The data set includes annual mass balance of Naimona’nyi glacier (northern branch) from 2008 to 2018, daily meteorological data at two automatic meteorological stations (AWSs) near the glacier from 2011 to 2018 and monthly air temperature and relative humidity on the glacier from 2018 to 2019. In the end of September or early October for each year , the stake heights and snow-pit features (snow layer density and stratigraphy) are manually measured to derive the annual point mass balance. Then the glacier-wide mass balance was then calculated (Please to see the reference). Two automatic weather stations (AWSs, Campbell company) were installed near the Naimona’nyi Glacier. AWS1, at 5543 m a. s.l., recorded meteorological variables from October 2011 at half hourly resolution, including air temperature (℃), relative humidity (%), and downward shortwave radiation (W m-2) . AWS2 was installed at 5950 m a.s.l. in October 2010 at hourly resolution and recorded wind speed (m/s), air pressure (hPa), precipitation (mm). Data quality: the quality of the original data is better, less missing. Firstly, the abnormal data in the original records are removed, and then the daily values of these parameters are calculated. Two probes (Hobo MX2301) which record air temperature and relative humidity was installed on the glacier at half hour resolution since October 2018. The observed meteorological data was calculated as monthly values. The data is stored in Excel file. It can be used by researchers for studying the changes in climate, hydrology, glaciers, etc.

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.

Land surface temperature (LST) is a key variable for high temperature and drought monitoring and climate and ecological environment research. Due to the sparse distribution of ground observation stations, thermal infrared remote sensing technology has become an important means of quickly obtaining ground temperature over large areas. However, there are many missing and low-quality values in satellite-based LST data because clouds cover more than 60% of the global surface every day. This article presents a unique LST dataset with a monthly temporal resolution for China from 2003 to 2017 that makes full use of the advantages of MODIS data and meteorological station data to overcome the defects of cloud influence via a reconstruction model. We specifically describe the reconstruction model, which uses a combination of MODIS daily data, monthly data and meteorological station data to reconstruct the LST in areas with cloud coverage and for grid cells with elevated LST error, and the data performance is then further improved by establishing a regression analysis model. The validation indicates that the new LST dataset is highly consistent with in situ observations. For the six natural subregions with different climatic conditions in China, verification using ground observation data shows that the root mean square error (RMSE) ranges from 1.24 to 1.58 K, the mean absolute error (MAE) varies from 1.23 to 1.37 K and the Pearson coefficient (R2) ranges from 0.93 to 0.99. The new dataset adequately captures the spatiotemporal variations in LST at annual, seasonal and monthly scales. From 2003 to 2017, the overall annual mean LST in China showed a weak increase. Moreover, the positive trend was remarkably unevenly distributed across China. The most significant warming occurred in the central and western areas of the Inner Mongolia Plateau in the Northwest Region, and the average annual temperature change is greater than 0.1K (R>0:71, P<0:05), and a strong negative trend was observed in some parts of the Northeast Region and South China Region. Seasonally, there was significant warming in western China in winter, which was most pronounced in December. The reconstructed dataset exhibits significant improvements and can be used for the spatiotemporal evaluation of LST in high-temperature and drought-monitoring studies.

The long-time series data set of extreme precipitation index in the arid region of Central Asia contains 10 extreme precipitation index long-time series data of 49 stations. Based on the daily precipitation data of the global daily climate historical data network (ghcn-d), the data quality control and outlier elimination were used to select the stations that meet the extreme precipitation index calculation. Ten extreme precipitation indexes (prcptot, SDII, rx1day, rx5day, r95ptot, r99ptot, R10, R20) defined by the joint expert group on climate change detection and index (etccdi) were calculated 、CWD、CDD)。 Among them, there are 15 time series from 1925 to 2005. This data set can be used to detect and analyze the frequency and trend of extreme precipitation events in the arid region of Central Asia under global climate change, and can also be used as basic data to explore the impact of extreme precipitation events on agricultural production and life and property losses.

Precipitation estimates with fine quality and spatio-temporal resolutions play significant roles in understanding the global and regional cycles of water, carbon, and energy. Satellite-based precipitation products are capable of detecting spatial patterns and temporal variations of precipitation at fine resolutions, which is particularly useful over poorly gauged regions. However, satellite-based precipitation products are the indirect estimates of precipitation, inherently containing regional and seasonal systematic biases and random errors. Focusing on the potential drawbacks in generating Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for Global Precipitation Measurement (IMERG) and its recently updated retrospective IMERG in the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) era (finished in July 2019), which were only calibrated at a monthly scale using ground observations, Global Precipitation Climatology Centre (GPCC, 1.0◦/monthly), we aim to propose a new calibration algorithm for IMERG at a daily scale and to provide a new AIMERG precipitation dataset (0.1◦/half-hourly, 2000–2015, Asia) with better quality, calibrated by Asian Precipitation – Highly Resolved Observational Data Integration Towards Evaluation of Water Resources (APHRODITE, 0.25◦/daily) at the daily scale for the Asian applications. Considering the advantages from both satellite-based precipitation estimates and the ground observations, AIMERG performs better than IMERG at different spatio-temporal scales, in terms of both systematic biases and random errors, over mainland China.
