We introduce the first large-scale catchment attributes and meteorological time series dataset of contiguous China. To develop the dataset, we compiled diverse data sources to generate basin-oriented features describing the characteristics of the catchment related to hydrological processes. The proposed dataset consists of catchment characteristics including soil, land cover, climate, topography, geology, and 29-year meteorological time series (from 1990 to 2018). The meteorological variables include precipitation, temperature, evapotranspiration, wind speed, ground surface temperature, pressure, humidity and sunshine duration. We also derived a daily potential evapotranspiration time series based on a modified Penman’s equation. The studied catchments are 4875 catchments within contiguous China derived from digital elevation models. The spatial variations of catchment characteristics are analysed and organized into a series of maps; the correlation analysis between attributes was conducted. Compared to the previously proposed datasets, we derived more catchment characteristics resulting in a total of 127 attributes, providing a complete description of the catchments. Besides, we propose Normal-Camels-YR, a hydrological dataset covering 102 basins of the Yellow River basin with normalized streamflow observations. The proposed dataset provides numerous opportunities for comparative hydrological research, such as examining the difference in hydrological behaviours across different catchments and building general rainfall-runoff modelling frameworks for many catchments instead of limited to a few. The dataset is freely available via http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4704017 for community use.

Sea-level observations provide information on a variety of processes occurring over different temporal and spatial scales that may contribute to coastal flooding and hazards. However, global research of sea-level extremes is restricted to hourly datasets, which prevent quantification and analyses of processes occurring at timescales between a few minutes and a few hours. These shorter period processes, like seiches, meteotsunamis, infragravity and coastal waves, may even dominate in low-tidal basins. Therefore, a new global 1-minute sea-level dataset – MISELA (Minute Sea-Level Analysis) – has been developed, encompassing quality-checked records of nonseismic sea-level oscillations at tsunami timescales (T  https://doi.org/10.14284/456 , Zemunik et al., 2021b). This paper describes data quality-control procedures applied to the MISELA dataset, world and regional coverage of tide-gauge sites and lengths of time-series. The dataset is appropriate for global, regional or local research of atmospherically-induced high-frequency sea-level oscillations, which should be included in the overall sea-level extremes assessments.","PeriodicalId":326085,"journal":{"name":"Earth System Science Data Discussions","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130493652","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

According to the living data process in ESSD, this publication presents extensions of a comprehensive hydrometeorological and glaciological data set for several research sites in the Rofental (1891–3772 m a.s.l., Ötztal Alps, Austria). Whereas the original dataset has been published in a first original version in 2018 (https://doi.org/10.5194/essd-10-151-2018), the new time series presented here originate from meteorological and snow-hydrological recordings that have been collected from 2017 to 2020. Some data sets represent continuations of time series at existing locations, others come from new installations complementing the scientific monitoring infrastructure in the research catchment. Main extensions are a fully equipped automatic weather and snow monitoring station, as well as extensive additional installations to enable continuous observation of snow cover properties. Installed at three high Alpine locations in the catchment, these include automatic measurements of snow depth, snow water equivalent, volumetric solid and liquid water content, snow density, layered snow temperature profiles, and snow surface temperature. One station is extended by a particular arrangement of two snow depth and water equivalent recording devices to observe and quantify wind-driven snow redistribution. They are installed at nearby wind-exposed and sheltered locations and are complemented by an acoustic-based snow drift sensor. The data sets represent a unique time series of high-altitude mountain snow and meteorology observations. We present three years of data for temperature, precipitation, humidity, wind speed, and radiation fluxes from three meteorological stations. The continuous snow measurements are explored by combined analyses of meteorological and snow data to show typical seasonal snow cover characteristics. The potential of the snow drift observations are demonstrated with examples of measured wind speeds, snow drift rates and redistributed snow amounts in December 2019 when a tragic avalanche accident occurred in the vicinity of the station.

Natural dynamics of river floodplains are driven by the interaction of flow and patchy riparian vegetation, which has implications for riverbed morphology and diversity of riparian habitats. Fundamental mechanisms affecting the dynamics of flow in such systems are still not fully understood due to a lack of experimental data collected in natural environments that are free of scaling effects present in laboratory studies. Here we present a detailed dataset on hydrodynamics of shallow wake flows that develop behind solid and porous obstructions. The dataset was collected during a field experimental campaign carried out in a side branch of the gravel-bed Tagliamento River in Northeast Italy. The dataset consists of thirty experimental runs in which we varied the diameter of the surface-mounted obstruction, its solid volume fraction, and the porosity at the leading edge, the object's submergence, and the approach velocity. Each run included: (1) measurements of mean velocity and turbulence in the longitudinal transect through the centreline of the flow with up to 25–30 sampling locations, and from 8 to 10 lateral profiles measured at 14 locations; (2) detailed surveys of the free surface topography; and (3) flow visualizations and video-recordings of the wakes patterns using a drone. The field scale of the experimental setup, the precise control of the approaching velocity, configuration of models, and the natural gravel-bed context for this experiment makes this data set unique. Besides enabling the examination of scaling effects, these data also allow the verification of numerical models and provide insight into the effects of driftwood accumulations on the dynamics of wakes.

The Arctic regions experience intense transformations, such that efficient methods are needed to monitor and understand Arcticlandscape changes in response to climate warming and low-frequency high-magnitude events.

We present a global and multi-annual space-borne dataset of tropospheric {H2O, δD} pairs that is based on radiance measurements from the nadir thermal infrared sensor IASI (Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer) onboard the Metop satellites of EUMETSAT (European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites). This dataset is an a posteriori processed extension of the MUSICA (MUlti-platform remote Sensing of Isotopologues for investigating the Cycle of Atmospheric water) IASI full product dataset as presented in Schneider et al. (2021b). From the independently retrieved H2O and δD proxy states, their a priori settings and constraints, and their error covariances provided by the IASI full product dataset we generate an optimal estimation product for pairs of H2O and δD. Here, this standard MUSICA method for deriving {H2O, δD} pairs is extended using an a posteriori reduction of the constraints for improving the retrieval sensitivity at dry conditions. By applying this improved water isotopologue post-processing for all cloud-free MUSICA IASI retrievals, this yields a {H2O, δD} pair dataset for the whole period from October 2014 to June 2019 with a global coverage twice per day (local morning and evening overpass times). In total, the dataset covers more than 1200 million individually processed observations. The retrievals are most sensitivity to variations of {H2O, δD} pairs within the free troposphere, with up to 30 % of all retrievals containing vertical profile information in the {H2O, δD} pair product. After applying appropriate quality filters, the largest number of reliable pair data arises for tropical and subtropical summer regions, but also for higher latitudes there is a considerable amount of reliable data. Exemplary time-series over the Tropical Atlantic and West Africa are chosen to illustrates the potential of the MUSICA IASI {H2O, δD} pair data for atmospheric moisture pathway studiess.

Air-sea flux of carbon dioxide (CO2) is a critical component of the global carbon cycle and the climate system with the ocean removing about a quarter of the CO2 emitted into the atmosphere by human activities over the last decade. A common approach to estimate this net flux of CO2 across the air-sea interface is the use of surface ocean CO2 observations and the computation of the flux through a bulk parameterization approach. Yet, the details for how this is done in order to arrive at a global ocean CO2 uptake estimate varies greatly, unnecessarily enhancing the uncertainties. Here we reduce some of these uncertainties by harmonizing an ensemble of products that interpolate surface ocean CO2 observations to near global coverage. We propose a common methodology to fill in missing areas in the products and to calculate fluxes and present a new estimate of the net flux. The ensemble data product, SeaFlux (Fay et al. (2021), doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4133802 , https://github.com/luke-gregor/SeaFlux ), accounts for the diversity of the underlying mapping methodologies. Utilizing six global observation-based mapping products (CMEMS-FFNN, CSIR-ML6, JENA-MLS, JMA-MLR, MPI-SOMFFN, NIES-FNN), the SeaFlux ensemble approach adjusts for methodological inconsistencies in flux calculations that can result in an average error of 15 % in global mean flux estimates. We address differences in spatial coverage of the surface ocean CO2 between the mapping products which ultimately yields an increase in CO2 uptake of up to 19 % for some products. Fluxes are calculated using three wind products (CCMPv2, ERA5, and JRA55). Application of an appropriately scaled gas exchange coefficient has a greater impact on the resulting flux than solely the choice of wind product. With these adjustments, we derive an improved ensemble of surface ocean pCO2 and air-sea carbon flux estimates. The SeaFlux ensemble suggests a global mean uptake of CO2 from the atmosphere of 1.92 +/- 0.35 PgC yr-1. This work aims to support the community effort to perform model-data intercomparisons which will help to identify missing fluxes as we strive to close the global carbon budget.","PeriodicalId":326085,"journal":{"name":"Earth System Science Data Discussions","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125029937","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dams and reservoirs are among the most widespread human-made infrastructure on Earth. Despite their societal and environmental significance, spatial inventories of dams and reservoirs, even for the large ones, are insufficient. A dilemma of the existing georeferenced dam datasets is the polarized focus on either dam quantity and spatial coverage (e.g., GOODD) or detailed attributes for limited dam quantity or regions (e.g., GRanD and national inventories). One of the most comprehensive datasets, the World Register of Dams (WRD) maintained by the International Commission on Large Dams (ICOLD), documents nearly 60,000 dams with an extensive suite of attributes. Unfortunately, WRD records are not georeferenced, limiting the benefits of their attributes for spatially explicit applications. To bridge the gap between attribute accessibility and spatial explicitness, we introduce the Georeferenced global Dam And Reservoir (GeoDAR) dataset, created by utilizing online geocoding API and multi-source inventories. We release GeoDAR in two successive versions (v1.0 and v1.1) at https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.13670527. GeoDAR v1.0 holds 21,051 dam points georeferenced from WRD, whereas v1.1 consists of a) 23,680 dam points after a careful harmonization between GeoDAR v1.0 and GRanD and b) 20,214 reservoir polygons retrieved from high-resolution water masks. Due to geocoding challenges, GeoDAR spatially resolved 40 % of the records in WRD which, however, comprise over 90 % of the total reservoir area, catchment area, and reservoir storage capacity. GeoDAR does not release the proprietary WRD attributes, but upon individual user requests we can assist in associating GeoDAR spatial features with the WRD attribute information that users have acquired from ICOLD. With a dam quantity triple that of GRanD, GeoDAR significantly enhances the spatial details of smaller but more widespread dams and reservoirs, and complements other existing global dam inventories. Along with its extended attribute accessibility, GeoDAR is expected to benefit a broad range of applications in hydrologic modelling, water resource management, ecosystem health, and energy planning.\u0000","PeriodicalId":326085,"journal":{"name":"Earth System Science Data Discussions","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124375312","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Very large and comprehensive datasets are increasingly used in the field of hydrology. Large-sample studies provide insights into the hydrological cycle that might not be available with small-scale studies. LamaH (Large-Sample Data for Hydrology) is a new dataset for large-sample studies and comparative hydrology in Central Europe. It covers the entire upper Danube to the state border Austria/Slovakia, as well as all other Austrian catchments including their foreign upstream areas. LamaH covers an area of 170 000 km2 in 9 different countries, ranging from lowland regions characterized by a continental climate to high alpine zones dominated by snow and ice. Consequently, a wide diversity of properties is present in the individual catchments. We represent this variability in 859 observed catchments with over 60 catchment attributes, covering topography, climatology, hydrology, land cover, vegetation, soil and geological properties. LamaH further contains a collection of runoff time series as well as meteorological time series. These time series are provided with daily and also hourly resolution. All meteorological and the majority of runoff time series cover a span of over 35 years, which enables long-term analyses, also with a high temporal resolution. The runoff time series are classified by over 20 different attributes including information about human impacts and indicators for data quality and completeness. The structure of LamaH is based on the well-known CAMELS datasets. In contrast, however, LamaH does not only consider headwater basins. Intermediate catchments are also covered, allowing, for the first time within a hydrological large sample dataset, to consider the hydrological network and river topology in applications. We discuss not only the data basis and the methodology of data preparation, but also focus on possible limitations and uncertainties. Potential applications of LamaH are also outlined, since it is intended to serve as a uniform basis for further research.
