Accurate streamflow data are essential for managing water resources and enhancing climate resilience worldwide. Yet, existing global streamflow datasets often lack accuracy or rely on sparse observations. To address these challenges, we present GLORIF1 (GLObal RIver Flow version 1), a comprehensive monthly river discharge dataset spanning 1979-2019. GLORIF1 is generated using a hybrid modeling approach that integrates the PCR-GLOBWB (PCRaster GLOBal Water Balance) hydrological model with a Random Forest (RF) algorithm. The dataset is trained on observation data from the Global River Discharge (GRDC) and validated with the independent data from the GSIM (Global Streamflow Indices and Metadata Archive) and RSEG (Remote Sensing-based Extension for the GRDC). With its global coverage and public accessibility, GLORIF1 can be used to support more accurate hydrological and water-related studies, making it a valuable resource for global hydrology studies.
