The trend of temperature of the Qilian Mountains in the Northwest of China
IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2020 Abstract Temperature is one of the important climatological factors which affects the hydrological processes in a watershed, and is commonly used to investigate the change of climate. The distribution and trend of annual and seasonal mean temperature for 44 meteorological stations in Qilian Mountains over a period of 1960 to 2017 were ...

Comparisons of statistical downscaling methods for air temperature over the Qilian Mountains [PDF]
Theoretical and Applied Climatology, 2022 Abstract Air temperature is an important indicator of climate change, as well as for understanding changes in hydrology, ecology, and other natural systems. However, meteorological stations that provide reliable temperature observations are usually sparse in areas of complex terrain, thus limiting our ability to quantify high spatial resolution

Glacier elevation change in the Western Qilian mountains as observed by TerraSAR-X/TanDEM-X images [PDF]
, 2021 The glaciers in the Qilian mountains are a major water resource for the arid Hexi corridor and Qaidam basin. With the climate becoming warmer and wetter, it is essential to study the glacier elevation changes in this region.
