danube: Upper Danube basin dataset

Description

A dataset containing river discharge data for tributaries of the Danube.

Usage

danube

Arguments

Format

A named list with four entries

data_clustered: A numeric matrix, containing pre-processed discharge data for each gauging station
data_raw: A numeric matrix, containing daily (raw) discharge data for each gauging station
info: A data frame, containing information about each gauging station
flow_edges: A two-column numeric matrix. Each row contains the indices (in info) of a pair of gauging stations that are directly connected by a river.

Details

To obtain the matrix data, the daily discharge data from the summer months of 1960 to 2010, given in dailyData, was declustered, yielding between seven and ten observations per year. Each row corresponds to one observation from this declustered time series, the non-unique rownames indicate which year an observation is from. Each column corresponds to one of the gauging stations, with column indices in data corresponding to row indices in info. See asadi2015graphicalExtremes for details on the preprocessing and declustering.

info is a data frame containing the following information for each of the gauging stations or its corresponding catchment area:

RivNames: Name of the river at the gauging station
Lat, Long: Coordinates of the gauging station
Lat_Center, Long_Center: Coordinates of the center of the catchment corresponding to the gauging station
Alt: Mean altitude of the catchment
Area: Area of the catchment corresponding to the gauging station
Slope: Mean slope of the catchment
PlotCoordX, PlotCoordY: X-Y-coordinates which can be used to arrange the gauging stations when plotting a flow graph.
