The dataset provides estimates of Total Water Storage (TWS) change in the Lake Mead region from 2020 to 2022, as shown in Figure 6 of Khorrami et al. (under review). The estimates are derived from an inversion of InSAR-observed vertical deformation of the ground surface using a half-space elastic load model. For further details, please refer to the accompanying README file included with the downloadable data package.
