The data set contains the data set (98 ° 29′16″E, 31 ° Based on hobo temperature, moisture and small meteorological station, the monitoring data of shallow ground temperature, moisture and field meteorological elements of 36 ′ 36 ″ n) freeze-thaw landslide and thaw mud flow are obtained through field monitoring. The observation time is between August 31, 2019 and July 14, 2020. Through on-site monitoring of a complete freeze-thaw cycle, the monitoring data of ground temperature, moisture and meteorological elements automatically obtained by on-site sensors are downloaded. Through certain quality control, the data when the sensors are not fully adapted to the soil environment and the system error caused by sensor failure are eliminated. The observation depth of ground temperature is 10cm, 20cm, 40cm, 60cm, 80cm, 100cm, 150cm and 200cm, with a total of 8 layers. The observation depth of water is 20cm, 50cm, 100cm and 200cm, with a total of 4 layers. Meteorological observation elements mainly include temperature, rainfall, wind speed, wind direction and solar radiation. The observation interval is 30 minutes (Note: the maximum range of solar radiation sensor is 1276.8 w / m2, and the actual solar radiation value is 1276.9 w / m2 when it is greater than the maximum range; The minimum starting wind speed of the wind speed sensor is 0.5m/s. When the actual wind speed is less than the starting wind speed, the display value is 0. Therefore, the data can not reflect the phenomenon of super solar constant and wind speed below 0.5m/s). Quality control includes eliminating the data when the sensor is not fully adapted to the soil environment and the system error caused by sensor failure. The corrected final data is stored in Excel file. The integrity and accuracy of the obtained field data are more than 95% after review by many people. The monitoring data can provide the necessary data support for the research of freeze-thaw landslide and thaw mud flow in Southeast Tibet.

Terrestrial actual evapotranspiration (ETa) is an important component of terrestrial ecosystems because it links the hydrological, energy, and carbon cycles. However, accurately monitoring and understanding the spatial and temporal variability of ETa over the Tibetan Plateau (TP) remains very difficult. Here, the multiyear (2000-2018) monthly ETa on the TP was estimated using the MOD16-STM model supported by datasets of soil properties, meteorological conditions, and remote sensing. The estimated ETa correlates very well with measurements from 9 flux towers, with low root mean square errors (average RMSE = 13.48 mm/month) and mean bias (average MB = 2.85 mm/month), and strong correlation coefficients (R = 0.88) and the index of agreement values (IOA = 0.92). The spatially averaged ETa of the entire TP and the eastern TP (Lon > 90°E) increased significantly, at rates of 1.34 mm/year (p < 0.05) and 2.84 mm/year (p < 0.05) from 2000 to 2018, while no pronounced trend was detected on the western TP (Lon < 90°E). The spatial distribution of ETa and its components were heterogeneous, decreasing from the southeastern to northwestern TP. ETa showed a significantly increasing trend in the eastern TP, and a significant decreasing trend throughout the year in the southwestern TP, particularly in winter and spring. Soil evaporation (Es) accounted for more than 84% of ETa and the spatial distribution of temporal trends was similar to that of ETa over the TP. The amplitudes and rates of variations in ETa were greatest in spring and summer. The multi-year averaged annual terrestrial ETa (over an area of 2444.18×103 km2) was 376.91±13.13 mm/year, equivalent to a volume of 976.52±35.7 km3/year. The average annual evapotranspirated water volume over the whole TP (including all plateau lakes, with an area of 2539.49×103 km2) was about 1028.22±37.8 km3/year. This new estimated ETa dataset is useful for investigating the hydrological impacts of land cover change and will help with better management of watershed water resources across the TP.

The field observation platform of the Tibetan Plateau is the forefront of scientific observation and research on the Tibetan Plateau. The land surface processes and environmental changes based comprehensive observation of the land-boundary layer in the Tibetan Plateau provides valuable data for the study of the mechanism of the land-atmosphere interaction on the Tibetan Plateau and its effects. This dataset integrates the 2005-2016 hourly atmospheric, soil hydrothermal and turbulent fluxes observations of Qomolangma Atmospheric and Environmental Observation and Research Station, Chinese Academy of Sciences (QOMS/CAS), Southeast Tibet Observation and Research Station for the Alpine Environment, CAS (SETORS), the BJ site of Nagqu Station of Plateau Climate and Environment, CAS (NPCE-BJ), Nam Co Monitoring and Research Station for Multisphere Interactions, CAS (NAMORS), Ngari Desert Observation and Research Station, CAS (NADORS), Muztagh Ata Westerly Observation and Research Station, CAS (MAWORS). It contains gradient observation data composed of multi-layer wind speed and direction, temperature, humidity, air pressure and precipitation data, four-component radiation data, multi-layer soil temperature and humidity and soil heat flux data, and turbulence data composed of sensible heat flux, latent heat flux and carbon dioxide flux. These data can be widely used in the analysis of the characteristics of meteorological elements on the Tibetan Plaetau, the evaluation of remote sensing products and development of the remote sensing retrieval algorithms, and the evaluation and development of numerical models.
