However, its lake bed is recently dried up in large area. Analyzing from the data monitored by EOSVMODIS satellite, the water area of the Ebinur Lake has been sharply reduced since summer 2006, its lake bed has been dried up in large area since late-July, and such situation became more serious up to mid-August. According to the data monitored by EOS\MODIS satellite, the water area of the lake was 550.6 km2 on August 19, 2006, and it was reduced by 263.4 km2, 126.4 km2 and 158.4 km2 comparing with that in late-July and early-August 2006 and mid-August 2005, respectively.According to the data monitored by EOS\MODIS satellite, the water area of the Ebinur Lake fluctuated in a range of 700-1 000 km2 during the period from April 2002 to July 2006, and it was larger than 1000km2 during the period from the end of spring to early summer 2005 (Tab.1). However, the water area of the Ebinur Lake was reduced to 550.6 km2 in mid-August 2006, the lake bed was dried up in large area, and the water area was the smallest since recent 4 years.展开更多
