Present-Day Lake Level Variation from Envisat Altimetry over the Northeastern Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau: Links with Precipitation and Temperature

Present-Day Lake Level Variation from Envisat Altimetry over the Northeastern Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau: Links with Precipitation and Temperature

Lakes in permafrost regions are highly sensitive to changes in air temperature, snowmelt, and soil frost. In particular, the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP) is one of the most sensitive regions in the world influenced by global climate change. In this study, we use retracked Enivsat radar altimeter me...
