Additional Forcing Variable Information

The Babao River is one of the main branches of the Heihe River Basin (HRB) which is the second-largest inland river basin in China. Due to high elevation, snow cover and permafrost are widely spread in the mountain regions, while seasonal frozen ground is distributed throughout the valley of the Babao River Basin. The Arou site is a typical seasonal frozen ground zone, however there are 3 stations along the evelvation gradient in the Babao River Basin.
