Description: Monthly evapotranspiration (ET) and other basin-wide data from the Congo River Basin, as presented in M.W. Burnett et al. (2020) in Hydrology and Earth System Sciences. Most data cover the period from 2002-2016. Monthly time series included: - ET from Burnett et al. 2020, GLEAM v3.3a, FLUXCOM, FLUXNET-MTE, MOD16A2 v6, GLDAS Noah v2.1, SSEBop v4, and MERRA2 - Precipitation from TRMM 3B43 v7, GPCC v7, MERRA2, PERSIANN-CDR, CHIRPS2, NIC131-gridded, and multi-source triple collocation - TWSA and dS/dt from multiple GRACE solutions - Congo River discharge from the Kinshasa-Brazzaville gauge - PAR, diffuse PAR, direct PAR, and Rnet from CERES - VPD and Rnet from ERA-Interim - 740 nm SIF from the GOME2 v26 level 3 dataset - EVI from MODIS and the MAIAC correction algorithm - Skin and air temperature from AIRS Please cite the Burnett et al. (2020) article in HESS (https://doi.org/10.5194/hess-24-4189-2020) for any use of the water balance ET or triple collocation P data; for any of the other data we summarized for the Congo Basin, please also cite the original data sources as was done in the Burnett et al.
