This repository houses a dataset, known as the Global LAke Surface water Temperature (GLAST), which provides both temporal and spatial details at high resolution for 92,245 lakes worldwide during the period of 1981-2099, with 36% of them situated in Arctic regions. The dataset was established based on four decades (1982-2020) of Landsat satellite images and a physical model (FLake). For a comprehensive overview of the dataset's production methodology, please refer to the paper titled 'Global lakes are warming slower than surface air temperature due to accelerated evaporation' (Tong et al., 2023, Nature Water). Detailed information regarding each data file can be found in the 'readme.docx' file.
