Climatic characteristics of Gladin

The temperature difference is relatively large and the precipitation is scarce.

Gradandong is located in Tanggula Mountain Township, Golmud City. The highest peak in the Tanggula Mountains. Gladandong Snow Mountain is the birthplace of the Yangtze River and one of the most distinctive glacier snow mountains in China. At the same time, the expansion and contraction of Glacier in Gladiator Snow Mountain has obviously revealed the local and even the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and global climate changes, which has important scientific research value.

The geological structure in Gladandong area is complex, glacier activity is frequent, cutting is broken, and the terrain conditions are bad. The climate is dry, with low temperature all the year round above 5000 meters above sea level, and as low as below when it is coldest. This area is not only rich in water resources, but also contains a large number of precious minerals such as brass, yellow iron and crystal.

Extended data:

Gladin Cave is 50 kilometers long from north to south and 30 kilometers wide from east to west. In addition to the main peak Gladandong, there are more than 40 peaks above 6000 meters above sea level, with an area of 790.4 square kilometers and glaciers 130.

The snow line on the northern slope is 5570 meters high, and there is an arc glacier on both sides of the southern slope. The southern branch of Jianggendi looks like a glacier, with a length of12.8km and a width of1.6km.. There is a 5-kilometer-long ice tower forest at the tail, which is the birthplace of the detachment at the source of the Yangtze River. The northern branch glacier is 10. 1 km long and 1.3 km wide, and there is a 2 km long ice tower forest at the tail. Ice bridge, ice grass, ice needles, ice mushrooms, ice lakes and ice stalactites constitute a world of ice towers.

Glacier Dandong Glacier Section is the section of Qinghai-Tibet Railway with the worst climate, the worst geological conditions and the most difficult construction. Slope wetlands are widely distributed, with long frozen soil section, high ground temperature, large ice content and strong frost heaving and thawing settlement;

There are island permafrost and deep seasonal permafrost in the south of Amdo. In winter and spring, the temperature is very low and the wind is very cold. In July and August, the weather was a little warmer, and there was plenty of rain. A cloud floated by, either rain or snow or hail. The Qinghai-Tibet Railway starts from Tanggula Pass and is no longer parallel to the highway. Instead, it takes the no-man's land and goes straight to Amdo County, Xizang Autonomous Region.
