| Provenance | Local runoff is an essential climate variable (ECV) computed by the HYPE hydrological model. Details about computations for different domains and time periods are given here. | ||||||
| Calculation caveats | Spatial representation: S5 Could be compared to: C3 Could be used with: U4 |
||||||
| Motivation | Fundamental indicator for flood risk and water resource management. | ||||||
| Experience user | These variables are of use for many additional applications. | ||||||
