The data includes the distribution data of underground ice in permafrost layer in the source area of the Yellow River. Based on the field data of 105 boreholes, such as landform and genetic type, permafrost temperature distribution, lithology composition and water content, the permafrost layer in the source area of the Yellow River is estimated to be 3.0-10.0 M The results show that the average ice content per cubic meter of soil in the source area of the Yellow River is close to the estimated value of underground ice storage in permafrost regions of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau calculated by Zhao Lin et al. The data is also of great significance for frozen soil prediction, evaluation of landscape stability in permafrost regions, and regional changes of topography, vegetation and hydrology caused by environmental changes.

File naming and required software

The distribution data of the permafrost ground ice in the source area of the Yellow River is stored in the folder as a vector file. The data format is ". SHP", and the name of the file is "distribution data of underground ice in permafrost of the Yellow River source area. SHP". It can be opened with ArcMap of ArcGIS platform version 10.3 or above.
