Abstract The Tibetan Plateau (TP), the highest and largest plateau in world, with complex competing cryospheric‐hydrologic‐geodynamic processes, is particularly sensitive to anthropogenic warming. quantitative water mass budget TP poorly known. Here we examine annual changes lake area, level, volume during 1970s–2015. We find that a pattern of 1970s–2015: slight decrease −2.78 Gt yr −1 1970s–1995, followed by rapid increase 12.53 1996–2010, then recent deceleration (1.46 ) 2011–2015....
Abstract The mass balance in the Inner Tibet Plateau (ITP) derived from Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) showed a positive rate that was attributed to glacier gain, whereas glaciers region, other field‐based studies, an overall loss. In this study, we examine lake's water level changes Tibetan (TP) suggest increased measured by GRACE predominately due lakes. For 200 lakes TP with 4 7 years of ICESat data available, mean lake total change rates were +0.14 m/yr +4.95 Gt/yr,...
Abstract Asia's high plateaus are sensitive to climate change and have been experiencing rapid warming over the past few decades. We found 99 new lakes extensive lake expansion on Tibetan Plateau during last four decades, 1970–2013, due increased precipitation cryospheric contributions its water balance. This contrasts with disappearing drastic shrinkage of areas adjacent Mongolian Plateau: 208 disappeared, 75% remaining shrunk. detected a statistically significant coincidental timing area...
Abstract Temperature changes over the Tibetan Plateau (TP) exhibit a dependence on altitude, as observed from meteorological station data and Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) land surface temperature (LST) data. However, little is known about in water (WST) of lakes TP under warming climate conditions past few decades. In this study, lake WST was examined using MODIS/Terra 8 day LST (nighttime) product (MOD11A2) period 2001–2012. It found that 52 included analysis...
Abstract Lake level change is an effective indicator of climate change, because it reflects the dynamic balance water input and loss. Here we provide a first look Ice, Cloud, land Elevation Satellite‐2 (ICESat‐2) on lakes Tibetan Plateau. ICESat‐2 doubles number observed using predecessor ICESat data. The ICESat/ICESat‐2 altimetry data between 2003 2018 are in excellent agreement with situ measurements from Qinghai ( R 2 = 0.95, root‐mean‐square error 0.10 m) gauge observations made 3...
Abstract Objectives Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) has become a major global public health issue, which worsened over time owing to changes in disease-related trends. This study aimed determine trends MDR-TB among children and adolescents for strategic planning. Methods A secondary analysis was performed on burden (<20 years) at the global, regional, national levels based sociodemographic index (SDI) quintiles from 1990 2019, using Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2019 database....
Snow over the Tibetan Plateau (TP) is an important water source of major Asian rivers and greatly influences availability in downstream areas. In this study, snow cover dynamics four characteristic lake basins, Cedo Caka, Selin Co, Nam Yamzhog Yumco during hydrological years 2001–2010 (September through August) are examined at basin scale using flexible multiday combined MODIS products. The time series multiday, seasonal, annual covered area (SCA), onset/disappearance dates snow, days (SCD),...
Daily snow cover mapping is difficult when Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) products are cloud obscured. The daily cloud-free product provides an essential parameter for hydrological modeling, climate system studies, and snow-caused disaster monitoring on the Tibetan Plateau (TP). In this paper, we present algorithm, Terra-Aqua-IMS (TAI), which combines MODIS Terra Aqua (500 m) Interactive Multisensor Snow Ice Mapping System (IMS; 4 km) to produce a m). overall accuracy...
Abstract Climate change and human activities are two key factors that affect grassland ecosystem. Accurately estimating the effects of these on dynamics understanding driving forces important in controlling degradation. In this study, potential Net Primary productivity (NPP P ) difference between NPP actual A used as indicators climate ecosystem Xinjiang. An overall increase than decrease (69.7% vs 30.3%) is found over study period 2000 to 2014. While played a dominant role for such...
