Hydro-geomorphic Unit Hydrographs for 18,440 Tibetan Plateau Catchments

18,440 catchments across the Tibetan Plateau are characterized by hydro-geomorphic unit hydrographs and 18 attributes. The dataset was produced by Yuhan Guo of Tsinghua University using the WFIUH extraction framework on the HydroBASINS dataset. It characterizes the rainfall and runoff response relationship.

Use Cases

• Model rainfall-runoff response relationships based on unit hydrograph parameters
• Analyze catchment geomorphic characteristics based on the 18 included shape and feature attributes
• Study hydrological processes across the Tibetan Plateau based on the HydroBASINS catchment delineations

Strengths

• 18,440 catchments provide a large spatial sample
• Includes 18 attributes per catchment describing basic shape and geomorphic characteristics

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified
