  1. This dataset contains: (1) a time series of lake area extracted from two Landsat-derived datasets (GSWO and GLAD) for ~6 million lakes globally, (2) the annual median lake area of these lakes, calculated separately for each dataset and (3) the monthly median lake area of these lakes, calculated separately for each dataset. For lakes within the northern permafrost zone (i.e., above 50 degrees North and underlain by permafrost), the time series dataset extends 1984-2023. For all other lakes, the time series dataset covers the period 1999-2021. For all lakes, annual median and monthly medians are calculated for the period 1999-2021.
