There was a cooperative project between China and Japan to investigate the interaction between atmosphere and land in arid and semi-arid area. The project was undertaken in Heihe River basin in North-west China (Gansu Province), where called Hexi Corridor of the ancient silk road. The project was called as HEIFE ( Heihe river basin Field Experiment ). Disaster Prevention Research Institute, Kyoto University, Japan and Lanzhou Institute of Plateau Atomospheric Science, Chinese Academy of Science, China were representatives of both sides.
Many papers were appeared in scientific journals. For examples, Journal of Meteorological Society of Japan had two special issues at October and December 1995 ( see here ).
Most of data obtained in the project are open for future scientific research work, although the data are still in 'as is' state. We decided it to be open, because no one can make arrangement to data set until now.
The adminstation group of HEIFE WWW Site hope to improve this site and also data set itself. Please give us your helpful comment.
Please feel free to use HEIFE data for research and for education. You can use data without notification, of course without permittion.
