Seasonal ice-covered lake surface likely caused the spatial heterogeneity of aeolian sediment grain-size in the source region of Yellow River, northeastern Tibetan Plateau, China

The area of lakes in Tibetan Plateau (TP) is 36522 km2, accounting for nearly half (49.1%) of the total lake surface area in China, and the lakes in TP are seasonally ice-covered for 4–5 months per year.
