Time series and projections of snow water equivalent and snowmelt for High Mountain Asia

Supplementary model output to Kraaijenbrink et al. (2021). <strong>File descriptions</strong> <strong>snow_elasticity.nc</strong><br> Climatological response of <em>peak snow water equivalent</em>, <em>mean snow water equivalent</em>, and <em>mean snowmelt discharge</em> to bottom-up modulations of temperature and precipitation. NetCDF file format. <strong>snow_projections_cmip6_2071-2100.nc</strong><br> Snow water equivalent and snowmelt projections for the end of century (2071-2100) with respect to present day (2000–2019) based on CMIP6 SSP-RCP ensemble mean forcing. Includes projections of climatological change of <em>peak snow water equivalent</em>, <em>mean snow water equivalent</em>, and <em>mean snowmelt discharge</em>. Included CMIP6 experiments are ssp119, ssp126, ssp245, ssp370, ssp434, ssp460, and ssp585. NetCDF file format. <strong>snowmelt_daily_1979-2019.tar</strong><br> Archive with annual grids of daily aggregated snowmelt for the period 1979-09-01 to 2019-08-31. Tape archive format, netCDF grid format. <strong>snowpack_daily_1979-2019.tar</strong><br> Archive with annual grids of daily mean snowpack for the period 1979-09-01 to 2019-08-31. Tape archive format, netCDF grid format. All model output in this record has a grid resolution of 0.05° and uses WGS 1984 (EPSG:4326) as coordinate reference system. The model code used to generate these data is available here. Input data required to run the model are available here. <strong>Reference</strong> Kraaijenbrink, P. D. A., Stigter, E.
