The file “GCOS_EHI_1960-2020_Inland_Water_Heat_Content_data.nc” presents an updated estimate of the global heat storage within natural lakes and artificial reservoirs for the period 1960-2020. Several improvements have been implemented in comparison with Vanderkelen et al. (2020): new approach to estimate lake volume, new lake models considered, and an extension of the analysis period. The data are used in von Schuckmann et al. (2022).
