Long-term satellite river discharge (RD) time series have been derived at specified locations[1], utilizing the methodology outlined in detail in [2].

In this context, river discharge represents the discharge in cubic meters per second (m3/s) obtained through the rating curve computation facilitated by in-situ discharge and water surface elevation (WSE) merged time series, as computed in [2] over the calibration period (individually defined for each station and summarized in the ATBD [3])
