Description

This data set consists of a water budget reanalysis for the High Mountain Asia (HMA) region spanning the years 2003 through 2020. Estimates are provided for more than 30 parameters, including storages; fluxes; snow depth, extent, and snow water equivalent; temperature (land surface, soil, snow, and ice); surface albedo; soil moisture; evapotranspiration; and streamflow.

The data were generated using the Noah Multi-Parameterization (Noah-MP) land surface model (Version 4.0.1), driven by precipitation estimates and hydrological inputs developed specifically for HMA.
