GEOGLOWS is the Group on Earth Observation's Global Water Sustainability Program. It coordinates efforts from public
and private entities to make application ready river data more accessible and sustainably available to underdeveloped
regions. The GEOGLOWS Hydrological Model provides a retrospective and daily forecast of global river discharge at 7
million river sub-basins. The stream network is a hydrologically conditioned subset of the TDX-Hydro streams and
basins data produced by the United State's National Geospatial Intelligence Agency. The daily forecast provides 3
hourly average discharge in a 51 member ensemble and 15 day lead time derived from the ECMWF Integrated Forecast
System (IFS). The retrospective simulation is derived from ERA5 climate reanalysis data and provides daily average
streamflow beginning on 1 January 1940. New forecasts are uploaded daily and the retrospective simulation is updated
weekly on Sundays to keep the lag time between 5 and 12 days.
The geoglows-v2 bucket contains: (1) model configuration files used to generate the simulations, (2) the GIS streams
datasets used by the model, (3) the GIS streams datasets optimized for visualizations used by Esri's Living Atlas
layer, (4) several supporting table of metadata including country names, river names, hydrological properties used for
modeling.
The geoglows-v2-forecasts bucket contains: (1) daily 15 forecasts in zarr format optimized for time series queries of
all ensemble members in the prediction, (2) CSV formatted summary files optimized for producing time series animated
web maps for the entire global streams dataset.
The geoglows-v2-retrospective bucket contains: (1) the model retrospective outputs in (1a) zarr format optimized for
time series queries of up to a few hundred rivers on demand as well as (1b) in netCDF format best for bulk downloading
the dataset, (2) estimated return period flows for all 7 million million rivers (2a) in zarr format optimized for
reading subsets of the dataset as well as (2b) in netCDF format best for bulk downloading. (3) The initialization files
produced at the end of each incremental simulation useful for restarting the model from a specific date.
