The authors neglected to cite several necessary references according to the data use requirements of HiWATER. The authors therefore wish to make the following corrections to their paper [1]:
HiWATER has been designed as a comprehensive eco-hydrological experiment in the Heihe River Basin in the arid northwest region of China within the framework of “Integrated research on the eco-hydrological process [2].” The overall objective of HiWATER is to improve the observability of hydrological and ecological processes, to build a world-class watershed observing system, and to enhance the applicability of remote sensing in integrated eco-hydrological studies and water resource management at the basin scale [2]. Ground-based measurements from nine stations were collected in 2012 within an observation matrix (Figure 1) located in the Yingke and Daman irrigation districts of the Zhangye Oasis [3,4,5].
References 2–5 have been added and cited as references 17–20 in the new version. This new version is available as a supplementary file. The authors would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused to the readers by these changes.
