Global reanalysis of riverine water levels at the river mouth

<p>Dataset prepared for manuscript &quot;The effect of surge on riverine flood hazard and impact in deltas globally&quot; (Eilander <em>et al </em>2020)</p> <p>This dataset includes water level data and discharge at 3433 river mouth locations globally, including several components of&nbsp; nearshore still water levels based on a model framework for global compound flood simulations. We usedof runoff from tier 2 of the EartH2Observe (E2O) project (Dutra <em>et al</em> 2017, Schellekens <em>et al</em> 2017) with meteorological forcing from ERA-Interim (Dee <em>et al</em> 2011) and MSWEP v1.2 (Beck <em>et al</em> 2017), surge levels from the Global Tide and Surge Reanalysis (GTSR) based on the GTSM model (Muis <em>et al</em> 2016), and tide levels from the FES2012 model (Carrere <em>et al</em> 2012). These runoff and dynamic sea level (surge and tide) data were used to force the global river routing model CaMa-Flood (Yamazaki <em>et al</em> 2011) to simulate riverine water levels.</p> <p>The accompanying excel file provides an table explaining the data dimensions, variables and metadata.</p>
