Previous projections show consistent increases in river flows of Asian Water Towers under future climate change. Here we find non-monotonic changes for seven major rivers originating from the Tibetan Plateau at warming levels 1.5 °C, 2.0 and 3.0 °C based on an observation-constrained hydrological model. The annual mean streamflow level decreases by 0.1-3.2% relative to present-day condition, 1.5-12% level. shifting Yellow, Yangtze, Brahmaputra, Ganges are mostly influenced projected...
Abstract As a crucial variable in hydrological and climate modeling, lot of efforts have been made to estimate the evaporation ( E , including soil evaporation, canopy interception, plant transpiration) on Tibetan Plateau (TP). Most studies showed that TP stops increasing or even decreases recent two decades. However, spatio‐temporal variability this phenomenon its underlying mechanism remains uncertain. Here, we utilized state‐of‐the‐art version sigmoid generalized complementary equation...
Originating in the high mountains of western Tien Shan and Pamir, two transboundary rivers (the Syr Darya Amu Darya) are only sources streamflow into Aral Sea Basin, constitute a crucial freshwater source for central Asia. Climate change is one giant global issues which adversely affects water resources. Although current crisis Basin largely due to human activity, region also strongly impacted by climate change. Upstream has important influence on downstream ecological security,...
