CLM Surface water model outflows for model nodes in the Richmond river basin

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.

The dataset provides a summary of modelled 30 year total surface water flow from the results of the AWRA-L surface water modelling in parts of the Richmond river basin.

These original model results have been accumulated/summarised to represent each of the catchment areas above each of the model nodes.

Purpose

Provide total modeled streamflow predictions for a range of locations in streams/rivers of the Richmond river basin

Dataset History

AWRA-L results for the Richmond River have been summarised to provide flow totals for 16 catchment areas, upstream of 16 model nodes in the Richmond river basin. The gridded AWRA-L results of total streamflow are accumulated per catchment and saved as separate xlsx spreadsheets. This information is used to inform the water balance estimates in product CLM2.5.
