A Paired Lake-Land Observation Dataset of Lake-Atmosphere Interactions for Typical Mesoscale Lakes over the Tibetan Plateau (2019-2023)

However, continuous in-situ observations remain limited, especially for mesoscale lakes with lake areas of 100–500 km². To fill this gap, we established an integrated lake-atmosphere interaction observation dataset for three representative mesoscale lakes across different climatic zones of the TP: Bamu Co in the monsoon region, Longmu Co in the westerly region, and Langa Co in the monsoon-westerly transition region.

Each lake station is paired with a nearby land station, allowing direct comparison between lake-surface and surrounding land conditions.The dataset includes automatic weather station observations, eddy correlation, radiation components, and corresponding nearby land-station observations. The main variables include air temperature, humidity, pressure, wind, precipitation, shortwave and longwave radiation, and sensible and latent heat fluxes.
