Meltwater stage and discharge from outlet stream from Khumbu Glacier, Everest region, Nepal, between 14th May and 13th November 2014

A hydrological monitoring station for Khumbu Glacier, Nepal, was established in a stable reach of the sole outflow channel at 4930 m a.s.l.. at approximately 27°56'02"N 86°48'44"E where meltwater breaches the lateral/terminal moraine ridge. Average water stage (S) was recorded at 30 min intervals using a Druck PDCR1730 pressure transducer and Campbell Scientific (CS) CR1000 data logger. Stage is given as DN.
To derive discharge (Q), a stage-discharge rating curve was developed using 18 dilution experiments of 10% fluorescein and a Turner Designs Cyclops7 fluorometer linked to a CS CR10X datalogger. Rating curve observations covered the lowermost 50% of stage values recorded, and uncertainty in Q is estimated at 10-15%.
The non-linear exponential stage-discharge relationship was given as: Q = 0.2839.e^(5.55397.S). Discharge is in m^3/s.
Data extends from 14th May (DOY134) to 13th November (DOY317), and time is given as decimal-day format (DOY135.5 = 12:00 midday on DOY135).

尼泊尔昆布冰川（Khumbu Glacier）的水文监测站设立于海拔4930米的唯一出水河道稳定河段，地理坐标约为北纬27°56′02″、东经86°48′44″，该处融水侵蚀侧碛/终碛垄。监测采用Druck PDCR1730型压力传感器与Campbell Scientific（CS）CR1000型数据采集器，以30分钟为间隔记录平均水位（S），水位以DN值表征。
为推求流量（Q），研究基于18组10%浓度荧光素稀释试验，结合连接CS CR10X数据采集器的Turner Designs Cyclops7型荧光计，建立了水位-流量分级曲线。该曲线的观测数据覆盖所记录水位值的最低50%区间，经估算流量的不确定性为10%~15%。
该非线性指数型水位-流量关系表达式为：Q = 0.2839·e^(5.55397·S)，其中流量单位为立方米每秒（m³/s）。
数据集时间跨度为5月14日（年积日Day of Year，DOY134）至11月13日（DOY317），时间采用十进制日格式（例如DOY135.5即年积日第135天的正午12:00）。
