The Cocotohai Cryosphere Observation and Research Station (Cocotohai Station), located in Cocotohai Town, Fuyun County, Xinjiang, was established in August 2011, and in 2020, it entered the field station construction sequence of the State Key Laboratory of Cryosphere Science. Up to now, Cocotohai Station has formed a systematic field observation network covering the two river source areas of Altai Mountains, with snow and permafrost monitoring as the main part. The field observation sites of CocoTokai Station are mainly located in the south slope of Altai Mountains, and the source areas of the Irtysh and Ulungu Rivers (the two river source areas). This area is located in the area of strong action of the westerly wind and the Arctic polar vortex, and belongs to the Arctic Ocean water system (the Irtysh River is the only river in our country that flows into the Arctic Ocean), and is the demarcation line between the arid zone of Central Asia and the cold zone of Siberia in the Arctic. The southern slope of Altai Mountains is one of the three major snow areas in China, and also the southern boundary region of the northern hemisphere latitude perennial permafrost, rich snow and permafrost resources significantly affect the Altai Mountains and even the northern border region of water and ecological environment security. For this reason, with the joint support of the State Key Laboratory of Cryospheric Science, the State Key Laboratory of Permafrost Engineering, the National Glacier, Permafrost and Desert Science Data Center, the Two Rivers Nature Reserve of Altay Mountains in Xinjiang, the Altay Hydrographic Survey Bureau, and the Erqis River Basin Construction Management Bureau, the Cocotocai Station has carried out systematic monitoring of meteorology, snowpack, and permafrost in the Altay Mountains and Two Rivers area, and has accumulated a wealth of data and information. The field monitoring platform of the Cocotocai Station will provide basic scientific research data support for the prevention and control of snowmelt floods in the Irtysh River Basin, the efficient utilization of water resources in the northern Xinjiang region, and the monitoring and protection of the ecological environment of the Altai Mountains.

The data released this time is a 30-minute land surface process observation dataset of the source lake of the Yellow River, mainly from three observation points in the Ealing Lake basin. Ling Lake is the largest freshwater lake on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Together with the neighboring Zhaling Lake, it forms a "sister lake" at the source of the Yellow River, and is listed on the list of internationally important wetlands. It is also the core area of Sanjiangyuan National Park. Since 2010, the Ruoergai Station has set up three observation points on grassland, lake surface and lakeside in the Ealing Lake basin, and carried out long-term positioning monitoring, including turbulence flux, radiation flux and conventional meteorological elements, soil water and heat, as well as irregular monitoring of atmospheric boundary layer and lake thermal processes, forming a relatively complete observation system of atmospheric interaction in plateau lakes. The data released this time range from 2012 to 2019, with a time resolution of 30 minutes, aims to provide a basis for the observation and analysis of lake land surface processes in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and the evaluation and development of numerical simulation.

Based on the comprehensive study of the biological and physical processes of desertification, the project establishes an ecological kinetic model for the sandy land system in semi-arid deserts with the coupling of hydrology-soil-vegetation-wind erosion, analyzes the ecological mechanism of sandy land development and restoration, and constructs a database on the dynamics of sandy land in semi-arid deserts in northern China. We will analyze the ecological mechanism of development and restoration of sandy land, construct a database on the dynamics of sandy land in semi-arid desert areas in northern China, and elucidate the trend of evolution of sandy land. We will assess the carrying capacity of soil, moisture and vegetation in semi-arid desert ecosystems to maintain stability, explore the biological process and regulatory mechanism of stable restoration, identify the ecological thresholds for stable restoration of different sandy lands, form a technical system for assessing the health of semi-arid desert ecosystems based on the carrying thresholds, and put forward key biotechnologies to realize the stable restoration of sandy land. Construct an industrialized model of sandy land management in semi-arid desert areas with the main line of "scientific and technological support - ecological restoration - industrial development - social progress", and establish industrialized application demonstration bases for sand control and prevention adapted to regional characteristics in the Maowusu Sand, the eastern part of the Qubuzi Desert, the central and western part of the Horqin Sand and the Hulunbeier Sand. It will set up demonstration bases for industrialization and application of sand control and prevention to meet regional characteristics, and realize significant comprehensive ecological, economic and social benefits.
