...In addition to river basins, we used a set of subbasin units termed HydroBASINS (Lehner and Grill 2013) to assess the sensitivity of our index calculations to spatial scale....

...Catchment delineation is available globally (e.g., Lehner & Grill, 2013; Verdin, 2017), and this idea has been applied in several large‐scale models (e.g., Beighley et al., 2009, 2011; Goteti et al., 2008; Koster et al., 2000; Yamazaki et al., 2011, 2009), in which the land‐atmosphere flux exchange…...
