Historical (1950-2005) and projected (2006-2099) hydrological model (HMF-WA) estimates of monthly mean and annual maximum river flows across West Africa driven by CMIP5 projected climate data
This dataset comprises seven ensembles of hydrological model estimates of monthly mean and annual maximum river flows (m3s-1) on a 0.1° × 0.1° grid (approximate grid of 10 km × 10 km) across West Africa for historical (1950 to 2005) and projected future (2006 to 2099) periods. This dataset is the output from the Hydrological Modelling Framework for West Africa, or "HMF-WA" model. The ensembles correspond to historical and three projected future climate scenarios (RCP2.6, RCP4.5 and RCP8.5) with two future scenarios of water use. The scenarios of water use are (i) future water use that varies in line with projected population increases, and (ii) future water use is the same as present day. This dataset is an output from the regional scale hydrological modelling study from African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analysis-2050 (AMMA-2050) project.

- Statement
-
The monthly mean and annual maximum river flows estimates are output from the Hydrological Modelling Framework for West Africa, or “HMF-WA” model. The climatic inputs to the model were bias-corrected CMIP5 daily precipitation and potential evaporation derived from bias-corrected CMIP5 daily temperature data (near-surface air temperature and daily maximum and minimum surface air temperature). See Supporting Information for more details.
