%X Snow is an important water resource. This data is based on high spatial resolution monthly scale precipitation and temperature data as input. The degree day factor model is used to calculate the amount of snow melting water. The model output is validated by snowfall, snow depth, snow coverage, and snow water equivalent. High spatial resolution (0.5 ', approximately 1km) monthly scale snow melting water data from 1951 to 2020 in China was obtained. The geographic spatial range included in the dataset is the main land of China, excluding areas such as islands and reefs in the South China Sea. This dataset is stored in an NC file format, with the file naming method being snowmelt_ Year, year represents the year
