What is the project?
This project aims to digitize daily discharge, total suspended sediment, rainfall, and evaporation data measured at Chinese stations until 1987. They are currently available in book form only and we aim to make them available digitally to facilitate easier analysis of Chinese rivers using measured data.
Citation information
If you use these data please cite this paper, which is coming out in Geology in November. .
Henck, A., Montgomery, D. R., Huntington, K. W., and Liang, C. (2010). Monsoon control of effective discharge, Yunnan and Tibet. Geology 38, 975-978.
Here is a link to the pre-print of the paper.
Another paper which use these data and describe them more fully will be coming out in 2011 in the Annals of the Association of American Geographers. Once pre-prints arrive for that paper, I will include that here (and the citation) as well.
Disclaimer: This project is ongoing and the data are still being digitized. At the time of publishing only the Yunnan-Tibet International Rivers data for discharge and sediment concentration are available (districts 9-1 and 9-2).
