The physically-based melt model Tethys-Chloris and meteorological input data for five Peruvian glaciers
Weather station data at five on-glacier stations in Peru and the ecohydrological model Tethys-Chloris. Data includes: - Hourly weather station data from Shallap Glacier, Artesonraju Glacier, Cuchillacocha Glacier, Quisoquipina Glacier and Quelccaya Ice Cap. Given as .csv files and as model input files. - The model code used to input the data and set the correct parameters for these sites. - The model code for the point version of Tethys-Chloris, an ecohydrological model which is used in this case to calculate glacier melt and mass balance.

The weather station data were cleaned to remove erroneous data and gaps were filled using data from nearby off-glacier stations or in some cases data from the WRF (Weather Research and Forecasting) climate model. Source data were provided by co-authors and Peruvian institutions. The Tethys-Chloris model was provided by Simone Fatichi with some modifications by the team during the project.
