The data covers a high-altitude area of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau for seven glacier regions (Guliya, Aru, Naimona'nyi, Gagze, Dunde, Parlung, and XiaodongKemadi), with a spatial resolution of 30 meters, spanning elevations of 3,924-6,078 m and temperatures of -42°C to +21°C. The original temperature data were obtained from multiple sources, including thermal infrared remote sensing data from Landsat 8 (L8) and Landsat 9 (L9) Collection 2 (C2) Level 2 (L2) products, as well as ground station measurements from National Tibetan Plateau/Third Pole Environment Data Center. Missing values were reconstructed through masked nearest-neighbor interpolation, followed by spatial smoothing to minimize residual inaccuracies during the temperature field updating process. This approach (gap-filling, bias-correction, smoothing) ensured robust spatialization of near-surface air temperature data. Technical validations are detailed in Accuracy and Completeness Reports. The dataset provides temperature distributions for glacier-covered areas of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. This dataset is suitable for climate research, environmental monitoring, and cryosphere. The experiment's temporal coverage is discontinuous; the eight datasets have different time ranges. The temporal coverage includes Southeastern data (2023-01 to 2023-03), Xiaodongkemadi data (2012-05 to 2015-08), and Aru, Dagze, Dunde, Guliya, Naimona'nyi, and Parlung data (all from 2019-01, with end dates ranging from 2019-10 to 2019-11).
