| Zusammenfassung |
| Within four years the FP7 project eartH2Observe aims to develop a global water resources
re-analysis dataset based on the WFDEI forcing dataset, improved with earth observations
and extended with output from hydrological and land surface models that should be off value
for multi-scale water resources assessments and research projects. The Tier-1 dataset
presented here consists of a large number of earth observation datasets, a first run of a total of
nine global hydrological and land surface models for the period 1979 - 2012 and the
WFDEI forcing dataset. All model output has been reprocessed to 0.5x0.5 degree
resolution but higher resolution data from some models is also available. The current
dataset serves as a state of the art in current global hydrological modelling and as
benchmark for further improvements in the coming years. Within eartH2Observe
we promote the use of the newly available data at an early stage, feedback and
comments will enable the further improvement of the dataset. All data is made
available openly through a water cycle integrator portal, including visualisation,
analysis and collaboration tools, and at a lower level via the protocols of the open
geospatial consortium such as OPeNDAP, WCS and WMS via wci.earth2observe.eu. |
