Different glacier status with atmospheric circulations in Tibetan Plateau and surroundings (1970s-2000s)-National Tibetan Plateau Data Center

This data set is collected from the supplementary information part of the paper: Yao, T. , Thompson, L. , & Yang, W. . (2012). Different glacier status with atmospheric circulations in tibetan plateau and surroundings. Nature Climate Change, 1580, 1-5.

This paper report on the glacier status over the past 30 years by investigating the glacial retreat of 82 glaciers, area reductionof 7,090 glaciers and mass-balance change of 15 glaciers.

This data set contains 8 tables, the names and content are as follows:

Data list: The data name list of the rest tables;

t1: Distribution of Glaciers in the TP and surroundings;

t2: Data and method for analyzing glacial area reduction in each basin;

t3: Glacial area reduction during the past three decades from remote sensing images in the TP and surroundings;

t4: Glacial length fluctuationin the TP and surroundings in the past three decades;

t5: Detailed information on the glaciers for recent mass balance measurement in the TP and surroundings;

t6: Recent annual mass balances in different regions in the TP;

t7: Mass balance of Long-time series for the Qiyi, Xiaodongkemadi and Kangwure Glaciers in the TP.
