Summary
Abstract:
The Land Information System (LIS) provides collection of sample data for
demonstration of LIS code. The original source of each data set is given whenever possible. LIS does not endorse the validity, completeness, or usefulness of the data sets. Users are strongly recommended to compile and validate their own data sets based on their scientific goals. LIS has the built-in flexibility for users to ...

Quality
The data are provisional and subject to change as model improvements are implemented and new input data sets become available. Due to the fact that forcing data for Greenland are unreliable and the lack of a glacier/ice sheet model, snow water equivalent accumulates indefinitely in Greenland and a few other Arctic points. Therefore it is highly recommended that Greenland and other points with abnormally large snow water equivalent values be masked out when performing global analyses.
