A dataset of extreme temperature-rising process over the Pamirs Plateau in the Northern of the China–Pakistan Economic Corridor (1961– 2017)

Melting runoff caused by extreme temperature-rising is one of the major hydrologic meteorological disasters, has many attentions of the society and the scientific community. Based on the daily maximum temperature data at 3 meteorological stations over the Pamirs Plateau, we established the database of temperature-rising process during the period of January 1st 1961 to December 31th 2017.

We also determined and calculated the indices of the extreme temperature-rising process over the Pamirs Plateau, and the change characteristics of the process sustained days, frequency and intensity were analyzed. This dataset is useful for research on the occurrence frequency and developing trend of extreme temperature-raising events. This dataset can also provide the early warning and data support for climate extremes and flood disaster risk over the China-Pakistan economic corridor.
