Description
From the website:
This dataset provides gridded modelled daily hydrological time series forced with meteorological reanalysis data. The data set is a product of the Global Flood Awareness System (GloFAS) and offers a consistent representation of key hydrological variables across the global domain including:
- River discharge
- Soil wetness index (root zone)
- Snow water equivalent
- Runoff water equivalent (surface plus subsurface)
Some key information:
- near global coverage
- covering years 1979 - 2025 (continuously updated)
- daily resolution
- website: https://ewds.climate.copernicus.eu/datasets/cems-glofas-historical?tab=overview
- it can be accessed through the
cdsapipackage.
Use cases:
- improved
hydromodelling

Research direction
Start with the GloFAS dataset overview and the cdsapi access details linked in the issue; no repository files or tests are named. Determine how dataset support should expose the listed hydrological variables for hydro modelling, and consider the work done when the dataset can be accessed through atlite's intended workflow.
