Time series of annual mass-change estimates for the world’s glaciers

This dataset of glacier mass changes is based on glacier observations from in-situ and remotely sensed observations from the WGMS Fluctuations of Glaciers database. Geostatistical modelling was used for the temporal downscaling of decadal glacier-wide elevation change estimates derived from satellite data with annual mass-change observations from field measurements. The resulting dataset contains the yearly mass-change time series for individual glaciers (CSV files) and the derived global gridded annual mass change product, aggregated at a spatial resolution of 0.5° latitude and longitude (NetCDF-4).
