Short summary
We present the second version of a large-sample catchment hydrology dataset for Great Britain. The dataset collates (1) climate, river flow and groundwater timeseries at hourly to monthly timescales, (2) catchment attributes characterising topography, climate, streamflow, land cover, soils, hydrogeology and human influences, and (3) catchment boundaries for 671 catchments across Great Britain. The dataset is publicly available to use in a wide range of environmental and modelling analyses.
