Debris temperature and ablation measurements from the Lirung Debris-Covered Glacier (2013-2014), Nepal

<p>These data are from the debris-covered portion of Lirung Glacier, Langtang Valley located in the Langtang National Park of the Nepal Himalaya that were&nbsp;collected during three field expeditions&nbsp;between September 2013 and April&nbsp;2014.&nbsp;The data includes debris temperature&nbsp;measurements at two&nbsp;different sites of the glacier in three different seasons of the year 2013 (Monsoon and Winter) and 2014 (Pre-Monsoon). Debris temperature measurements from thermistors located at the surface (Black-colored dirty ice) to up to 40 cm from the surface. Dataset also included the ablation measurement in three seasons at different debris-thicknesses. Below is a brief description of the two different datasets:</p> <p>- Ablation_stake_data_Lirung_glacier_CHAND.csv: ablation stake measurement in the Monsoon and Winter season of 2013 and pre-monsoon season of 2014 from Chand and Kayastha (2018) and Chand et al. (2015).</p> <p>- Debris_temperature_profile_Lirung_Glacier_CHAND.csv: debris temperature measurements (Degree Celcius) where the depth is reported in cm from Chand and Kayastha (2018).</p> <p>----- Citing datasets -----</p> <p>Chand, M.
