Vector dataset of glaciers and glacial lakes in the Boqu Basin in Central Himalaya (1976-2010)
This is the 1976, 1991, 2000, and 2010 vector data set of glaciers and glacial lakes in the Boqu Basin in Central Himalaya based on Landsat satellite images.
The data source is from Landsat remote images.
1976: LM21510411975306AAA05, LM21510401976355AAA04
1991: LT41410401991334XXX02, LT41410411991334XXX02
2000: LE71410402000279SGS00, LE71400412000304SGS00, LE71410402000327EDC00, LE71410412000327EDC00
2010: LT51400412009288KHC00, LT51410402009295KHC00, LT51410412009311KHC00, LT51410402011237KHC00.
The boundaries of glaciers and glacial lakes are extracted manually from the various remote sensing images.
The extraction error of the boundaries of glaciers and glacial lakes is estimated to be 0.5 pixels.
