Data from automatic weather station at the end of glacier in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (2019-2020)

Glacier surface micrometeorology is to observe the wind direction, wind speed, temperature, humidity, air pressure, four component radiation, ice temperature and precipitation at a certain height of the glacier surface. Glacier surface micrometeorology monitoring is one of the important contents of glacier monitoring. It is an important basic data for the study of energy mass balance, glacier movement, glacier melt runoff, ice core and other related model simulation, which lays a foundation for exploring the relationship between climate change and glacier change. Automatic monitoring is mainly carried out by setting up Alpine weather stations on the glacier surface, and portable weather stations can also be used for short-term flow monitoring. In recent years, more than 20 glacier surfaces in Tianshan, West Kunlun, Qilian, Qiangtang inland, Tanggula, Nianqing Tanggula, southeastern Tibet, Hengduan and Himalayas have been monitored. The data set is monthly meteorological data of glacier area and glacier end.

冰川表面微气象学旨在观测冰川表面特定高度的风向、风速、气温、湿度、气压、四分量辐射、冰温以及降水量。冰川表面微气象学监测是冰川监测的重要内容之一，它对于研究能量质量平衡、冰川运动、冰川融水径流、冰芯以及其他相关模型模拟提供了重要基础数据，为探索气候变化与冰川变化之间的关系奠定了基础。自动监测主要通过在冰川表面设置高山气象站进行，便携式气象站也可用于短期流量监测。近年来，天山、西昆仑、祁连、羌塘内陆、唐古拉、念青唐古拉、西藏东南部、横断山脉和喜马拉雅山脉的20余处冰川表面已进行监测。该数据集为冰川区域及冰川末端月度气象数据。
