Caravan is an open community dataset of meteorological forcing data, catchment attributes, and discharge daat for catchments around the world. Additionally, Caravan provides code to derive meteorological forcing data and catchment attributes from the same data sources in the cloud, making it easy for anyone to extend Caravan to new catchments. The vision of Caravan is to provide the foundation for a truly global open source community resource that will grow over time.

If you use Caravan in your research, it would be appreciated to not only cite Caravan itself, but also the source datasets, to pay respect to the amount of work that was put into the creation of these datasets and that made Caravan possible in the first place.

Channel Log:

23 May 2022: Version 0.2 - Resolved a bug when renaming the LamaH gauge ids from the LamaH ids to the official gauge ids provided as "govnr" in the LamaH dataset attribute files.

24 May 2022: Version 0.3 - Fixed gaps in forcing data in some "camels" (US) basins.

15 June 2022: Version 0.4 - Fixed replacing negative CAMELS US values with NaN (-999 in CAMELS indicates missing observation).

1 December 2022: Version 0.4 - Added 4298 basins in the US, Canada and Mexico (part of HYSETS), now totalling to 6830 basins. Fixed a bug in the computation of catchment attributes that are defined as pour point properties, where sometimes the wrong HydroATLAS polygon was picked. Restructured the attribute files and added some more meta data (station name and country).

16 January 2023: Version 1.0 - Version of the official paper release. No changes in the data but added a static copy of the accompanying code of the paper. For the most up to date version, please check https://github.com/kratzert/Caravan

10 May 2023: Version 1.1 - No data change, just update data description.

17 May 2023: Version 1.2 - Updated a handful of attribute values that were affected by a bug in their derivation. See https://github.com/kratzert/Caravan/issues/22 for details.

16 April 2024: Version 1.4 - Added 9130 gauges from the original source dataset that were initially not included because of the area thresholds (i.e. basins smaller than 100sqkm or larger than 2000sqkm). Also extended the forcing period for all gauges (including the original ones) to 1950-2023. Added two different download options that include timeseries data only as either csv files (Caravan-csv.tar.xz) or netcdf files (Caravan-nc.tar.xz). Including the large basins also required an update in the earth engine code

16 Jan 2025: Version 1.5 - Added FAO Penman-Monteith PET (potential_evaporation_sum_FAO_PENMAN_MONTEITH) and renamed the ERA5-LAND potential_evaporation band to potential_evaporation_sum_ERA5_LAND. Also added all PET-related climated indices derived with the Penman-Monteith PET band (suffix "_FAO_PM") and renamed the old PET-related indices accordingly (suffix "_ERA5_LAND").

The bi-annual statistical Count of Traveller Caravans count of the number of caravans on both authorised and unauthorised sites across England. The count takes place every January and June.

The number of travel accommodations incl. camping grounds, recreational vehicle parks and trailer parks in France saw no significant changes in 2024 in comparison to the previous year 2023 and remained at around 8,014 establishments. Still, 2024 marked the second consecutive decline of the number of travel accommodations in this industry. According to Eurostat, the local unit is an enterprise or part thereof situated in a geographically identified place. At or from this place economic activity is carried out for which - save for certain exceptions - one or more persons work (even if only part-time) for one and the same enterprise. The accommodation establishment conforms to the definition of local unit as the production unit. This is irrespective of whether the accommodation of tourists is the main or secondary activity. This means that all establishments are classified in the accommodation sector if their capacity exceeds the national minimum even if the major part of turnover may come from restaurant or other services.Find more statistics on camping grounds, recreational vehicle parks and trailer parks in France with key insights such as number of tourist overnight stays in travel accommodation, number of tourist overnight stays in travel accommodation, and arrivals at tourist accomodations of foreign countries.

Czech Republic Number of Tent and Caravan Place: Other Accommodations: Others data is updated yearly, averaging 1,188.000 Unit from Dec 2000 (Median) to 2024, with 25 observations. The data reached an all-time high of 1,909.000 Unit in 2007 and a record low of 869.000 Unit in 2001. Czech Republic Number of Tent and Caravan Place: Other Accommodations: Others data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by Czech Statistical Office. The data is categorized under Global Database’s Czech Republic – Table CZ.Q003: Accommodation Establishments Statistics.

Statistics illustrates the net export volume of Trailers and Semi-Trailers of The Caravan Type, for Housing or Camping in Austria from 2007 to 2024 by trade partner.

As of 2018, there were roughly 6,630 caravan registrations in the Netherlands, which is a decrease of roughly 60 caravans compared to the previous year. Furthermore, since 2007, the number of registered caravans decreased significantly from approximately 14,600 in 2007 to 5,490 in 2014. From 2015 onwards, in the registration volume slightly increased again, despite the small decrease in the most recent year.

Sweden and Norway were estimated to be the largest caravan and camping markets in the Nordics in 2024, based on revenue. In that year, campgrounds in these two countries were expected to achieve a revenue above 200 million euros.

Statistics illustrates consumption, production, prices, and trade of Trailers and Semi-Trailers of The Caravan Type, for Housing or Camping in Algeria from 2007 to 2024.

In Feburary 2025, there were approximately 1,500 new trailers registered in Germany, compared to about 4,900 new motor homes. Numbers fluctuated for both categories during the timeline displayed, though peaks were always recorded between the months of May and July, which is to be expected during the spring and summer seasons. The number of people preferring camping vacations had increased since the pandemic.

Large-sample datasets are essential in hydrological science to support modelling studies and global assessments. This dataset is an extension to Caravan, a global community dataset of meteorological forcing data, catchment attributes, and discharge data for catchments around the world (Kratzert et al. 20231). The extension includes a subset of those hydrological discharge data and station-based watersheds from the Global Runoff Data Centre (GRDC), which are covered by an open data policy (Attribution 4.0 International; CC BY 4.0). In total, the dataset covers stations from 5357 catchments and 25 countries worldwide with a time series record from 1950 – 2022. GRDC is an international data centre operating under the auspices of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) at the German Federal Institute of Hydrology (BfG). Established in 1988, it holds the most substantive collection of quality assured river discharge data worldwide. Primary providers of river discharge data and associated metadata are the National Hydrological and Hydro-Meteorological Services of WMO Member States. 1Kratzert, F., Nearing, G., Addor, N. et al.
