This band was upscaled to 18 arc seconds from the original 3 arc seconds for better visualization at global scale. |\n| `upa` | km\\^2 | meters | Upstream drainage area (flow accumulation area). This band was upscaled to 18 arc seconds from the original 3 arc seconds for better visualization at global scale. |\n\n### Terms of Use\n\n**Terms of Use**\n\nCitation to the paper is adequate if you simply use MERIT Hydro.
