a, b Gibbs plots [total dissolved solids (TDS) versus molar Na/(Na+Ca)], and c, d Mixing diagrams of Na-normalized molar ratios for the 19 Asian glaciers generated in this study and for 77 glaciers in eleven glacial regions (Supplementary Table 6). Note that data within the blue dashed circles denote Meikuang Glacier (MKG) and Yuzhufeng Glacier (YZG) in the Kunlun (Fig. 1B), and cations are not corrected for the sea-salt and aerosol contributions.
