Short summary
Accurate snow water equivalent (SWE) estimates are crucial for water management in snowmelt-dependent regions, but bias and uncertainty in precipitation data make this challenging. Here, we leverage insights from a historical SWE data product to correct these biases and yield more accurate SWE estimates and streamflow predictions. Incorporating snow depth observations further boosts accuracy. This study demonstrates an effective method to downscale and bias-correct global mountain precipitation.
