Fig. 1: Trends in groundwater storage anomalies (GWSA) on the TP from 2002 to 2018.
From: The slowdown of increasing groundwater storage in response to climate warming in the Tibetan Plateau
a Spatial distribution of trends in GWSA, as estimated from multi-source observations and high-resolution land surface model simulation. Basin boundaries (red lines), lakes, and glaciers distributions are indicated. Triangles represent trends in GWSA for each basin (red and blue triangles represent decreasing and increasing GWSA trends, respectively; only basins with trends > 0.3 Gt yr−1 are shown). The size of the triangles represents the magnitude of GWSA trends (Gt yr−1). The boundary of TP is derived from SRTM DEM at an altitude of 2500 m. b Annual GWSA on the TP for each basin during 2002–2018. The black line represents the GWSA estimated based on monthly lake water storage data (50 lakes larger than 150 km2 and two lakes larger than 100 km2, see “Methods”), and blue dots represent data from 5-year intervals for 1132 lakes larger than 1 km2 (see “Methods”).
