European Catchment Climate Reanalysis Data (GFZ Data Services)
Catchment-averaged daily time series of five meteorological/hydrological parameters (rainfall, soil moisture saturation, snowmelt, snow cover, convective conditions) for 3872 European hydrometric station catchments (1960-2010), derived from a 0.11-degree reanalysis.

What you can do with it
Typical work that data of this type supports.
- 01
Melt runoff
Forecast snowmelt contributions to rivers.
Because it has: snowmelt
- 02
Glacier change
Track glacier retreat over decades.
- 03
Design flows
Estimate 1-in-50 and 1-in-100 year floods for bridges, culverts and spillways.
Because it has: catchment-aggregated reanalysis
Where AI adds value
Ideas for machine learning and AI agents built on this kind of data.
- 01
Cloud-free snow maps
Fill snow cover hidden by cloud with ML.
- 02
Melt-season flows
Predict melt-season river flow from snow and weather.
- 03
Flow forecasting
Train LSTM-style models on past records to forecast river levels and flow days ahead.
