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

<p>This database contains a series of gravitational, rotational, and deformational (GRD) &quot;fingerprints&quot;&mdash;the spatial response of sea level&mdash;corresponding to redistribution of water mass because of impoundment of water in artificial reservoirs, as reported in Hawley <em>et al</em>. (2020). Fingerprints for the GRanD database (Lehner <em>et al</em>.; 2011) are for individual years, noted in the file name.</p> <p>Three additional files come from the dataset provided by Zarfl <em>et al</em>. (2015), as described in Hawley <em>et al.</em> (2020). &quot;Const&quot; includes the fingerprint for all reservoirs under construction in their database; &quot;Plan&quot; includes the fingerprint for all reservoirs in the planning phase. &quot;Zarfl&quot; includes the fingerprint for all reservoirs in &quot;Const,&quot; with 15 years of seepage, as well as all reservoirs for &quot;Plan&quot; with 5 years of seepage, as described in Hawley <em>et al</em>. (2020).</p> <p>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.</p>
