Scientific Data: Caravan – A global community dataset for large-sample hydrology

Scientific Data: Caravan – A global community dataset for large-sample hydrology . “This paper introduces a dataset called Caravan (a series of CAMELS [Catchment Attributes and Meteorology for Large-sample Studies]) that standardizes and aggregates seven existing large-sample hydrology datasets. Caravan includes meteorological forcing data, streamflow data, and static catchment attributes (e.g., geophysical, sociological, climatological) for 6830 catchments. Most importantly, Caravan is both a dataset and open-source software that allows members of the hydrology community to extend the dataset to new locations by extracting forcing data and catchment attributes in the cloud.”
