Abstract. The risk of water erosion in mainland China is intensifying due to climate change. A high-precision rainfall erosivity dataset is crucial for revealing the spatiotemporal patterns of rainfall erosivity and identifying key areas of water erosion. However, due to the insufficient spatiotemporal resolution of historical precipitation data, there are certain biases in the estimation of rainfall erosivity in China, especially in regions with complex terrain and climatic conditions. Over the past decade, the China Meteorological Administration has continuously improved its ground-based meteorological observation capabilities, forming a dense network of ground-based observation stations. These high-precision precipitation data provide a solid foundation for quantifying the patterns of rainfall erosivity in China. In this study, we first performed rigorous quality control on the 1-minute ground observation precipitation data from nearly 70,000 stations nationwide from 2014 to 2022, ultimately selecting 60,129 available stations. Using the precipitation data from these stations, we calculated event rainfall erosivity and generated a national mean annual rainfall erosivity dataset with a spatial resolution of 0.25°. This dataset shows that the mean annual rainfall erosivity in mainland China is approximately 1241 MJ·mm·ha−1·h−1·yr−1, with areas exceeding 4000 MJ·mm·ha−1·h−1·yr−1 mainly concentrated in the southern China and southern Tibetan Plateau. Compared to our study, previously released datasets overestimate China’s mean annual rainfall erosivity by 31 %~65 %, and there are significant differences in performance across different river basins. In summary, the release of this dataset facilitates a more accurate assessment of the current water erosion intensity in China. The dataset is available from the National Tibetan Plateau/Third Pole Environment Data Center (https://doi.org/10.11888/Terre.tpdc.301206; Chen, 2024).
