MERIT Basins (Multi-Error-Removed Improved-Terrain Basins)

MERIT Basins is a dataset derived from the MERIT Hydro digital elevation model, delineating global river basins and sub- basins. It provides information on basin boundaries and hydrological flow directions, making it suitable for hydrological modeling and water resource management. The dataset supports large-scale studies of river networks and basin-level hydrology.

This dataset contains data with the following attributes:

* Time Resolution: N/A

* Spatial Resolution: N/A

* DOI: 10.1029/2019WR025287

* Link: https://app.globus.org/file-manager?origin_id=42666942-fcce-4b56-9087-fd9c1c75d0ef&origin_path=%2F

**Tips:**

* Use echo $ENV_NAME to check the environment value.

* To see all environment variables related to MERIT_BASINS, you can load the module then use: env | grep MERIT_BASINS

* To unload the module and remove the environment settings: module unload MERIT_BASINS

Usage
-----

To find and load available datasets::

    $ module avail
