-
Saturated soil water content calculated over the Litani River Basin area in Lebanon. The dataset is derived from the High Resolution Soil Map of Hydraulic Properties (HiHydroSoils v1.0).
-
Saturated soil water content calculated over the Jordan River Basin area in Jordan. The dataset is derived from the High Resolution Soil Map of Hydraulic Properties (HiHydroSoils v1.0).
-
Saturated soil water content calculated over the Nile River Basin area. The dataset is derived from the High Resolution Soil Map of Hydraulic Properties (HiHydroSoils v1.0).
-
Precipitation minus actual evapotranspiration (P-ET) calculated over the Nile River Basin. The P-ET is the difference between WaPOR precipitation (based on CHIRPS) and the actual evapotranspiration and interception.
-
The evapotranspiration from precipitation (ETRAIN) is the portion of the actual evapotranspiration and Interception (ETIa) that is satified from precipitation. It is computed from precipitation, actual evapotranspiration and soil moisture and calculated by spliting ETIa to rainfall and incremental ET using pixel based Soil Moisture Water Balance Model (SMWBM).
-
The incremental evapotranspiration is part of the actual evapotranspiration and Interception (ETIa) that is not satified from precipitation but from supply or runoff from other cells or from groundwater. It is calculated by spliting ETIa to rainfall and incremental ET using pixel based soil moisture water balance model.
-
Number of rainy days calculated in the Nile basin area. For every pixel, the number of rainy days in a month is reported. This dataset is created by using daily rainfall data from WaPOR precipitation data.
-
The actual EvapoTranspiration and Interception (ETIa) is the sum of the soil evaporation (E), canopy transpiration (T), and evaporation from rainfall intercepted by leaves (I). The value of each pixel represents the ETIa in a given year. The data is provided in near real time from January 2009 to present.
-
Interception is the process where rainfall is captured by the leaves. Part of this captured rainfall will evaporate again. The Interception (I) data component represents the evaporation of intercepted rainfall from the vegetation canopy. The value of each pixel represents the total annual interception for that specific year. The data is provided in near real time from January 2009 to present.
-
Net Primary Production (NPP) is a fundamental characteristic of an ecosystem, expressing the conversion of carbon dioxide into biomass driven by photosynthesis. The pixel value represents the total NPP for that specific month. The data is provided in near real time from January 2015 to present.
