Data from: impacts of El Niño and La Niña on interannual snow accumulation in the Andes: results from a high-resolution 31 year reanalysis

The HDF5 files are a regridded form of the raw reanalysis results described in Cortes and Margulis (2017). The raw data was 180 m resolution on a UTM grid for each watershed over the domain. In the HDF5 files the grid is a regular lat/lon grid at a 0.001 degree resolution (i.e. ~100 m). For the SWE data, the data is provided as daily maps over the full water year. Within each HDF5 file, data is stored in “chunks” where each daily (or static) map represents a chunk. This allows for a single day’s worth of data be loaded if loading the full year is not needed. Maps are stored in row (lat) vs. column (lon) format. Time-varying map data are generally stored as integers to reduce file size with a no-data value (i.e. outside of the domain) of -32768. Latitude and longitude vectors are stored in each file.
