The catchment attributes and performance for a particular regionalisation method are available for each catchment and include: area, mean
catchment elevation, mean annual precipitation (P A ), mean annual potential evaporation (E PA ) and mean annual air temperature (T A ).
Groups of regionalisation methods are spatial proximity methods (SP), similarity methods (SM), parameter regression methods (R),
model averaging methods (MA) and regional calibration methods (RC).
