The geo-location of the Paiku Co is between 28°46′33″N and 29°01′26″N, 85°29′46″E and 85°40′15″E. It is located in the western of the rift basin on the northern foothills of the Himalayas, and surrounded by mountains on the north, east and west. The south is a flood-lacustrine plain dotted with arc hills. In 2015, the water area of the Paiku Co was 270.74 km², and the shoreline was 90.78 km. It is a plateau temperate monsoon semi-arid climate, with annual sunshine hours of 2723.5 h, annual precipitation of 380.6 mm, and a large annual temperature difference, with an average annual temperature of 3.8 ℃. The melt water from Ice and snow flows into the lake mainly by Barixiongqu, Zhaqu (Daqu) and Laqu. The dataset was developed based on Google Earth Satellite Images (2015) and related maps. The dataset is archived in .shp and .kmz formats, and consists of 14 data files with a data size of 223 KB (compressed into 2 files with 98.7KB).Browse
