SAFARI 2000 River Discharge Data (Coe and Olejniczak) The data set consists of southern Africa subset of the CPEP Global River Discharge Data Set. The Climate, People, and Environment Program (CPEP) global river discharge data set is a compilation of monthly mean discharge data for over 2600 sites worldwide. The data sources are RivDis2.0, the United States Geological Survey, and Brazilian National Department of Water and Electrical Energy. The period of record is variable; from 3 years to greater than 100. The purpose of this compilation is to provide detailed hydrographic information to the climate research community in as general a format as possible. The data are freely available from our web site. Data is provided in units of meters cubed per second (m**3/sec). Data from stations with less than 3 years of information or with basin area less than 5000 km2 were excluded from this compilation. Therefore the original sources may have more sites available. No further documentation is available on this data set. Users should refer to the data originators for documentation. The southern Africa subset of the CPEP Discharge Data Set can be downloaded either by individual stations or for the entire southern Africa subset area. The entire subset download consists of a single file, cpep_discharge.zip. This is a PKZip compressed file. Once the file is uncompressed there will be 116 files each for an individual station. The naming convention used is that of the original CPEP data - #####.sum - where ##### is the CPEP Discharge Data Set id number. The data is provided in ASCII format. The files contain monthly mean data and, for those years in which data are recorded for each month, annual means as well. Data is provided in units of meters cubed per second (m3/sec). Data from stations with less than 3 years of information or with basin area less than 5000 km2 were excluded from the original CPEP compilation. Therefore the original sources may have more sites available. Data Citation: Cite this data set as follows: Coe, Michael T., and Nick Olejniczak. 2002.

These files were compressed using Aladdin's DropZip on a Macintosh. DropZip uses the Lempel-Ziv algorithm, also used in Zip and PKZIP programs. The compressed files may be uncompressed using PKZIP (with the -expand option) on MS Windows and UNIX, or with StuffIt Expander on the Mac OS. You can get newer versions from the PKZIP Web site at http://www.pkware.com/shareware/. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CPEP Discharge Data Set ID Number Table --------------------------------------- The following table shows the country, the river, the station, the location, and and the ID number. This ID number can be used to find the file containing the data for that station.
