The runoff plot is located in Shigatse, the Tibetan Plateau. The area had a serious soil erosion and large areas of low cover vegetation. Therefore, the runoff plot was constructed to monitor the soil erosion. The runoff plot had a length of 10 m, width of 5 m and a slope of 30°。 The vegetation coverage is low. The fully automatic runoff and sediment instrument was used to measured the runoff and sediment process. The temporal resolution varies with runoff process and had a high resolution when the water level changed rapidly. The measured results can provide the data support for the soil erosion in the Tibetan Plateau.

File naming and required software

File naming: The inforamtion of the type and the NO. of the plot, the No. of the full automatic runoff and sediment instrument were included in the file name.
The file can be opened by the Excel software.
