Two large aperture scintillation meters, BLS450 and Zolas, were installed at the upstream Aruo station. The north tower serves as the receiving end of Zolas and the transmitting end of BLS450, while the south tower serves as the transmitting end of Zolas and the receiving end of BLS450. The observation period is from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017. The station is located in Caodaban Village, Aruo Township, Qilian County, Qinghai Province, with a high-altitude grassland as the underlying surface. The latitude and longitude of the North Tower are 100.4712E, 38.0568N, and the latitude and longitude of the South Tower are 100.4572E, 38.0384N, with an altitude of approximately 3033m. The effective height of the large aperture scintillation instrument is 9.5m, the optical path length is 2390m, and the sampling frequency is 1min.
