R-ArcticNet: A Regional, Electronic, Hydrographic Data Network for the Arctic
Region
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/106.ARCSS062

Summary
R-ArcticNet is a comprehensive river discharge database that covers the entire
pan-Arctic drainage system. The collection comprises data from 9138 gauges and
contains monthly river discharge data extending from the 1890s (for four
Canadian and five Russian gauges) through the early 1990s, but the majority of
data was collected between 1960 and 2001. The pan-Arctic drainage region
covers a land area of approximately 21 million km2 and drains into the Arctic
Ocean as well as Hudson Bay, James Bay, and the Northern Bering Strait. The
collection also includes the Yukon and Anadyr River basins. Most of the
drainage basins in the database are greater than 15,000 km2; however, the
collection includes all available gauge data from Canada and Russia. Data from
gauges measuring large drainage areas are of greatest interest to the
regional, continental, and global-scale scientific community for modeling
purposes. Individual station data are accessible through a graphical
interface, or as tab-delimited ASCII text. Tab-delimited ASCII data are also
compiled by hydrological region and as a single file for the complete data
set.
