To probe into the problem, annual variations of precipitation and land-surface evapotranspiration were analyzed by using the historical observation data from a compre- hensive land-surface observation base of LOPEX （Loess Plateau Experiment）.

Then, the impact factors related to additional water budget components and observational methods were studied. The total annual imbalance could be reduced to 3.8% by using a combination of compensated land-surface water bud- get components and the surface evapotranspiration values obtained from the large-scale weighing lysimeter rather than from the eddy correlation method.展开更多
