An intra-annual 30-m dataset of small lakes of the Qilian Mountains, northeast of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau, for the period 1987-2020
Year: 2022
Type: dataset
Abstract: Using Google Earth Engine platform and 13,297 Landsat TM/ETM+/OLI images, we released an intra-annual 30-m dataset of small lakes with different water body frequency thresholds (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) of the Qilian Mountains region of the Tibetan Plateau from 1987 to 2020, containing 8 attributes: code, perimeter (km), area (km2), latitude, longitude, elevation (m), area error, relative error (%), and subregion. Our published dataset can provide support for small lakes studies across the Tibetan Plateau and other alpine regions of the world. For more questions or issues regarding the dataset, please contact Chao Li ([email protected]) and Shiqiang Zhang ([email protected]).
