Monthly downstream accumulated runoff for the Australian continent between 1970-2012. The raw monthy gridded runoff values provided by eMAST_ANUClimate_mon_orof_v1m0_1970_2012 were converted to volumes in ML per month and resampled to 9 second resolution. These volumes were accumulated downstream according to the multiple flow direction grid associated with the GEODATA 9 second DEM version 3 (Hutchinson et al. 2008). The final outflow volume for each 0.01 degree grid cell, each consisting of sixteen 9 second grid cells, was then calculated by adding the accumulated downstream volume for each 9 second cell that had a flow direction out of the 0.01 grid cell. A full description of this analysis is in preparation.
Runoff is a major component of the water cycle.
