%X Vapor Pressure Deficit (VPD) is an important indicator of atmospheric drought and also a crucial climatic regulatory factor for photosynthesis in ecosystems. As one of the main drivers of vegetation ecological changes, it plays a significant role in vegetation evolution and ecological development in the Yellow River Basin. Establishing a long-term sequence of VPD spatio-temporal variation datasets with high precision and smoothness can provide scientific basic data support for research on vegetation evolution mechanisms and ecological environmental protection in the Yellow River Basin. This dataset is based on national vapor pressure data and 1km resolution DEM data, and is generated through interpolation (with elevation as a covariate), projection transformation, clipping, and other processing steps using the meteorological interpolation software ANUSPLIN and Python code. The spatial scope of the data covers the Yellow River Basin, with a spatial resolution of 1km. The temporal scope spans from 1980 to 2019, with a temporal resolution of one month. The coordinate system used is GCS_WGS_1984. The data format is NETCDF, specifically in .nc format.
