Model input
Raster data
The raster data that is required to run the model can be downloaded from the links below. There are separate links for the entire High Mountain Asia and for each RGI v5.0 sub-region. The downloadable 7z-archives hold separate folders for each glacier, which are named with the RGI glacier IDs. The rasters for each glacier are in GeoTIFF format, have a 30 m resolution in their local UTM projection (WGS84 datum), and are clipped to the RGI glacier extent.

RDS data
The general model input data can be downloaded here (445 MB). The data in the 7zip archive is stored in R’s binary RDS format and R is required to open and read the data.
