Description

Gauge locations of 295 gauges in Central Asia, including long-term norm discharge, basin outlines and basin characteristics compiled from 3rd-party data. Discharge time series for 135 gauge locations collected from the hydrological yearbooks of Hydrometeorological Organisations in Central Asia. 

Instructions of how to use the data can be found in the readme document in the folder CA-data-paper-scripts. 

! Important note: Please do not use the glacier thinning rates extracted from Hugonnet et al., 2021 (https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-021-03436-z), i.e. features gl_dmdt_km3a and gl_dmdtda_mma. The ice density is not accounted for in our averages.
