A Spatially Variable Time Series of Sea Level Change Due to Artificial Water Impoundment (Q6720530)

This database contains a series of gravitational, rotational, and deformational (GRD) fingerprintsthe spatial response of sea levelcorresponding to redistribution of water mass because of impoundment of water in artificial reservoirs, as reported in Hawley et al. (2020). Fingerprints for the GRanD database (Lehner et al.; 2011) are for individual years, noted in the file name. Three additional files come from the dataset provided by Zarfl et al. (2015), as described in Hawley et al. (2020). Const includes the fingerprint for all reservoirs under construction in their database; Plan includes the fingerprint for all reservoirs in the planning phase. Zarfl includes the fingerprint for all reservoirs in Const, with 15 years of seepage, as well as all reservoirs for Plan with 5 years of seepage, as described in Hawley et al. (2020). Each fingerprint has 525,825 points, which fill out a global grid of 513 x 1025 [lat x lon] points. Each node in latitude and longitude is evenly spaced. The first point represents the northernmost point at 0 [deg] longitude, and increase first to the east, then to the south.
