GEOGLOWS
Best encapsulated by the AWS readme: “The GEOGLOWS Hydrological Model provides a retrospective and daily forecast of global river discharge at 7 million river sub-basins. The stream network is a hydrologically conditioned subset of the TDX-Hydro streams and basins data produced by the United State’s National Geospatial Intelligence Agency. The daily forecast provides 3 hourly average discharge in a 51 member ensemble and 15 day lead time derived from the ECMWF Integrated Forecast System (IFS). The retrospective simulation is derived from ERA5 climate reanalysis data and provides daily average streamflow beginning on 1 January 1940. New forecasts are uploaded daily and the retrospective simulation is updated weekly on Sundays to keep the lag time between 5 and 12 days.”
