摘要
The Tibetan Plateau(TP)and its surroundings are also referred to as“Asian Water Tower”,which is the headwater of ten major rivers in Asia and provides ecosystem service for nearly two billion people[1].The interior TP boasts the greatest concentration of high-latitude inland lakes in the world,providing essential water resources,regulating regional climate and maintaining ecological balance.Over the past 50 years,the TP has experienced rapid climate warming and overall wetting,which has led to glacier mass loss,thawing of permafrost,reduction in snow cover,and shortening of lake ice duration[1].Changes in lake water storage provide a means of assessing the regional hydrological response to recent climate change in this sparsely populated region.
