Monsoon precipitation phase change accelerates glacier mass loss in the Southeast Tibetan Plateau

Materials and data results needed to reproduce the findings of the submitted work:

"Accelerated glacier mass loss in the Southeast Tibetan Plateau is dominated by monsoon precipitation phase change". A. Jouberton, T. E. Shaw, E. Miles, M. McCarthy, S. Fugger, S. Ren, A. Dehecq, W. Yang and F. Pellicciotti

It includes the meteorological forcing time-series, an exhaustive list of the model parameters, the outputs of TOPKAPI-ETH, and Matlab scripts allowing to reproduce the figures and compute the numbers given in the main manuscript as well as in the Supplementary Information.
