Abstract:
Monthly river flow rates for Russia and former Soviet Union
countries in RDA dataset ds553.1 are augmented with data from the Russian State
Hydrological Institute (RSHI) and a few sites from the Global
Hydroclimatic Data Network (GHCDN) . This compendium (v1.1
September 2001) includes 2458 gauges spanning all major river and
oceanographic basins of the entire former Soviet Union. Exact
dates vary by station. Records are generally long: mean
length is 36.3 years and 1724 (70%) gauges have 25 or more years
of data. 1373 gauges have data to 1985 and another 909 gauges
also have some data from 1986-1995. 640 gauges represent
watersheds of 10000 or more square kilometers, and 1055 gauges represent
catchments of 1000-9999 square kilometers. The RSHI data additions have not
been scrutinized as rigorously as for those in ds553.1.

Metadata Record:
Citation counts are compiled through information provided by publicly-accessible APIs according to the guidelines developed through the https://makedatacount.org/ project. If journals do not provide citation information to these publicly-accessible services, then this citation information will not be included in RDA citation counts. Additionally citations that include dataset DOIs are the only types included in these counts, so legacy citations without DOIs, references found in publication acknowledgements, or references to a related publication that describes a dataset will not be included in these counts.
