Abstract
With the rapid development and the widely application of satellite altimetry, it provides an efficient tool and a well-validated technique for real-time and continual monitoring of the inland lake level. However, only few lakes in China are covered with historical altimeters’ GDRs. In this study, we investigate the level fluctuations of Poyang and Dongting (Yangtze River area), Qinghai (west China) and Hulun (northeast china) from altimetry and analyze the connections between level changes and the local climate.
This study is funded by the Natural Science Foundation Committee of China under grants 40274004 and 40304001
