The Discharge timestamp is corrected to the UTC timezone. Units are converted from cubic feet per second to cubic meter per second.

The `Global Runoff Data Centre <https://www.bafg.de/GRDC/EN/Home/homepage_node.html>`_ provides discharge data for a large number of stations around the world. In eWaterCycle we support GRDC data. This is not downloaded automatically, but required to be present on the infrastructure where the eWaterCycle platform is deployed. By special permission from GRDC our own instance contains data from the ArcticHYCOS and GCOS/GTN-H, GTN-R projects.

Observation data is needed to calculate metrics of the model performance or plot a hydrograph . The
ewatercycle package can use `Global Runoff Data Centre
(GRDC) <https://www.bafg.de/GRDC>`__ or `U.S. Geological Survey Water
(GRDC) <https://grdc.bafg.de/>`__ or `U.S. Geological Survey Water
Services (USGS) <https://waterservices.usgs.gov/>`__ data.

The GRDC daily data files can be ordered at
https://www.bafg.de/GRDC/EN/02_srvcs/21_tmsrs/riverdischarge_node.html.
https://grdc.bafg.de/GRDC/EN/02_srvcs/21_tmsrs/riverdischarge_node.html.

The GRDC files should be stored in ``ewatercycle.CFG.grdc_location``
directory.
