abstract="Core Ideas({\#}br)CHOICE is an observation platform for field, hillside, catchment and mountainous basin scales. A distributed hydrological model including cryospheric hydrology data is needed. CHOICE is an open cryospheric hydrology observation and research system.({\#}br)focus topic Critical zone research and observatories({\#}br)Understanding cryospheric hydrology and the effects of cryospheric changes on river runoff is critical for sustainable water management especially in arid inland river basins such as those in northwest China where water resources mainly come from alpine areas. A cryospheric hydrometeorology observation system (CHOICE) has been established since 2008 in the Hulu catchment, which is a well‐instrumented experimental and representative catchment in the upper reaches of the inland Hei River, Qilian Mountains, northwest China. The CHOICE includes dense meteorological measurements from 2980 to 4800 m asl (e.g. glacier, snow, and permafrost hydrology) and water and heat balance in the vertical land...",
