This dataset is an 8-year (2011-2018) global spatiotemporally consistent surface soil moisture dataset with a 25km spatial grid resolution and daily temporal step in unit of cm3/cm3. This dataset is developed by applying a linear weight fusion algorithm based on the Triple Collocation Analysis (TCA) to merge the five soil moisture data products, i.e., SMOS, ASCAT, FY3B, CCI and SMAP in two steps. The first step is to fuse the SMOS, ASCAT and FY3B soil moisture products from 2011 to 2018. The second step is to refuse the merged soil moisture product in the first step, CCI and SMAP products from 2015 to 2018, and to obtain the finally merged soil moisture product from 2011 to 2018. In addition, the measured soil moisture data from seven ground observation networks around the world are used to evaluate and analyze the merged soil moisture product. The fused soil moisture product has the global spatial coverage ratio of more than 80%. With rhe minimum RMSE (root mean square error) of 0.036 cm3/cm3.

In the context of global change, the spatio-temporal continuous high-quality high-resolution long time series precipitation data set is of great significance for understanding the global "water carbon energy" and biogeochemical cycle mechanism. The daily total volume controlled merging and disaggregation algorithm (DTVCMDA) proposed in this study effectively considers the characteristics of continuous space-time and high spatial and temporal resolution of reanalysed precipitation data, as well as the high quality of ground analysis data, A set of AERA5 Asia (0.1 °, hourly, 1951-2015, Asia) precipitation data set with high quality and high spatial and temporal resolution for more than 70 years of long time series in Asia has been produced. The main features of the dataset are as follows: (1) AERA5 Asia is a set of data sets with high resolution, high quality, space-time continuity and long time series; (2) AERA5 Asia is significantly better than IMERG Final and ERA5 Land precipitation data, especially in terms of system deviation. In general, the deviation of AERA5 Asia, IMERG Final and ERA5 Land compared with ground observation is~5%,~11% and~20% respectively; (3) In extreme heavy rainfall (such as typhoons "Tamei" and "Tiantu"), the quality of AERA5 Asia is also significantly better than ERA5 Land and IMERG Final. AERA5 Asia will provide stable and reliable precipitation data support for relevant research in the weather, climate, hydrology and other fields in Asia, especially in China.

1) Data content This data set includes lake evaporation data of Bamco, La'angco in the summer and autumn of 2019-2021 and Longmuco in the summer and autumn of 2020-2021. The meteorological data required for the calculation of evaporation data are obtained from the automatic meteorological station set up at the lake side, with the observation height of 1.5m. Lake location: Bamco (90.59 ° E, 31.29 ° N), La'anco (81.24 ° E, 30.72 ° N), Longmucuo (80.47 ° E, 34.60 ° N). Coordinates of automatic weather stations: Bamco AWS (90.65 ° E, 31.30 ° N), La'anco AWS (81.22 ° E, 30.73 ° N), and Longmucuo AWS (80.43 ° E, 34.59 ° N). Time resolution: 1d Spatial resolution:- Unit: mm 2) Data source and processing method Integral conveying method. The calculation formula is as follows: LH=l_ v ρ_ a c_ E U(q_s-q_a ) E=LH/( ρ l_ v ) LH and E are latent heat and evaporation respectively. The automatic weather station erected near the lake is used for meteorological data, and the observation data used include temperature, wind speed, relative humidity, etc. at 1.5m; Lake surface temperature uses ERA5 land hourly data; The momentum roughness, moisture roughness and thermal roughness are obtained by back calculation from the data obtained by the eddy correlation instrument erected by Bamco and Laoncho. 3) Data quality description The evaporation data of Bamco Lake in 2020 obtained by calculation are compared with the evaporation data from August to October obtained by the eddy correlation instrument installed on the central island of Bamco Lake. Pearson correlation coefficient r=0.57, p=2.842E-8. 4) Data application achievements and prospects Water surface evaporation is an important link in the process of water cycle and an important topic in hydrology research. As the main part of lake water loss, it is also the basic reference data for studying land surface evaporation. The evaporation calculated based on the observation data can be used as the accurate evaporation of lakes on the Qinghai Tibet Plateau, which is an important basis for studying the water balance of lakes. By obtaining the evaporation of three lakes located in different climatic regions, we can better explore the variation law of lake water surface evaporation in different climatic regions.

The global reach-level 3-hourly river flood reanalysis (GRFR) dataset includes 1) global 0.05 degree, 3-hourly/daily runoff data, 2) 3hourly/daily naturalized river discharge at 2.94 million river reaches, 3) global 3-hourly river flood events from 1980 to 2019, 4) underlying hydrography MERIT-Basins. Grounded on recent breakthroughs in global runoff hydrology, river modeling, high-resolution hydrography, and climate reanalysis, the 3-hourly river discharge record globally for 2.94 million river reaches during the 40-yr period of 1980–2019 was developed. The underlying modeling chain consists of the VIC land surface model (0.05°, 3-hourly) that is well calibrated and bias-corrected and the RAPID routing model (2.94 million river and catchment vectors), with precipitation input from MSWEP and other meteorological fields downscaled from ERA5. Flood events (above 2-yr return) and their characteristics (number, spatial distribution, and seasonality) were extracted and studied. Validations against 3-hourly flow records from 6,000+ gauges in CONUS and daily records from 14,000+ gauges globally show good modeling performance across all flow ranges, good skills in reconstructing flood events (high extremes), and the benefit of (and need for) sub-daily modeling. The GRFR database represents a pioneering effort on global reach-level flood reanalysis and may offer new opportunities for global flood studies in terms of baseline data and potential research pathways. Also, it can better help river-observing satellite missions to develop their discharge algorithms.

This data set is a global surface evapotranspiration product based on the PEW model. The PEW model is a water energy based surface energy balance model based on the assumption of equal proportion. Its principle is to couple the water heat balance framework based on the assumption of equal proportion on the Priestley Taylor (PT) evapotranspiration algorithm. PEW model can consider the influence of water balance constraint and energy budget process at the same time, which makes the simulation accuracy of PEW model improved compared with previous models to a certain extent. The input data of PEW include the meteorological and soil moisture changes of ERA5 land dataset. The time span of this dataset is from 1982 to 2018. The time resolution is month by month and the spatial resolution is 0.1 °. This data set can provide a basis for studying the long-term water cycle and climate change.

Water is one of the most direct mediums through which people perceive the effects of climate change. The flow regimes that people rely on are influenced by large-scale climate change, and identifying changes to these regimes and determining their causes requires reliable, spatiotemporally continuous runoff records. China is climate vulnerable due to its remarkable topographic gradients, monsoon climate, and rapid economic development. Climate change has increased the urgency of understanding, regulating, and forecasting China’s freshwater flows. Yet, available global and regional runoff data in China are produced from sparse, poor-quality gauged station data that have been acquired over different time scales. Our research presents a new long-term, high-quality natural runoff dataset, named the China Natural Runoff Dataset version 1.0 (CNRD v1.0) for driving hydrological and climate studies over China. It will also contribute to the global runoff database. CNRD v1.0 provides daily, monthly, and annual 0.25-degree natural runoff estimates for the period of 1 January 1961 to 31 December 2018 over China. CNRD v1.0 is generated using the Variable Infiltration Capacity macroscale hydrological model, which was used to fill in gaps or construct time series of comparable lengths. To control the model performance and thus our dataset quality, the model’s sensitive parameters are automatically calibrated using an adaptive surrogate modeling‐based optimization algorithm based on monthly natural or near-natural streamflow data from 200 hydrological gauge stations—more than in previous studies—with low fractions of missing data. Another important quality control adopted for this dataset was the use of a multiscale parameter regionalization technique to estimate model parameters for ungauged basins. Overall, the results show well-calibrated parameters for most gauged catchments, and the skill scores, the Nash–Sutcliffe model efficiency coefficient (NSE) present high values for all catchments, with an average of 0.83 and 0.80 for calibration and validation modes, respectively. The multiscale parameter regionalization technique offered the best regionalization solution (median NSE = 0.76 for the calibration period and 0.72 for the validation period. The results overall show well-calibrated and regionalized parameters for the hydrological model thus for the long-term runoff reconstruction. By the cell-to-cell comparisons between the CNRD v1.0 with the two global runoff datasets, ISIMIP and GRUN, we found that our datasets show more continuous transitions in runoff dis¬tribution compared to ISIMIP and GRUN across China, and perform well in representing the geographic distribution of China’s water resources across complex terrain and climate regions.

Terrestrial actual evapotranspiration (ET) is an essential ecohydrological process linking the land surface energy, water and carbon cycles, and plays a critical role in the earth system. This global ET dataset is obtained based on ETMonitor model, which combines parameterizations for different processes and land cover types, with multi-source satellite data as input. Several open accessed remote sensing variables, e.g., LAI, FVC, albedo, surface soil moisture, dynamic surface water cover and snow/ice cover, were used as input to estimate daily ET. The meteorological variables from ERA5 reanalysis dataset were also adopted. The ETMonitor model is applied at daily scale to estimate the ET components at 1-km resolution, including vegetation transpiration, soil evaporation, canopy precipitation interception loss, water surface evaporation and snow/ice sublimation on daily step, and the total actual ET is estimated as the sum of these components. Overall, the actual ET estimated by ETMonitor agreed well with ground measurements from 251 flux towers across various ecosystems and climate zones globally, with high correlation (0.75), low bias (0.08mm/d), and low root mean square error (0.93 mm/d). The estimated ET showed reasonable spatial patterns, and superior in presenting the spatial variation of ET especially in the mountain regions and in the arid irrigated cropland regions. The ET estimation is conducted at daily temporal step and 1km spatial resolution. For easier publication, the daily/1-km ET from ETMonitor (https://doi.org//10.12237/casearth.6253cddc819aec49731a4bc2) was summed to obtain monthly ET in this dataset. The data type is 16-bit signed integer, the scale factor is 0.1, and the unit is mm/month. The missing values were filled by -1.

Long term surface soil moisture (SSM) data with stable and consistent quality are critical for global environment and climate change monitoring. L band radiometers onboard the recently lunched Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) Mission can provide the state-of-the-art accuracy SSM, but the short temporal coverage of the data records has limited its applications in long-term studies. While Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer for EOS (AMSR-E) and AMSR2 series provide long term observational records of multi-frequency radiometers (C, X, and K bands). This dataset contains 20 years (2002-2022) global spatio-temporal consistent surface soil moisture. The resolution is 36 km at daily scale, the projection is EASE-Grid2, and the data unit is m3 / m3. This dataset adopts the soil moisture neural network retrieval algorithm developed by Yao et al. (2017). This study transfers the merits of SMAP to AMSR-E/2 through using an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) in which SMAP standard SSM products serve as training targets with AMSR-E/2 brightness temperature (TB) as input. Finally, long term soil moisture data are output. This dataset can reproduce the spatial and temporal distribution of SMAP soil moisture, with comparable accuracy as SMAP soil moisture product. This dataset also compares well with in situ SSM observations at 14 dense validation networks globally, with accuracy of 5% volumetric water content, and outperforms AMSR-E/2 standard SSM products from JAXA and LPRM. This global observation-driven dataset spans nearly two decades at present, and is extendable though the ongoing AMSR2 and upcoming AMSR3 missions for long-term studies of climate extremes, trends, and decadal variability.

The evapotranspiration (ET) is an important variable connecting land energy balance, water cycle and carbon cycle. Accurate monitoring and estimations of ET are essential not only for water resources management but also for simulating regional, global climate, and hydrological cycles. Remote sensing technology is an effective method to monitor ET. At present, a variety of ET remote sensing products have been produced and released. However, in the process of validation, there is a problem of spatial scale mismatch between ET remote sensing estimation value and station observation value, especially on heterogeneous surface. Therefore, it is very important to obtain the ground truth ET values at the satellite pixel scale by upscaling method on heterogeneous surface. In this study, using the station observation data and multi-source remote sensing information, the ET observed at a single ground station is upscaled to the satellite pixel scale, and the ground truth ET values at the satellite pixel scale in Heihe River Basin is obtained. Based on the ET data observed by the eddy covariance (EC) at 15 stations (3 superstations and 12 ordinary stations) in the Heihe integrated observatory network, combined with the fused high-resolution remote sensing data (surface temperature, vegetation index, net radiation, etc.) and atmospheric reanalysis data, the upscaling is carried out to obtain the ground truth ET at the satellite pixel scale. The distribution diagram is shown in Figure 1. Specifically, firstly, the spatial heterogeneity of the spatial heterogeneity of the land surface hydrothermal conditions was evaluated; Secondly, nine upscaling methods (the integrated Priestley-Taylor equation method, the Penman-Monteith equation combined with EnKF method, the Penman-Monteith equation combined with SCE_UA method, EC observation value, artificial neural network, Bayesian linear regression, deep belief network, Gaussian process regression, and random fores and directly taking the EC observation value as the ground truth ET) were compared and analyzed through direct validation and cross-validation; Finally, a comprehensive method (directly using the EC observation value on the homogeneous underlying surface; using the Gaussian process regression method for upscaling on the moderately heterogeneous underlying surface and highly heterogeneous underlying surface) was optimized to obtain the groud truth ET at the satellite pixel scale at 15 typical underlying surfaces in Heihe River Basin (2010-2016, spatial resolution of 1km). The results showed that the ground truth ET at the satellite pixel scale is relatively reliable. Compared with the pixel scale reference value (LAS observation value), the MAPE of the ground turth ET at the satellite pixel scale at the three superstations are 1.57%, 3.23% and 4.59% respectively, which can meet the needs of the validation of ET remote sensing products.

Surface soil moisture (SSM) is a crucial parameter for understanding the hydrological process of our earth surface. Passive microwave (PM) technique has long been the primary choice for estimating SSM at satellite remote sensing scales, while on the other hand, the coarse resolution (usually >~10 km) of PM observations hampers its applications at finer scales. Although quantitative studies have been proposed for downscaling satellite PM-based SSM, very few products have been available to public that meet the qualification of 1-km resolution and daily revisit cycles under all-weather conditions. In this study, therefore, we have developed one such SSM product in China with all these characteristics. The product was generated through downscaling of AMSR-E and AMSR-2 based SSM at 36-km, covering all on-orbit time of the two radiometers during 2003-2019. MODIS optical reflectance data and daily thermal infrared land surface temperature (LST) that have been gap-filled for cloudy conditions were the primary data inputs of the downscaling model, in order to achieve the “all-weather” quality for the SSM downscaling outcome. Daily images from this developed SSM product have achieved quasi-complete coverage over the country during April-September. For other months, the national coverage percentage of the developed product is also greatly improved against the original daily PM observations. We evaluated the product against in situ soil moisture measurements from over 2000 professional meteorological and soil moisture observation stations, and found the accuracy of the product is stable for all weathers from clear sky to cloudy conditions, with station averages of the unbiased RMSE ranging from 0.053 vol to 0.056 vol. Moreover, the evaluation results also show that the developed product distinctly outperforms the widely known SMAP-Sentinel (Active-Passive microwave) combined SSM product at 1-km resolution. This indicates potential important benefits that can be brought by our developed product, on improvement of futural investigations related to hydrological processes, agricultural industry, water resource and environment management.

The runoff plot is located in Shigatse, the Tibetan Plateau. The area had a serious soil erosion and large areas of low cover vegetation. Therefore, the runoff plot was constructed to monitor the soil erosion. The runoff plot had a length of 10 m, width of 5 m and a slope of 30°。 The vegetation coverage is low. The fully automatic runoff and sediment instrument was used to measured the runoff and sediment process. The temporal resolution varies with runoff process and had a high resolution when the water level changed rapidly. The measured results can provide the data support for the soil erosion in the Tibetan Plateau.

Surface evapotranspiration (ET) is an important link of water cycle and energy transmission in the earth system. The accurate acquisition of ET is helpful to the study of global climate change, crop yield estimation, drought monitoring, and has important guiding significance for regional and even global water resources planning and management. With the development of remote sensing technology, remote sensing estimation of surface evapotranspiration has become an effective way to obtain regional and global evapotranspiration. At present, a variety of low and medium resolution surface evapotranspiration products have been produced and released in business. However, there are still many uncertainties in the model mechanism, input data, parameterization scheme of remote sensing estimation of surface evapotranspiration model. Therefore, it is necessary to use the real method. The accuracy of remote sensing estimation of evapotranspiration products was quantitatively evaluated by sex test. However, in the process of authenticity test, there is a problem of spatial scale mismatch between the remote sensing estimation value of surface evapotranspiration and the site observation value, so the key is to obtain the relative truth value of satellite pixel scale surface evapotranspiration. Based on the flux observation matrix of "multi-scale observation experiment of non-uniform underlying surface evaporation" in the middle reaches of Heihe River Basin from June to September 2012, the stations 4 (Village), 5 (corn), 6 (corn), 7 (corn), 8 (corn), 11 (corn), 12 (corn), 13 (corn), 14 (corn), 15 (corn), 17 (orchard) and the lower reaches of January to December 2014 Oasis Populus euphratica forest station (Populus euphratica forest), mixed forest station (Tamarix / Populus euphratica), bare land station (bare land), farmland station (melon), sidaoqiao station (Tamarix) observation data (automatic meteorological station, eddy correlator, large aperture scintillation meter, etc.) are used as auxiliary data, and the high-resolution remote sensing data (surface temperature, vegetation index, net radiation, etc.) are used as auxiliary data. See Fig. 1 for the distribution map. Considering the land Through direct test and cross test, six scale expansion methods (area weight method, scale expansion method based on Priestley Taylor formula, unequal weight surface to surface regression Kriging method, artificial neural network, random forest, depth belief network) were compared and analyzed, and finally a comprehensive method (on the underlying surface) was optimized. The area weight method is used when the underlying surface is moderately inhomogeneous; the unequal weight surface to surface regression Kriging method is used when the underlying surface is moderately inhomogeneous; the random forest method is used when the underlying surface is highly inhomogeneous) to obtain the relative true value (spatial resolution of 1km) of the surface evapotranspiration pixel scale of MODIS satellite transit instantaneous / day in the middle and lower reaches of the flux observation matrix area respectively, and to observe through the scintillation with large aperture. The results show that the overall accuracy of the data set is good. The average absolute percentage error (MAPE) of the pixel scale relative truth instantaneous and day-to-day is 2.6% and 4.5% for the midstream satellite, and 9.7% and 12.7% for the downstream satellite, respectively. It can be used to verify other remote sensing products. The evapotranspiration data of the pixel can not only solve the problem of spatial mismatch between the remote sensing estimation value and the station observation value, but also represent the uncertainty of the verification process.
