Group: Summary
This comprehensive river discharge database covers the entire pan-Arctic
drainage system. The collection comprises data from 9138 gauges and contains
monthly river discharge data extending from the 1890s (for four Canadian and
five Russian gauges) through the early 1990s, but the majority of data was
collected between 1960 and 2001.
The pan-Arctic drainage region covers a land area of approximately 21 million
km2 and drains into the Arctic Ocean as well as Hudson Bay, James
Bay, and the Northern Bering Strait. The collection also includes the Yukon
and Anadyr River basins. Most of the drainage basins in the database are
greater than 15,000 km2; however, the collection includes all
available gauge data from Canada and Russia. Data from gauges measuring large
drainage areas are of greatest interest to the regional, continental, and
global-scale scientific community for modeling purposes. Individual station
data are accessible through a graphical interface, or as tab-delimited ASCII
text. Tab-delimited ASCII data are also compiled by hydrological region and as
a single file for the complete data set.
