Short summary
We developed a new approach to improve the climate data used to study water and glaciers in high-mountain regions. By correcting unrealistic air temperatures and moisture while keeping the data physically consistent, we achieved much better agreement with measurements and more accurate simulations of snow, glacier change, and river flow. The method also preserved long-term warming trends, making it useful for studying future climate impacts in mountain areas.
