Satellite-Derived River Discharge Data for the Yangtze River Basin

Supporting data and figures for a study on satellite-based river discharge estimation in the Yangtze River Basin. The repository includes Random Forest and empirical discharge results, SWOT-derived water surface elevation rasters, and spatially distributed discharge products. The data was published by author feng gan on figshare under a CC-BY-4.0 license and last updated on 2026-05-07.

Use Cases

• Evaluating Random Forest-based discharge estimation models based on the provided results.
• Analyzing SWOT satellite-derived water surface elevation data for hydrological applications.
• Validating spatially distributed river discharge products mentioned in the description.
• Reproducing the visualizations and analyses from the associated manuscript.

Strengths

• Data is openly shared under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.
• Includes multiple data types (model results, raster data, products) supporting a specific study.
• Associated with a peer-reviewed manuscript, providing context for the data.

Limitations

• The total size is 2.9 MB, indicating a relatively small dataset.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
