%K Glacial Lake Inventory;Nepal;The area of glacial lake
%X Based on glacier inventory and 85 Gaofen-1/6 PMS images, 21 Sentinel 2A/2B MSI images and 16 Landsat OLI images, the boundary of glacial lakes in 2020 in Nepal were derived by using manual visual interpretation. The result shows that there were 2420 glacial lakes in Nepal, with an area range of 0.00015-4.79760 km2 and a total area of 87.57±5.28 km2. This dataset provides basic data for water resources evaluation, glacial lake outburst floods and  glacier hydrology study in Nepal.1.Name of DataNepal_glacial_lake_2020.shp2.Data description of  attribute items   GLAKE_ID: The coding of glacial LakeGL_Image: Information of source imageGL_Elev: The average elevation of glacial lake (m)GL_Area: The area of glacial lake (km2)GL_Peri: The perimeter of glacial lake (m)GL_Long: The longitude of centroid of the glacial lakes (°)GL_Lati: The latitude of centroid of the glacial lakes (°)
