A global streamflow reanalysis for 1980-2018.

ABSTRACT: Global and continental scale hydrological reanalysis datasets receive growing attention due to their increasing number of applications, ranging from water resources management, climate change studies, water related hazards and policy support. Until recently, their use was mostly limited to qualitative assessments, due to their coarse spatial and temporal resolution, large uncertainty and bias in the model output, and limited extent of the dataset in space and time. This research reports on the setup of a gridded hydrological model with quasi-global coverage, able to reproduce a seamless 39-year streamflow simulation in all world's medium to large river basins. The model was calibrated at 1226 river sections with a total drainage area of 51 million km² within 66 countries, using
