Abstract:Abstract. Endorheic lakes on the Tibetan Plateau (TP) experienced dramatic changes in area and volume during the past decades. However, the hydrological processes associated with lake dynamics are still less understood. In this study, lake evaporation and its impact on seasonal lake level changes at Paiku Co, central Himalayas, were investigated based on three years of in-situ observations of lake thermal structure and hydrometeorology (2015–2018). The results show that Paiku Co is a dimictic lake with thermal… Show more
