Abstract

The Saint John River Basin (SJRB) is an important transboundary coastal river basin in northeastern North America. Meteorological forcing data play a pivotal role in model performance and therefore can introduce a large degree of uncertainty in hydrological modelling. The data archived here comprises the processed meteorological and spatial dataset used for the modelling purpose for SJRB as reported in Budhathoki et al., 2021.

Purpose

For Core Modelling, the data is generated under Current generation hydrological modelling theme which aims to perform hydrological modelling and future climate change scenarios runs in Saint John River Basin.
