• In mid-April 2025, the “Order Files” option of NSIDC DAAC’s Data Access Tool will be retired and replaced with Earthdata Download. Earthdata Download is a native desktop application that enables efficient direct download for orders of any size. To use this new download option, you must install the new version release of Earthdata Download (v1.0.4) available here: https://nasa.github.io/earthdata-download/.
    Additionally, the “Order History” page (https://nsidc.org/order-history) will also be removed two weeks after this update, at the end of April 2025.

Data Set:
High Mountain Asia Daily 5 km Downscaled SPEAR Precipitation and Air Temperature Projections, Version 1
Data Set ID:
HMA2_DSPAT
Data Set Summary:
This data set consists of daily, 5 km resolution precipitation and mean, near-surface air temperature projections from 2015 through 2100 for the High Mountain Asia (HMA) region. The data were generated by statistically downscaling 0.5° resolution model data from the Geophysical Fluid Dynamic Laboratory (GFDL) Seamless System for Prediction and EArth System Research (SPEAR) 30-member ensemble climate model. Projections are provided for two Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs): SSP2-4.5 and SSP5 8.5. A historical model run from 1990 through 2014 is also available.
