Data Description: The HYD-RESPONSES dataset provides daily catchment-level time-series for key hydro-meteorological variables (including precipitation, snow water equivalent, temperature, soil moisture, evaporation and streamflow). The data set covers 184 small to large FOEN-catchments in Switzerland. The catchments range across a variety of streamflow regime types, mean altitudes, biogeographic regions and anthropogenic influences.The time series data was aggregated from high-resolution spatially gridded products provided by MeteoSwiss (RhiresD, TabsD, TmaxD, TminD, SrelD), MeteoSwiss and the WSL Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research (SLF) (SPASS), SLF (OSHD) and ECMWF (ERA5-LAND). Daily average streamflow measurement series were provided by the Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN). Indicators related to snowfall, snowmelt and (potential) water balance were derived. The dataset further provides three standardized drought indices (SPI, SPEI, SMRI) for multiple aggregation-scales from 1 to 24 months (mostly in 3-monthly steps). Additional indicators of accumulated water deficits are provided by time series of cumulative deficits for both (potential) water balance and streamflow.For all variables and indices, the climatology and the (standardized) anomalies are available at various time scales (daily, monthly, seasonal, and yearly). Drought event time series are provided for both variable and fixed threshold definitions and are accompanied by characteristics on event duration. Detailed catchment descriptors were also extracted from various input products and are provided for all catchments. Data Organization: - Dataset provided as .zip-File- Data files are provided in .csv-Format (semi-colon separator)- The README.txt provides a detailed documentation of folders, data structure, variables and file-naming conventions.- Catchment outlets and outlines are provided as ESRI shapefiles (.shp)- Code examples are provided Folder structure: code_examplesdata├── 01_timeseries│ ├── 01_base_variables│ ├── 02_derived_variables│ ├── 03_anomalies│ │ └── zscores│ ├── 04_standardized_indices│ │ ├── SMRI│ │ ├── SPEI│ │ └── SPI│ ├── 05_cumulative_deficits│ └── 06_events_nrs│ ├── cumulative_deficits│ └── hydrological_events├── 02_climatology│ ├── DOY_movingwindow│ └── regular└── 03_descriptive Further reading methodological details: A paper describing the dataset in detail is in preparation.The detailed data documentation can also be found here: Code Examples (Tutorial): A tutorial demonstrating the handling and use of the HYD-RESPONSES dataset can be found at:https://github.com/codicolus/HYD-RESPONSES Funding: The HYD-RESPONSES project was funded by the Swiss Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN).
