Discharge: Langshisha glacier old station

This dataset provides discharge measurements at terminus of Langshisha Glacier in Langtang Valley. The station is no longer operational. Discharge calculated from stage height measurements over multiple years, based on a rating curve developed locally with salt dilution. Station was destroyed by high flow and briefly reinstalled further downstream (separate data file).
