The High Mountain Asia CMIP6 Monthly and Yearly Water Balance Projections, 2016-2099 for Parts of Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Pakistan, Version 1 data set is now available at the NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC). This data set comprises a suite of monthly and yearly water balance model (WBM) projections for the years 2016 – 2099, covering parts of Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Pakistan (primarily the headwaters of the Amu Darya and Indus River basins).
Projections are available for 12 CMIP6 global climate models (GCMs) and two Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs): SSP 2-4.5 and SSP 5-8.5. These projections were generated using the University of New Hampshire WBM. Additionally, a historical run is available for the years 1980 through 2018. It was generated from ERA5 reanalysis temperature data and ensemble precipitation estimates.
