The comprehensive baseline information on the glaciers of the HKH region was generated semi-automatically using more than 200 Landsat 7 ETM+ images of 2005 ± 3 years with minimum cloud and snow coverage. The glacier outlines were derived by using object-based image classification method separately for clean-ice and debris-covered glaciers with some manual intervention. The attribute data were assigned to each glacier using 90m resolution SRTM DEM.

Relative humidity (in percentage) and actual vapour pressure (in millibar) at 08:45 and 17:45 NST are computed from the readings taken from the non-aspirated simple Psychrometer (dry bulb and wet bulb thermometers at about 1.25 meter above ground level), sheltered in the Stevension screen. Missing number of days of for temperature, humidity and vapour pressure records, if exist, in any month is appended at the lower right corner of the corresponding data cell in the form of character code that is defined below the summary table.

RCM Climate data for different scenario (reference period, future projection), RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5. These following models are included in data;GISS-E2-R-r4i1p1, IPSL-CM5A-LR-r4i1p1,IPSL-CM5A-LR-r3i1p1, CanESM2-r4i1p1, GFDL-ESM2G-r1i1p1, IPSL-CM5A-LR-r4i1p1, CSIRO-Mk3-6-0-r3i1p1, CanESM2-r4i1p1 are used for simulating the global climate change between 1998- 2050.

Digital polygon data of Status of Glaciers in Gandaki Basin during 2005 ± 3 (2002-2008) years. This dataset is created using Landsat ETM+ imageries of respective years. The glacier outlines was derived semi-automatically using object-based image classification (OBIC ) method separately for clean ice and debris cover and further editing and validation was done carefully by draping over the high resolution images from Google Earth. The attribute data were assigned to each glacier using 90m resolution SRTM DEM.
