Cumulative Basin Metrics (CBM)

climate

Mean values of selected metrics aggregated dow-/upstream

Details

The CBM dataset uses higher-level basin delineations of the HydroSHEDS dataset. For each pixel, the corresponding value is an average estimated along the downstream (or upstream) path of water based on the connectivity of each basin.
