Abstract:

This dataset contains ISIMIP3a (www.isimip.org, Frieler et al. 2023) simulation data from 9 global water models: CLASSIC (Melton et al. 2020), CWatM (Burek et al. 2020), ELM-ECA (Zhu et al. 2019), H08 (Hanasaki et al. 2017, Yoshida et al. 2021), HydroPy (Stacke et al. 2021), JULES-W2, JULES-W2-DDM30, MIROC-INTEG-LAND (Yokohata et al. 2020, Pokhrel et al. 2014, Takata et al. 2003), and WaterGAP2-2e (Müller Schmied et al. 2021).

The outputs are based on simulations according to the ISIMIP3a protocol (https://protocol.isimip.org) A more detailed description of the models are available on https://www.isimip.org.

Version 1.1 of this dataset adds data from ELM-ECA and additional variables for WaterGAP2-2e, and solves an issue with MIROC-INTEG-LAND (#40) .
