Oder Composite Resource start=1980-01-01T00:00:00; end=2024-12-31T00:00:00 2026-03-31T09:50:45.473428+00:00 We present a gridded dataset for rainfall streamflow modeling that is fully spatially resolved and covers five complete river basins in central Europe: upper Danube, Elbe, Oder, Rhine, and Weser. We compiled meteorological forcings and a variety of ancillary information on soil, rock, land cover, and orography. The data is harmonized to a regular $9km \times 9km$ grid, temporal resolution is daily from 1980 to 2024. We also provide code to further combine our dataset with publicly available river discharge data for end-to-end rainfall streamflow modeling. We have used this data to demonstrate how neural network-driven hydrological modeling can be taken beyond lumped catchments, and want to facilitate direct comparisons between different model types.
