Contents • River catchment selection. • Rainfall/river flow/climate Datasets. • Storm track analysis. • Catchment response time. • Climate analysis over catchment response times.
River catchments • Wide geographical spread. • Capture rainfall gradient across GB and • different geologies. • Includes Eden and Thames basins. • Common period 1975-2009.
River Catchments • Add rivers’ table
Datasets • Daily river flow time series (NRFA). • Daily 0.25x0.25 gridded precipitation from ensembles project. • Regional precipitation time series from Hadley Centre (for North Scotland and Southeast England). • Six hourly climate fields (e.g. MSLP) from 20th Century reanalysis project.
