Global Regions From The World-Wide-HYPE Model​

Historical river flow in the World-Wide HYPE model is described and evaluated against observed river flow in the international journal Hydrology and Earth-System Sciences by:
Arheimer, B., Pimentel, R., Isberg, K., Crochemore, L., Andersson, J. C. M., Hasan, A., and Pineda, L., 2020. Global catchment modelling using World-Wide HYPE (WWH), open data and stepwise parameter estimation, Hydrol. Earth Syst. Sci. 24, 535–559, https://doi.org/10.5194/hess-24-535-2020
