Domains from the Europe-HYPE Model

Historical river flow in the E-HYPE model is described and evaluated against observed river flow in the international journal Hydrological Science Journal by:

Donnelly, C, Andersson, J.C.M. and Arheimer, B. (2016): Using flow signatures and catchment similarities to evaluate a multi-basin model (E-HYPE) across Europe. Hydr. Sciences Journal 61(2):255-273, doi: 10.1080/02626667.2015.1027710

The standard package includes time series for the whole Europe or the costal zones of Europe. Click on the maps below to enlarge them.
