Total phosphorus transport and river runoff over Europe

A set of five simulations for river runoff and total phosphorus transport within the European riverine system, driven by human activity and climate change. These simulations were carried out with the Hydrological Discharge model (Hagemann et al. 2020).


The hindcast simulation utilizes hydrological forcings from HydroPy model (Stake and Hagemann, 2021) driven with the Global Soil Wetness Project Phase 3 (GWSP3; Dirmeyer et al. 2006; Kim 2017) atmospheric dataset, and phosphorus concentrations from the IMAGE-GNM model (Beusen et al. 2015).


The historical simulation, along with three future scenarios, utilize hydrological forcings derived from the global Earth system model GFDL-ESM4 (John et al.2018), and phosphorus concentrations base on a newly developed parameterization. This parametrization incorporates land-use types and fertilizer application data in the form of nitrogen amounts from the Land-Use Harmonization 2 (LUH2; Hurtt et al. 2020).


To account for the effects of human activity and climate change, the simulations employ three integrated scenarios that combine the Shared Socioeconomical Pathways (SSP) narratives and the Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP), specifically SSP1-RCP2.6, SSP3-RCP7.0 and SSP5-RCP8.5.

Attribute description
water_volume_transport_in_river_channel
Descriptor

The water flux or volume transport in rivers is the amount of water flowing in the river channel and flood plain. "Water" means water in all phases. [CF-Standard Name]; unit: m3 s-1

Attribute description
phosphorus_mass_transport_in_river_channel
Descriptor

The amount of total phosphorus mass transported in the river channels from land into the ocean. This quantity can be provided at a certain location within the river network and floodplain (over land) or at the river mouth (over ocean) where the river enters the ocean. "River" refers to water in the fluvial system (stream and floodplain). Phosphorus means phosphorus in all chemical forms, commonly referred to as "total phosphorus". [CF-Standard Name]; unit: kg s-1
