Description
This directory contains the following datasets (all of which are further described in the manuscript):
- Snowline points (SLPs) derived from 194 Landsat scenes using NDSI (binary) image clarification for the upper Langtang Valley.
- Validation data: manually delineated SLPs from 3 No. high-resolution orthoimages (CartoSat-1 and ALOS), and unspectral unmixing fSCA products derived from 3 No. Landsat scenes.
- Gridded data with daily clear-sky global irradiance for the upper Langtang Valley.
- Precipitation and temperature data: summary tables of precipitation and temperature in Kyanjing for the period 1999-2013, and precipitation gradients per sub-catchment.
