1) Data content (including elements and meanings): Gridded daily average air temperature of the Tibetan Plateau during 1980-2014 at 1-km resolution 2) Data source and processing method: Developed by integrating 8 types of reanalysis data (i.e., NNRP-2, 20CRV2c, JRA-55, ERA-Interim, MERRA2, CFSR, GLDAS and ERA5) downscaled with MODIS-estimated temperature lapse rates based on machine learing 3) Data quality description: According to leave-one-out validation based on stations, the average RMSE at China Adimistration Stations is about 1.7 ℃ and that at high-elevation field stations is about 1.9 ℃

The data include daily precipitation (Precip) amount and daily mean near-surface air temperature (T2M) over the Pan Third Pole region. The data is downscaled by using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model (3.7.1). The boundary and initial condition come from the fifth-generation global reanalysis product by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), ERA5. The seasonal cycle and summer mean of precipitation over Tibet is well reproduced in comparison to the in situ observations.
