DECIPHeR model estimates of daily flow for 1366 gauged catchments in Great Britain (1962-2015) using observed driving data
The dataset was produced as part of MaRIUS (Managing the Risks, Impacts and Uncertainties of drought and water Scarcity) to provide national scale probabilistic flow simulations and predictions for UK drought risk analysis. MaRIUS was a UK NERC-funded research project (2014-2017) that developed a risk-based approach to drought and water scarcity.

Provenance & quality
DECIPHeR (V1) was run from 1961-2015 using 100,000 monte carlo model parameter sets. Model performance was evaluated over a 54 year timeseries (1962-2015) using a multi-objective approach comprising four evaluation metrics. The evaluation metrics were chosen to quantify the model’s ability to capture a range of hydrologic behaviour including maintaining overall water balance, capturing flow variability, reproducing low and high flows and the timing of flows.
The top ‘multi-objective’ scoring 100 model simulations for each of the 1,366 gauges are supplied as daily river flow timeseries. Metadata comprising the model parameters and performance for the 100 ensemble members is also supplied to allow the user to interrogate the performance of the model and assist in the interpretation of the results.
