ROBIN Dataset

The Reference Observatory of Basins for INternational hydrological climate change detection (ROBIN) project established a new long-term collaboration of international experts to establish and sustain a global reference hydrological network (RHN), through common standards, protocols, indicators, and data infrastructure. ‘Reference Hydrometric Networks’ (RHNs), consist of gauging stations whose catchments are relatively undisturbed and record high quality data and little missing data. The concept of RHNs, their history and evolution are described in (Whitfield et al., 2012) previously and many countries have already established RHNs, however this is the first initiative to bring them together at a global level. The ROBIN Full Dataset consists of 3,060 stations in 30 countries, however the dataset described here is the ROBIN Public Dataset which contains metadata records for all 3,060 stations and daily streamflow data for a total of 2,386 stations. This tiered approached was due to data sharing restrictions in some countries. More information about the ROBIN Network and dataset can be found on the project website: https://www.ceh.ac.uk/our-science/projects/robin
