For China's snow-covered regions, a refined SWE downscaling model was developed by integrating multi-source remote sensing data with machine learning downscaling techniques. This model comprehensively considers environmental factors influencing snow distribution, including snow extent, topography, and geographic location, to generate a daily 500m SWE dataset covering 1980–2020. The accuracy of the SWE product was validated using ground observation station data, yielding an R=0.83 and RMSE=10.98 mm. The dataset is stored in .tif format with a daily temporal resolution and 500m spatial resolution.
