 9 gauges in the Tweed, Richmond and Clarence catchments in NSW presented as millimetres over gauged area.

Purpose

For AWRA-L calibration

Dataset History

Started with the measured gauging station flows (volume in ML) for nine gauging stations.

This gauged stream flow volume was converted into a depth (in mm) over each catchment area (km^2) - which is the unit that AWRA-L requires.

i.e. ML / km^2 = mm

This provides time-series of measured streamflow at nine catchments for use in the calibration of the AWRA-L surface water model.
