1. summary: Dai & Trenberth Interannual monthly river discharge, 1948-2011. 2. created by: Steve Yeager 3. date and time: Apr 2012 4. platform: mirage.ucar.edu 5. dataset format: netcdf 6. endian: N/A 7. archival copy location: 8. creation details: Aiguo Dai provided the following raw dataset which contained monthly discharge values from 1948-2006: monthly-dis-Oct1947-Dec2006-2d-scaled-con.bin The data was converted to a flux in kg/s/m^2, and written to netcdf with fields required by the dlnd7. The months from 01/2007 to 12/2011 were filled in with climatology. The climatological fill used for 2007-2011 was the same as that used by Dai for missing rivers after Oct 2004: 5-year climatology from 10/1999-9/2004. Time-invariant runoff was added for Antarctica based on Large's value of 73000000.0 kg/s (=0.073Sv) for this continent. 9. derived from: /cgd/oce/yeager/OBS/river_runoff/Oct2010.update/ monthly-dis-Oct1947-Dec2006-2d-scaled-con.bin (obtained by personal communication with A.
