%X The data set includes balance year and material balance. The dataset contains six records. The observation method of flower stalk was used. At the end of every year's glacier melting, the exposed height of flower stalks at different positions is measured with tape measure. Combined with the snow pit profile, the amount of glacier melting and accumulation is calculated, and the net material balance in each balance year is obtained, which is in millimeter water equivalent (mm W.E.). During the observation period, some of the flower stalks were toppled or covered by snow, so the effective data could not be obtained, which had a certain impact on the calculation results of the material balance year. Protocol sharing is adopted. The data set contains two fields: balance year (unit: year) and material balance quantity (unit: millimeter water equivalent (mm W.E.)). The data set is mainly measured data year by year, from August 2012 to August 2017. The accuracy of material balance calculation results is controlled within 5 mm water equivalent (MMW. E.).
