Abstract. The HYD-RESPONSES dataset (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.14713274; von Matt et al., 2025) provides new daily catchment-level time series for key hydro-meteorological variables, including precipitation, snow water equivalent, temperature, soil moisture, (potential) evaporation, and streamflow. The dataset covers 184 small to large Swiss catchments of the surface water monitoring network operated by the Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN). The catchments range across a variety of streamflow regime types, mean altitudes, biogeographic regions, and anthropogenic influences. The data set provides daily average streamflow derived from measurements by the FOEN and daily hydrometeorological data (precipitation, temperature, radiation, snow and soil moisture) on the catchment level extracted from spatially gridded data provided by MeteoSwiss (RhiresD, TabsD, TmaxD, TminD, SrelD), MeteoSwiss and the WSL Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research SLF (SPASS), SLF (OSHD), and the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts ECMWF (ERA5-Land). In addition, derived indicators related to snowfall, snowmelt, (potential) water balance and streamflow are provided. Information on precipitation, evaporation-driven and streamflow deficits are provided in form of standardized and non-standardized (drought/deficit) indices. Standardized indices include the SPI, SPEI and SMRI and are provided on multiple aggregation scales from 1 to 24 months (mostly in 3-monthly steps). Non-st...
