Catchment boundaries, daily and sub-daily hydrometeorological time series, groundwater level time series and attributes for 671 catchments in Great Britain (CAMELS-GB v2)
This dataset provides catchment boundaries, hydro-meteorological timeseries and landscape attributes for 671 catchments across Great Britain. It collates river flows, river levels, groundwater levels, precipitation, potential evapotranspiration and temperature time series at monthly to hourly timescales. Daily hydro-meteorological timeseries are provided from 1st October 1970 – 30th September 2022, hourly hydro-meteorological timeseries are provided from 1st October 1990 09:00 to 1st October 2022 08:00, and groundwater level timeseries cover a range of time periods (ranging from 7 – 72 years with the earliest records beginning in the 1950s). A comprehensive set of catchment attributes are quantified describing a range of catchment characteristics including topography, climate, hydrology, land cover, soils, hydrogeology, hydrometry and human influences.

-
CAMELS-GB provides hydro-meteorological timeseries and catchment attributes for 671 catchments. The data are derived by calculating catchment averages from a range of national products, all of which have been through their own quality assurance procedures. For all datasets we have highlighted the key uncertainties and limitations of the underlying source data products and any methods used to derive the catchment attributes. This dataset is intended for the community as a freely available, easily accessible dataset to use in a wide range of environmental data and modelling analyses.
