%X The data in this data set is based on daily snow depth data from more than 700 meteorological observation stations in China. Using the spatial representation of snow depth at each station and its functional relationship with snow depth at surrounding stations, the data is developed suitable for China. The optimal spatial interpolation algorithm for snow depth and generated 0.5-degree gridded weather snow depth data in China. The time range of this dataset is 1951-2015. The naming format of the dataset files is SDYMM.bin, where YYYY represents a 4-digit year, MM represents a 2-digit month, and each file contains 6 dates. The indicator is the maximum snow depth, in centimeters.
