Spatial distribution of air temperature in high-elevation glacierized regions: from observations in four catchments on the Tibetan Plateau - Naimona'nyi data
This dataset provides high-resolution (30 m grid) near-surface air temperature estimates for Naimona'nyi Glacier, a valley glacier on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (2019), derived from ground-based meteorological observations at six glacier stations. Spatial interpolation within a Landsat 8 Land Surface Temperature (LST) geographic framework ensures precise alignment with remote sensing-derived topography. Data graph visualizations of the errors between spatially interpolated temperatures and ground measurements were quantified using Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of °C and standard deviation (SD) of °C, presented in the Temperature_Error Graphs (PDF format). The dataset serves as a reference for evaluating spatial interpolation accuracy in high-altitude cryospheric systems, supporting climate modeling, glacier mass balance studies, and environmental monitoring.
