Continental Water Flux

Monthly mean continental water fluxes are computed from the two layers (0-10, 10-200 cm) CDAS-1 soil moisture data and snow accumulation data. For each month, the flux is determined from subtracting the previous month's water storage from that of current month. The data are interpolated into 1 x 1 degree grid from the original Gaussian grid using 2 dimensional linear interpolation. Due to the size of the files, we only put six years' (January 1993 to December 1998) data available online.
