Abstract
In order to study the historic operations of regulated waterbodies and to predict future conditions (outflow from lakes and level of reservoir), we collect streamflow and water level data for regulated lakes and waterbodies throughout the Arctic drainage basin. This dataset contains historic, measured timeseries for discrete locations describing key hydrometric variables (inflow, outflow, and reservoir levels) for regulated waterbodies throughout the Arctic drainage basin (primarily Nelson, Churchill, Moose, Albany, Yukon, Yenisey, Ob, and Lena rivers). These data are collected from open-source (governmental and non-governmental) organizations and used with acknowledgement.
Purpose
The purpose is to develop a reservoir module that will work with any hydrological models and land surface schemes. As part of this work, reservoir data from dozens of reservoirs across the Arctic drainage basin was collected. This project supports the Water Resources Management theme of the Core Modelling and Forecasting Team.
