Datasets description

This dataset presents the measurement results of the thickness of Glacier No. 51 on Kuitun River in Tianshan Mountains in 2010, including the area, average thickness, average slope, and maximum thickness of the corresponding altitude zones.

Base information

collect time	2010/08/01 - 2010/08/01
collect place	No. 51 Glacier of Kuitun River in Tianshan Mountains
altitude	3400.0m - 4000.0m
data size	9.4 KiB
data format	excle
Coordinate system	WGS84

Data source description

Independently generated.

Data processing method

Ground penetrating radar observation: Around the glacier material balance observation array network, PulseEKKO PRO type ground penetrating radar is used to set up horizontal and vertical profiles around the flower pole point for observation. The profile method is used to detect the thickness of the glacier by synchronously moving the transmitting antenna and receiving antenna of the ground penetrating radar along the measurement line with a fixed spacing (antenna distance).

Data quality description

Strictly follow the World Glacier Monitoring Center (WGMS) and relevant domestic glacier observation and survey methods and standards.
