TY - Data T1 - Annual material balance data set of Qiyi glacier in Qilian Mountains, 2012-2017 A1 - Li zhen A1 - Chen anan DO - 10.12072/ncdc.DIMaC.db0070.2020 PY - 2020 DA - 2020-12-18 PB - National Cryosphere Desert Data Center AB - The data set includes balance year and material balance. The dataset contains six records. The observation method of flower stalk was used. At the end of each year's glacier melting, the exposed height of flower stalks at different positions was measured with tape. Combined with the snow pit profile, the amount of glacier melting and accumulation was calculated, and the net material balance in each balance year was obtained, which was expressed in millimeter water equivalent (mm W.E.). During the observation period, some of the flower stalks were toppled or covered by snow, so the effective data could not be obtained, which had a certain impact on the calculation results of the material balance year. Protocol sharing is adopted. The data set contains two fields: balance year (unit: year) and material balance quantity (unit: millimeter water equivalent (mm W.E.)). The data set is the annual measured data, from September 2012 to September 2017. DB - NCDC UR - http://www.ncdc.ac.cn/portal/metadata/a8ba857f-0f9f-4147-ab88-c9270fd87c7e ER -
