Spatial distribution of air temperature in high-elevation glacierized regions: from observations in four catchments on the Tibetan Plateau
This experiment contains 30-meter resolution near-surface air temperature datasets for four glacier regions (Guliya, Aru, Naimona’nyi, Dunde) on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, derived by integrating in situ measurements (automatic weather stations and loggers; January-November 2019) with Landsat 8/9 thermal infrared data. The datasets, spanning elevations of 4,947–6,078 m and temperatures from −42°C to +16°C, address data gaps through masked nearest-neighbor interpolation and Kriging (for clustered outliers ≥5), with spatial smoothing to minimize observational noise. Validation against ground measurements employs Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of °C and standard deviation (SD) of °C metrics, visualized via Temperature_Error graphs. The glaciers-representing diverse climatic zones-include Guliya (ice cap, westerlies-dominated), Aru (valley glacier), Naimona’nyi (Himalayan slopes), and Dunde (Qilian Mountains, transitional climate). Supported by elevation data from the Topographic Data of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (2021) and temperature data from the GATP Dataset (doi:10.26050/WDCC/GATP). These spatially interpolated temperature distributions serve as a reference for assessing cryospheric and climate models in high-altitude regions.
