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. Previous measurements were carried out further upstream (separate data file).
