Comparison of ICESat-2 glacier crossover points on the Tibetan Plateau with existing studies. Fig. (a) displays glaciers and glacier crossover points on the Tibetan Plateau. The white range represents the Tibetan Plateau glacier boundary, the black dashed line represents the Tibetan Plateau boundary, the blue points represent ICESat-2 crossover points on the Tibetan Plateau glaciers, and the red points represent the Himalayan glacier annual mean change product points. Red boxes indicate comparison areas. Fig. (b) shows the Himalayan Glacier Comparison Experiment area, and Fig. (c) shows the Qilian Mountain Glacier Comparison Experiment area. The table shows the comparative results of crossover points on Himalayan glaciers according to elevation classification. The elevation zone delineation is based on the DEM of the Himalaya (30ām)52.
