The North China Plain (NCP), with an area of ~140,000 square kilometers, is among the most important agricultural producing bases in China. In addition to canal irrigation with surface water from the Yellow River, the NCP also needs much groundwater for intensive irrigation. Spatiotemporally continuous and daily evapotranspiration (ET) estimates of high spatial resolution could be valuable for improving our understanding of agricultural water consumption across the NCP, and also for improving water use efficiency for better agricultural water resource management practices over similar regions globally. This ET data set at 1 km spatial resolution and daily timescale across the NCP from Jan 2008 to Dec 2019 was generated using two source energy balance model (TSEB) and data fusion. The accuracy is generally comparable and even higher than published results, with our ET data set featuring spatiotemporal continuity and high spatial resolution for a decade. Furthermore, this data set and associated approaches are valuable for performing daily, monthly, seasonal, interannual, and trend analyses of ET in the NCP and similar regions globally.

This dataset was captured during the field investigation of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in June 2021 using uav aerial photography. The data volume is 3.4 GB and includes more than 330 aerial photographs. The shooting locations mainly include roads, residential areas and their surrounding areas in Lhasa Nyingchi of Tibet, Dali and Nujiang of Yunnan province, Ganzi, Aba and Liangshan of Sichuan Province. These aerial photographs mainly reflect local land use/cover type, the distribution of facility agriculture land, vegetation coverage. Aerial photographs have spatial location information such as longitude, latitude and altitude, which can not only provide basic verification information for land use classification, but also provide reference for remote sensing image inversion of large-scale regional vegetation coverage by calculating vegetation coverage.

The data set was obtained from UAV aerial photography during the field investigation of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau in August 2020. The data size is 10.1 GB, including more than 11600 aerial photos. The shooting sites mainly include Lhasa, Shannan, Shigatse and other areas along the road, residential areas and surrounding areas. The aerial photos mainly reflect the local land use / cover type, facility agriculture distribution, grassland coverage and other information. The aerial photos have longitude, latitude and altitude information, which can provide better verification information for land use / cover remote sensing interpretation, and can also be used for vegetation coverage estimation, and provide better reference information for land use research in the study area.
