Abstract

The presented dataset EU-MOHP v013.1.1 provides cross-scale information on the hydrologic position (MOHP) of a geographic point within its respective river network and catchment as gridded maps. More precisely, it comprises the three measures “lateral position” (LP) as a relative measure of the position between the stream and the catchment divide, “divide to stream distance” (DSD) as sum of the distances to the nearest stream and divide and “stream distance” (SD) as an absolute measure of the distance to the nearest stream. These three measures are calculated for several hydrologic orders to reflect different spatial scales. Its spatial extent covers major parts of the European Economic Area (EEA39) which also largely coincides with physiographical Europe. Although there are multiple potential use cases, this dataset serves predominantly as valuable static environmental feature or predictor variable for hydrogeological and hydrological modelling such as mapping or forecasting tasks using machine learning. The generation of this dataset uses free open source software only and therefore can be transferred to other regions or input datasets.
