Mean runoff (m³/s) and flow regime types for the river network of Switzerland

For the entire Swiss river network natural runoff (m³/s) values (monthly and annual means) have been modeled and the flow regime types determined. «MQ-GWN-CH» constitutes a dataset for the entire medium-scale river network of Switzerland. No runoff values are given for rivers with watershed areas < 3 km²(limit of application of the underlying dataset) and ≥ 500 km²(given that in general for such cases a hydrometric station is available within a useful distance). The latter starts from the assumption that measured data are as a matter of principle to be preferred to modeled estimates.
