Data underlying the publication: Global Glacier Mass Loss During the GRACE Satellite Mission (2002-2016)

This collection contains mass changes for 17 glacier regions between 2002 and 2016 as time series and annual mass balances as published in:<br><br>Wouters B, Gardner AS and Moholdt G (2019) Global Glacier Mass Loss During the GRACE Satellite Mission (2002-2016). Front. Earth Sci. 7:96. doi: 10.3389/feart.2019.00096<br><br>*** Time serie files GRACE_no_GIA_err.zip (= time series with GIA correction applied and cumulative GIA uncertainties INCLUDED in total uncertainties) and GRACE_no_GIA_noerr.zip ( = time series with GIA correction applied but cumulative GIA uncertainties NOT INCLUDED in total uncertainties):<br><br>First column: files contain data (decimal years)<br>Second column: mass anomaly w.r.t. arbitrary reference [Gigatonnes]<br>Third column: uncertainty estimate [Gigatonnes]<br><br>*** The annual mass balance files contain mass change between Mar 31 and Apr 1 and Sep 30 - Oct 1, respectively, for the 17 RGI regions defined in our Frontiers paper. Two files are provided, as total mass balance and specific mass balance.

本数据集包含2002年至2016年间17个冰川区域的时间序列质量变化数据，以及发表于以下文献的年度质量平衡数据：<br><br>Wouters B、Gardner AS及Moholdt G于2019年发表的《GRACE卫星任务期间（2002-2016年）全球冰川质量损失》，刊载于《前沿地球科学》第7卷第96期，DOI: 10.3389/feart.2019.00096<br><br>*** 时间序列文件分为两类：<br>1. GRACE_no_GIA_err.zip：已应用冰川均衡调整（Glacial Isostatic Adjustment, GIA）修正，且总不确定度中包含累积GIA不确定度；<br>2. GRACE_no_GIA_noerr.zip：已应用冰川均衡调整修正，但总不确定度中未包含累积GIA不确定度。<br><br>两类文件的数据列格式如下：<br>第一列：十进制年份格式的数据；<br>第二列：相对于任意参考基准的质量异常值 [吉吨（Gigatonnes）；<br>第三列：不确定度估计值 [吉吨（Gigatonnes）]。<br><br>*** 年度质量平衡文件包含本研究发表于《前沿》论文中定义的17个兰道夫冰川编目（Randolph Glacier Inventory, RGI）区域的质量变化数据，覆盖3月31日至4月1日、9月30日至10月1日两个时段。本次共提供两类文件，分别为总质量平衡文件与比质量平衡文件。
