The Qinghai Tibet Plateau is known as the "Asian water tower", and its runoff, as an important and easily accessible water resource, supports the production and life of billions of people around, and supports the diversity of ecosystems. Accurately estimating the runoff of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau and revealing the variation law of runoff are conducive to water resources management and disaster risk avoidance in the plateau and its surrounding areas. The glacier runoff segmentation data set covers the five river source areas of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau from 1971 to 2015, with a time resolution of year by year, covering the five river source areas of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau (the source of the Yellow River, the source of the Yangtze River, the source of the Lancang River, the source of the Nujiang River, and the source of the Yarlung Zangbo River), and the spatial resolution is the watershed. Based on multi-source remote sensing and measured data, it is simulated using the distributed hydrological model vic-cas coupled with the glacier module, The simulation results are verified with the measured data of the station, and all the data are subject to quality control.

The riverbed surface of the main channel in Nyangqu river is composed of gravel particles with wide grain size distribution. there are abundant gravel particles on the beach and riverbed. In this investigation, the bed surface grain size distribution of the main channel and tributaries of the Nyangqu river was measured. This data set contains the information of the five sampling locations in five main channels and two locations in tributaries of the Nyangqu River Basin (Table 1) and the bed surface grain size distribution (Table 2). The sampling locations were generally selected near the cross-section with obvious riverbed. It was considered that water flow through these sections in the straight channel for a long. At the same time, because it was a dry season, the bed grain size distribution on the river beach could be considered as the movement of gravel bedload carried by the last flood season. Therefore, it was considered that the bed grain size distribution in the sampling area on the river beach in the dry season was the bedload size distribution in the flood season. The grain size distributions were measured by the automatic identification method of full particle size based on image processing (e.g., Baserain software), with high identification accuracy of sediment particles is high. It is of great value to the scientific research on the evolution of source to sink process，bedlaod transport, and flood numerical simualtion， as well as the basic research on the flash flood prevention and control.

Water conservation service is an important ecosystem service, which directly affects the overall level of regional water resources and has an important impact on regional ecosystem, agriculture, industry, human consumption, hydropower, fishery and recreational activities. It is of great significance to maintain ecosystem stability and improve human well-being. Aiming at the production of water conservation products, based on the principle of water balance, coupled with the data of rainfall, evapotranspiration, solar radiation, temperature and vegetation type, the modeling of water conservation of ecosystem in national barrier area is studied. The water conservation service is calculated by the invest model based on the principle of water balance. The invest model has the advantages of less input data, large amount of export data and quantitative analysis of abstract ecosystem service functions. It is an important means of water conservation service evaluation at present. This method considers that the water conservation service is precipitation minus evapotranspiration, and the calculated indexes include annual precipitation and annual evapotranspiration. The precipitation data is based on the meteorological station data, the daily meteorological data is accumulated to the annual scale, and then interpolated to the space by ArcGIS spatial interpolation method; The calculation of evapotranspiration is realized by Zhang model. Taking multi-source data as the input variable of the invest model, the estimation of water conservation services in the Qinghai Tibet Plateau with a resolution of 1km from 2000 to 2020 is realized based on the parametric model.

Glacier is the supply water source of rivers in the western mountainous area, and it is one of the most basic elements for people to survive and develop industry, agriculture and animal husbandry in the western region. Glaciers are not only valuable fresh water resources, but also the source of serious natural disasters in mountainous areas, such as sudden ice lake outburst flood, glacier debris flow and ice avalanche. Glacier hydrological monitoring is the basis for studying the characteristics of glacier melt water, the replenishment of glacier melt water to rivers, the relationship between glacier surface ablation and runoff, the process of ice runoff and confluence, and the calculation and prediction of floods and debris flows induced by glacier and seasonal snow melt water. Glacial hydrology refers to the water and heat conditions of glacial covered basins (i.e. glacial action areas), that is, the water and heat exchange between glaciers and their surrounding environment, the physical process of water accumulation and flow on the surface, inside and bottom of glaciers, the water balance of glaciers, the replenishment of glacial melt water to rivers, and the impact of water bodies in cold regions on climate change. At present, hydrological monitoring stations are mainly established at the outlet of the river basin to carry out field monitoring《 Glacial water resources of China (1991), hydrology of cold regions of China (2000) and glacial Hydrology (2001) summarize the early studies on glacial hydrology. China has carried out glacier hydrological monitoring on more than 20 glaciers in Tianshan, Karakorum, West Kunlun, Qilian, Tanggula, Nianqing Tanggula, gangrigab, Hengduan and Himalayas. This data set is the monthly runoff data of representative glaciers.

Based on 11 well-acknowledged global-scale microwave remote sensing-based surface soil moisture products, and with 9 main quality impact factors of microwave-based soil moisture retrieval incorporated, we developed the Remote Sensing-based global Surface Soil Moisture dataset (RSSSM, 2003~2020) through a complicated neural network approach. The spatial resolution of RSSSM is 0.1°, while the temporal resolution is approximately 10 days. The original dataset covered 2003~2018, but now it has been updated to 2020. RSSSM dataset is outstanding in terms of temporal continuity, and has full spatial coverage except for snow, ice and water bodies. The comparison against the global-scale in-situ soil moisture measurements indicates that RSSSM has a higher spatial and temporal accuracy than most of the frequently-used global/regional long-term surface soil moisture datasets. In addition, although RSSSM is remote sensing based, without the incorporation of any precipitation data or records, its interannual variation generally conforms with that of precipitation (e.g., the GPM IMERG precipitation data) and Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI). Moreover, RSSSM can also reflect the impact of human activities, e.g., urbanization, cropland irrigation and afforestation on soil moisture changes to some degree. The data is in ‘Tiff’ format, and the size after compression is 2.48 GB. The relevant data describing paper has been published in the Journal ‘Earth System Science Data’ in 2021.

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 data set mainly includes the ice observation frequency (ICO) of north temperate lakes in four periods from 1985 to 2020, as well as the location, area and elevation of the lakes. Among them, the four time periods are 1985-1998 (P1), 1999-2006 (P2), 2007-2014 (P3) and 2015-2020 (P4) respectively, in order to improve the "valid observation" times in the calculation period and improve the accuracy. The ICO of the four periods is calculated by the ratio of "icing" times and "valid observation" times counted by all Landsat images in each period. Other lake information corresponds to the HydroLAKEs data set through the "hylak_id" column in the table. In addition, the data only retains about 30000 lakes with an area of more than 1 square kilometer, which are valid for P1-P4 observation. The data set can reflect the response of Lake icing to climate change in recent decades.

The water level data of the ten lakes were obtained from altimetry satellites Envisat/RA-2, Cryosat-2, ICESat, and ICESat-2. The water area data were obtained from Landsat TM/OLI images bsed on Modified Normalized Difference Water Index. For the four lakes with complete water level data (Hongze Lake, Gaoyou Lake, Gehu Lake and Taihu Lake), the water volume changes from 2003 to 2019 were estimated according to the water level and area results. Compared with the in-situ water level data, the water level extracted from altimetry data showed significantly consistent (α = 0.05) for all the ten lakes, with the average absolute error of 0.168 m. The data set provides the variations of water level, area, and volume for the ten lakes in Jiangsu Province from 2003 to 2019, which can provide data support for the management and dispatching of water resources in Jiangsu Province.

Water clarity, as a first-order indicator that reflects the optical characteristics of water bodies, represents a comprehensive proxy for aquatic ecosystems’ trophic state. Optical remote sensing technology makes it possible to monitor water clarity changes of lakes (including reservoirs) at large scales. Water clarity annual dynamics dataset of lakes (>1 ha) across China covers the period from 1990 to 2018, with a time resolution of 5-year and spatial resolution of 30 meters, which sources from the Landsat top of air reflectance data embedded in the GEE platform. Three in-situ SDD measurement datasets were used for model calibration and validation. The first dataset was obtained from 37 field campaigns by our team during 2004-2018. Three quarters of this dataset (N= 976) were used to calibrate the model, for which the R2 and rRMSE were 0.79 and 61.9%, respectively; the remaining dataset (N= 325) was used to validate the model, and the validation results indicated stable performance by showing comparative errors (R2=0.80, rRMSE = 57.6%). The second and the third datasets were both used to validate model performance with a major focus on testing the temporal transferability of the model. The second dataset (340 samples), collected as part of the Chinese lakes survey conducted by Nanjing Institute of Geography and Limnology from 2007 to 2009, also indicated a good model performance (R2=0.78, rRMSE% = 59.1%); the third dataset (229 samples) was assembled by the first lake surveys conducted in the 1980s, demonstrating a stable performance for lake SDD before 1990s (R2=0.81, rRMSE = 50.6%). Comparison of validation results for these different periods and datasets demonstrated the stable performance of the SDD model. Finally, based on the water clarity estimation model, the algorithms of cloud mask and water index were conducted on the GEE platform to accomplish the water clarity of lakes across China. The water clarity information could assist local, provincial or even national level decision-making on policies/management for protecting or improving inland water quality.

Glacier is the supply water source of rivers in the western mountainous area, and it is one of the most basic elements for people to survive and develop industry, agriculture and animal husbandry in the western region. Glaciers are not only valuable fresh water resources, but also the source of serious natural disasters in mountainous areas, such as sudden ice lake outburst flood, glacier debris flow and ice avalanche. Glacier hydrological monitoring is the basis for studying the characteristics of glacier melt water, the replenishment of glacier melt water to rivers, the relationship between glacier surface ablation and runoff, the process of ice runoff and confluence, and the calculation and prediction of floods and debris flows induced by glacier and seasonal snow melt water. Glacial hydrology refers to the water and heat conditions of glacial covered basins (i.e. glacial action areas), that is, the water and heat exchange between glaciers and their surrounding environment, the physical process of water accumulation and flow on the surface, inside and bottom of glaciers, the water balance of glaciers, the replenishment of glacial melt water to rivers, and the impact of water bodies in cold regions on climate change. At present, hydrological monitoring stations are mainly established at the outlet of the river basin to carry out field monitoring《 Glacial water resources of China (1991), hydrology of cold regions of China (2000) and glacial Hydrology (2001) summarize the early studies on glacial hydrology. China has carried out glacier hydrological monitoring on more than 20 glaciers in Tianshan, Karakorum, West Kunlun, Qilian, Tanggula, Nianqing Tanggula, gangrigab, Hengduan and Himalayas. This data set is the monthly runoff data of representative glaciers.

Paleo-shorelines are widely developed in the lakes of the Tibetan Plateau (TP), which record the history of paleo-lake level changes. The development age of the mega-lake represented by the highest paleo-shoreline is controversial. The age of the shoreline or the mega-lake can be obtained by measuring the burial age of the shoreline sand in the sedimentary strata of the paleo-shoreline by using the optical stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating technology. This data includes the OSL ages of the highest paleo-shorelines of three lakes in the northwestern TP. The dating is based on the K-feldspar pIRIR method developed in recent years, which effectively solves the problem that the quartz OSL signal is not suitable for dating in the study area. This data can provide key information for the evolution history of the mega-lakes on the TP.
