The Institute of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Chinese Academy of Sciences (Institute of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Chinese Academy of Sciences) started temperature monitoring in more than 10 representative plateau lakes in 2012, one of which is Bangong Lake (also known as Bangongcuo), the pearl of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

The research team of the institute used a method similar to measuring body temperature for lakes, placing thermometers from the surface of the lake to the bottom of the lake to monitor the water temperature of plateau lakes in layers.

  On July 23, China's second comprehensive scientific expedition on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (Second Qinghai-Tibet Scientific Expedition), the "History of Human Activities and Its Impact" scientific expedition team came to Tibet Ali Bangong Lake to carry out scientific expedition, the most important task It is to read the thermometer placed in the Bangong Lake in 2012 to accurately measure the "body temperature" for the Bangong Lake, and to study and analyze its "body temperature" changes in the past 10 years.
