Supporting Documentation of the ROBIN Dataset
This document provides supporting information for the ROBIN Public Dataset, a global collection of daily streamflow data from 2,386 hydrometric stations across 30 countries, spanning the period 1863–2022. It details the data collection methods, quality control procedures, metadata structure, and classification criteria for Reference Hydrological Networks (RHNs). The documentation also includes descriptions of catchment attributes, climate classifications, and data formatting standards to facilitate informed use of the dataset.
