Essentailly a rehosted version of an exisiting database of standardised forcing data.

Caravan is a colection of Camels data sets (and others) from around the world collecting hydrological forcing and observation in a standardised way.

This dataset has been prepared to work nicely with eWaterCycle by Bart Schilperoort using this script which compresses and structures the original dataset NetCDF combining the files into one.

The Caravan data set has forcing from Era5-land, which differs from the original Camels dataset which used daymet, nldas and maurer.

For this reason the Camels-USA file was updated to now also include the original forcing alongside the Era5-land forcing caravan supplies.

Contains a total of 6830 basins from:
