What is it about?
It is about long-term and systematic observations of the spatial heterogeneity of ground surface temperature caused by microrelief, vegetation difference (e. g., NDVI), and heterogeneous moisture conditions at an alpine meadow within a small region with almost consistent elevation on the Tibetan Plateau. It provides key values relating to the near-surface air temperature and ground surface temperature. The N-factors relating to the freezing and thawing indices on the near-surface and ground surface, and the surface offset equals to the difference between mean annual air temperature and mean annual ground surface temperature had been quantified.

Why is it important?
It may facilitate the accurate modeling or mapping of permafrost for the Tibetan Plateau.
