Dataset
Estimated monthly water levels across a subset region of the Congo Basin peatlands (2019 to 2020)
Abstract
These data include estimates of the monthly water levels across a subset region of the Congo Basin peatland complex for the period March 2019 to October 2020.
Filenames beginning with 'WL_monthly' contain the monthly minimum, maximum, mean, and standard deviation of the estimated daily water levels for a subset of the Cuvette Centrale region in the Central Congo Basin.
Filenames beginning with just 'WL_' contain the minimum, maximum, mean, and standard deviation of the estimated daily water levels over the 20-month study period, March 2019 to October 2020.
