Science Bulletin: Quantifying the major drivers for the expanding lakes in the interior Tibetan Plateau

The interior TP (ITP) contains more than 60% of the total lake water storage across the TP (Text S1.1 online). Owing to its large area and sparse observations, our knowledge of regional hydrology and the resulting lake water balance is very limited.

BAMS: TP-River: Monitoring and Quantifying Total River Runoff from the Third Pole

Monitoring changes in river runoff at the Third Pole (TP) is important because rivers in this region support millions of inhabitants in Asia and are very sensitive to climate change.

JH-Regional Studies: Energy-balance modeling of heterogeneous glacio-hydrological regimes at upper Indus

Results indicated that the high-resolution ERA5-Land precipitation data showed the most reliable estimate (∼750 mm/yr) among available products, which was the model’s forcing data.

GRL：Vanishing Glaciers at Southeast Tibetan Plateau Have Not Offset the Declining Runoff at Yarlung Zangbo

The Third Pole experiences accelerated glacier retreating particularly in the eastern-Himalaya, coinciding with a decrease of monsoon-precipitation in the early 21st century.

Science Bulletin：New methods designed to estimate the daily discharges of rivers in the Tibetan Plateau

In summary, remote sensing technology holds promise for estimating the daily discharges of TP rivers, although most of the current approaches for river discharge estimation require either in-situ calibration or a priori knowledge of river hydraulics, thus precluding their application to ungauged or remote rivers

GRL：全球干旱流域与湿润流域陆地水储量变化的差异性研究

河流径流量是最基础和重要的水文要素之一，但青藏高原径流量数据获取、观测困难，如何通过技术手段反演缺测区日径流量是一个科学难题。近日，中国科学院青藏高原研究所、青藏高原地球科学卓越创新中心王磊课题组与肯尼亚德丹基马蒂科技大学、水利部信息中心等单位合作，对青藏高原河流日流量估算的新方法进行了报道。研究人员开发和设计了适用于不同河流的遥感径流反演算法。对较宽河段（> 400米），提出了完全基于卫星
