Basic data set for water resources research in Southeast Asian countries andLancang-Mekong River Basin (1901-2010)- A Big Earth Data Platform for Three Poles

The basic data set of water resources research of Southeast Asian countries and Lancang Mekong basin (1901-2010) collected and sorted out the main hydrometeorological data of Southeast Asian countries and Lancang Mekong basin, including precipitation, average temperature, maximum temperature, minimum temperature, water vapor pressure, etc. the data came from CRU TS v. 4.03 (clinical research unit time series version 4.03), which is widely used in the whole world The format is NC, the time resolution is month by month, and the time length is from January 1901 to December 2018. Hydrological data includes surface runoff and underground runoff simulated by the hydrological model. The data comes from GLDAS (Global Land Data Assimilation System). The data format is NC, the time resolution is month by month, and the time length is from January 1979 to February 2019.

File naming and required software

The data set is stored in the NC format, and the file name is "Mekong_XXX. NC", where XXX represents the variable name, for example, "Mekong_pre. NC" represents the precipitation data set of the region.
