CAMELS-CZ: A catchment attribute database for hydrological and climatological studies using a large sample of catchments
Original language description
Hydrological methods based on the analysis of data from a large sample of catchments with different characteristics (large-sample hydrology; comparative hydrology) allow a comprehensive analysis of the hydrological regime and thus a description of hydrological variability and change in the components of the water balance. These methods provide insight into hydrological processes shaped by environmental and climatic factors and allow more general conclusions to be drawn. However, besides climate and runoff data, catchment attributes, such as geology, soils, topography and vegetation, are essential for effective hydrological behaviour analysis. For these reasons, the global hydrological community has recently developed a number of freely available large-scale datasets known as CAMELS (Catchment Attributes and MEteorology for Large-sample Studies), which provide catchment attributes, as well as hydrological and meteorological time series, in a comparable structure at national scales. The aim of this contribution is to present the current state of preparation of the CAMELS database for Czechia (CAMELS-CZ) as a reference data platform for analysis and modelling, using a large sample of catchments.
