CAMELS-SE¶

Overview¶

CAMELS-SE is the Sweden hydrological dataset implementation. Swedish CAMELS dataset for Scandinavian catchments.

Dataset Information¶

Region: Sweden
Module: hydrodataset.camels_se
Class: CamelsSe

Features¶

Static Attributes¶

Static catchment attributes include: - Basin area - Mean precipitation - Topographic characteristics - Land cover information - Soil properties - Climate indices

Dynamic Variables¶

Timeseries variables available (varies by dataset): - Streamflow - Precipitation - Temperature (min, max, mean) - Potential evapotranspiration - Solar radiation - And more...

Usage¶

Basic Usage¶

from hydrodataset.camels_se import CamelsSe
from hydrodataset import SETTING

# Initialize dataset
data_path = SETTING["local_data_path"]["datasets-origin"]
ds = CamelsSe(data_path)

# Get basin IDs
basin_ids = ds.read_object_ids()
print(f"Number of basins: {len(basin_ids)}")

# Check available features
print("Static features:", ds.available_static_features)
print("Dynamic features:", ds.available_dynamic_features)

# Read timeseries data
timeseries = ds.read_ts_xrdataset(
    gage_id_lst=basin_ids[:5],
    t_range=ds.default_t_range,
    var_lst=["streamflow", "precipitation"]
)
print(timeseries)

# Read attribute data
attributes = ds.read_attr_xrdataset(
    gage_id_lst=basin_ids[:5],
    var_lst=["area", "p_mean"]
)
print(attributes)

Reading Specific Variables¶

# Read with specific time range
ts_data = ds.read_ts_xrdataset(
    gage_id_lst=basin_ids[:10],
    t_range=["1990-01-01", "1995-12-31"],
    var_lst=["streamflow", "precipitation", "temperature_mean"]
)

# Read basin area
areas = ds.read_area(gage_id_lst=basin_ids[:10])

# Read mean precipitation
mean_precip = ds.read_mean_prcp(gage_id_lst=basin_ids[:10])

Data Sources¶

The dataset supports multiple data sources for certain variables. Check the class documentation for available sources and use tuple notation to specify:

# Request specific data source
ts_data = ds.read_ts_xrdataset(
    gage_id_lst=basin_ids[:5],
    t_range=["1990-01-01", "1995-12-31"],
    var_lst=[
        ("precipitation", "era5land"),  # Specify ERA5-Land source
        "streamflow"  # Use default source
    ]
)
