Monitoring of Glaciers, Climate, and Runoff in the Hindu Kush-Himalaya Mountains

Hydrometeorological monitoring, as discussed here, describes the activities required to characterize the properties and processes of the hydrosphere as it exists in the three-dimensional mesoscale environment of the high-mountain catchment basins o...
