The lakes larger than 1k㎡ in Tibetan Plateau (V1.0) (1970s, 1990, 2000, 2010)- A Big Earth Data Platform for Three Poles

The dataset includes vector map of the lakes larger than 1k㎡ on Tibetan Plateau in 1970s, 1990, 2000, 2010.

The lake boundry data was extracted from remote sensing image like Landsat MSS, TM, ETM+, by means of visual interpretation.

The data type is vector data, and it's attribute class includes Area (km²).

The Projected Coordinate System is Albers Conical Equal Area.

It is mainly used in the study of changes in lakes, hydrological and meteorological on the Tibetan Plateau.

File naming and required software

The data file is named Lake_TP_XXXX, where XXXX represents the year (eg. Lake_TP_1970s). The data can be viewed and edited by ArcGIS software.
