The near-surface micrometeorological characteristics at elevation of 4 500 m of the Baishui Glacier No.1,Mt.Yulong,which is the southernmost temperate glacier in China and Eurasian continent,were analyzed using the observed meteorological data from October 1st,2011 through September 30,2012.Additionally,in this paper,the similarities and differences of surface micrometeorological features between temperature type glacier and continental type glacier were discussed by contrasting the meteorological data from the Baishui Glacier No.1,and the Laohugou Glacier No.12 in Qilian Mountains.The daily change of air temperature showed a single peak-valley pattern and rising rapidly while descending slowly both in temperature type glacier and continental type glacier.Air temperature at 5 m height was higher than that at 2 m height,and the difference between them presented a single peak with a maximum at 12:00.Controlled by monsoon,relative humidity during monsoonal season was higher than that other than monsoonal season,the mean annual relative humidity was 73.7%.Vapor pressure in the Baishui Glacier No.1 was more sensitive to air temperature as compared with relative humidity.Monthly mean pressure on the two glaciers presented a alpine-pressure style,higher in the warm half year and lower in the cold half year.Influenced by glacier cooling effect,wind speed during dry season was higher than that during wet season.In the study areas,glacier wind was weaker because of the smaller glacier scale,but valley breeze was prevail.The maximum global radiation occured in the earlier stage of the monsoon and the minimum one appeared during monsoon season,which was associated with cloudy and rainy air condition in wet season,and thus the annual mean global radiation on the Baishui Glacier No.1 was smaller than that at the same elevation in the Laohugou Glacier No.12.
